	I helped a friend assemble a set of these irons about a year and a 
	half ago, and I have had the opp. to use them a couple of times 
	when I was considering switching from blades to cavity backs. 
	
	They are very solid and forgiving clubs, that get the ball up quick, 
	with the mid-flex point dynamic gold shafts. The feel is of a very 
	"head-heavy" club (as compared to my blades at the time) but in 
	hitting them after I purchased my set of cavity backs (King Snakes)
	they seem very similar (just slightly heavier). All in all I liked the 
	clubs very much, and they play well and wear very well. They have a 
	slightly thicker topline that I personally wasn't comfortable with, 
	but at address were easy to square up.

    Hi,
    
     I play the XPC2000 (PING ZING knockoffs) I've had absolutely no
    hardware problems or any wear related problems. I'm quite certain 
    because I'm a poor golfer any ctiqiue of these clubs would be useless.
    
    But I like'm!

    As a club maker I have assembled 4 sets of XPC-2000's.  1 set came back
    to me to de-loft the clubs by 2 degs.  The gentlemen that was using
    them felt he was not getting the distance he wanted even with a high
    kick point shaft.  After de-lofting the clubs the guy said he was
    getting exceptional distance, accuracy and still getting the height he
    was looking for.  The other sets I have out in the golf world seem to
    be doing just great.  Everyone says they feel good and are a very
    forgiving club.
