I thought they were to be released November 1st??

sdandrea1 yep the original 4 pc was very good.....and the balls since have been nothing special, with one iteration the cover separated from the other layer/s and they had to take the product off the market. I've only seen/read about serious defects like that with a prior gen Callaway chrome soft cores being off center.

A buddy of mine ordered a set right away and this was almost word for word the reasoning he had.

sdandrea1 They could substitute relish..........

Or pizza cheese, no?

CallMeAl The back of them looks just like the TM p790. Didn’t see a screw hole though . Sold out anyway

Hole/Screw is at the toe (first pic).

A sellout this early raises a few eyebrows.

sdandrea1

They look great to my eye. I'm waiting for the 7-W config. 😉

@customgolfcenter I see on GolfWRX that you think these are the same iron as the SMT 579. That's interesting. Have you built any of the SMTs?

DonM I thought exactly the same thing as Customgolfcenter when I stumbled across the SMT iron heads again. More like SMT than TM… almost exact copy.

DonM I have built several sets, haven't actually hit them myself though. And I don't have any on-hand at the moment, but maybe I'll see if I can have DTG send me a #7 iron head in my next shipment so I can do a direct side by side comparison.

I’m sure these will be pretty good irons. At the end of the day assuming they are a reasonable fit flex lie etc. I highly doubt the masses of 5-15 handicap players bagging them would notice much difference between these and the Taylormade ones. At least on the score card

👍 The 5 cappers can play well with a Dick's box set. 😉

sdandrea1 the rest of us would have better luck scoring by putting our dick in a box.

I'm guessing a YouTube review will be posted soon....

Already on ebay for near $1K...???

Yep. More than a couple of them on eBay for $900 - $1,100. 🤑

How so? I'm not seeing the resemblance, plus SMT is a hollow head.

Typhoon

Par4QC We’re talking looks. The Kirkland back and SMT back look the same. Not talking how they’re made, looks.

Par4QC The Kirkland and SMT 579 heads and nearly 100% identical from what I can tell looking at the photos, and also identical to an open-foundry model from Xiamen Jasde who produces heads for many different DTC brands (including SMT & Sub70). I'll have to get my hands on them to confirm (should be arriving tomorrow!). But they are both poon-filled hollow-bodied heads, and the specs are all within +/-1° for loft & lie and less than 1mm for offset, which could have either been fudged on the spec sheet (while still within factory tolerances) just to make them "different" on paper. Or they could have made slight tweaks to the specs since they obviously had their own molds made with their branding.

Specs similar not same. Doubt they are the same, but? They all look similar to me. Do ya:ll got the sweats for not pulling the trigger 😂. Gotta love the hollow filled ~~garbage~~ selling out in record time. Hahaha

Threads like this are so bad! I'm glad they're sold out. I really liked the wedges that I demoed from @Bravopilot.

Not me. I have a set of forged iron & wedge heads/shafts coming in from @LogicalOne that was less costly.

Thank you Rex! I’m hoping to ship them out tomorrow. I apologize for the delay. Had some withdrawal issues last week and was not able to get around much.

ode

No sweats for me either. lol 😂 And honestly, if I did want heads like that, I have a resource that would ship me a set. They just wouldn’t say Kirkland. 😂😊

ode

sdandrea1 thankfully we did not know they were going to sell out so fast....might have caved 🙃....would like to know how many units!

5000 sets was what I read.
