Played today for the first time with the new clubs. Overall, I'm pretty happy.

The Acer 905XP Pro irons performed well. I was concerned with the ball flight being too high, but it seems just right -- maybe even a touch lower than my previous set of irons, the Cleveland T3 Form Forged. I really like the Apollo Hump shafts (stiff). They are different looking, with the hump further down the shaft than I expected, towards the head. The idea in the design is to provide a thicker shaft dimension toward the clubhead to increase stability (reduce twisting) and doing so without having to thicken the shaft. You'd really have to see and swing this shaft -- it works as promised. Even when I did catch a couple towards the toe, twisting wasn't an issue.

I chipped really well with the pitching wedge. It comes off at a nice angle, and with just enough spin to play that little check and roll shot. My older Cleveland wedge's grooves were worn out badly and I had difficulty with control.

I think I'm really going to like these irons.

As for the driver -- Power Play Triport System Q -- that will be a work in progress. The low torque shaft (True Ace Blue Crush stiff) worked well, but I'm concerned with the kickpoint. It spec's as a mid-kick -- not so sure it is. A few tee shots went really high, and it felt like the shaft doing it. I was able to really nail my last two drives, and the launch angle was good. Concentrated on keeping my wrist angle correct through impact and that helped. I may have been flippin' a bit on my earlier driver swings that went high. I haven't tinkered with the weighting system yet. Will work on this -- all in all, I'm impressed with the driver, as well.

Shot even par 72 on a very wet day in a fog bank the entire round. We were watching each others shots to estimate where they were ending up. It was the thickest I'd ever played in. But no wind, and the temp was mild for this time of year. We walked -- nice exercise.

Will continue to update progress with these clubs. In the meantime, check out hireko.com's site. It's impressive how you can custom build a set of clubs, and the prices are very reasonable.
