I posted a review for these clubs under "single club" because I was searching for an 'A' wedge. Since most reviews here seem to be for ebay problems, I figured I'd include my full review for the Fusion iron set I bought a while back. I got the used clubs (BTW, genuine Callaways) at a very good price from a very good local golf company but have seen them at close to this price at auction on ebay. I look for technology that can help improve my iron game regardless of cosmetics or workability. I look for clubs that do what they 1) are suppose to do as advertised, 2) are a good value and 3) may have been overlooked in the overwhelming glare of the Big Company's advertising. The Callway Fusion Irons fit the first parameter and fit it better than any iron I have ever used. Parameter 2? If you buy 'em retail, they just simply cost way too much...and in my opinion, the cost has less to do with R&D, production and materials than with the high cost of marketing. The cost would be a dealbreaker if not for used club sales and ebay. I got my 3-PW set, practically mint, for $475 -- essentially what you'd pay for a relatively good set of OTCTMT (Other-Than-Callaway/TaylorMade/Titleist) irons. Parameter 3 didn't figure in either...obviously, Callaway products cannot be considered overlooked. I have been playing Wilson Deep Red II distance Irons. I would have happily still be playing them because they are simply the best Overlooked/Under marketed/Underpriced clubs ever made. My plan was to just keep playing them unless something came along that was a LOT better. I am a mid-handicapper (9.0 -- 12.0 depending on how much I practice and how the short game's going) and the Wilson' simply allowed me to hit the ball with long, mid, and short irons straight and long -- not bad qualities in an iron!. What they don't do is spin the ball much or provide a lot of feel for touch shots. The Wilson's have some distance gaps, but they are manageable. Also, the large head size can make some lies a bit tough. The Fusion irons, on the other hand, have none of the drawbacks. Cosmetically, they are nice albeit high-tech looking. At address they are more traditional looking with a topline much thinner than you may expect from Cally. Thry're accurate, as long as the Wilsons (7 iron= 160) and incredibly forgiving without sacrificing feel. There is adequate feedback to tell exactly where on the face the ball was struck, but mis-hits are handled nicely. There is very little loss of distance or line. You can hit them high, low, knock 'em down and lean on them. Play a fade or draw, but don't expect a lot of cut or hookage. The long irons are easier to hit than the Wilsons -- and that says a lot. NO club I've ever played had easier to hit long irons. The feel, distance and control are consistant throughout the set. My shafts are uniflex steels, and your milage may vary -- I've hit Fusions with S-300 shafts and they were a bit longer, but also a bit heavier. The short irons and wedge are real confidence boosters, and it's easy to pick a target and just go. I've played (in addition to the Wilsons) Ping ISI and I-3+ Blades, Mizuno MP-32's and have experienced various TaylorMade RAC configurations and must say that, for my game, the Fusions are by far the best fit.Read full review
Interested readers: I am here to inform you that the Callaway Big Bertha Fusion is a great club. I do really like these clubs, but I still have a few complaints. Golf Digest stated that these clubs were very easy to hit, and I would definitely agree with that, but I would also say that they play difficult from tough lies(Rough, High Weeds, etc.- Not that I would ever be in them...lol). When put on a level lie in the fairway and if you put a good swing on the ball, it is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Like "Tin Cup" says, "you feel it in your loins." Often times though, these clubs play like players irons. The are harder to hit from the rough, but overall allow for quite a bit of workability. Overall, I would definitely recommend these clubs for you but I would check your "home" courses conditions and get fit for them to make the clubs that much more enjoyable. FUSION POWER!!!Read full review
I've owned these club for 2 years now, I am pleased with them because they get great distance, but for some reason it doesn't feel as good as my old clubs, Taylor Made Firesole Tour irons. I feel like my old irons have better control because I like how the weight is all on the bottom compare to the weight distributed through out the club face. Plus these clubs are a bit on the heavy side compare to my old clubs but that's probably the reason it gets more distance. I like Honma irons but even used ones are quite expensive so that's why I choose this set. I certainly like to go back to cavity back and weight on the bottom irons. I am sure they are good clubs but I am just not good at using them. Next season I'll use these clubs more and if still doesn't do it for me I will sell them and get either Honma or Big Bertha cavity back irons.Read full review
I've tested this club at the pro shop before , And it was appropriate for my swing, and made me feel good when i hit it. It was came out on 2007, It has superior weight-shifting Fusion Technology and three distinct materials ; TPU SenSert layer system for reduce vibration at impact, lightweight titanium face ,a larger sweet spot and larger effective hitting area. my only complaint is that too expensive when it was new issue. I intend to buy it when its prize going down otherwise i can find the use one on ebay that i can afford it.
I bought these clubs used, but they were in excellent condition. Getting a bit older I wanted to try not only the Fusion irons, but irons with graphite shafts, and senior flex shafts. I like them very much. They set up to the ball nicely and look great. You can really feel the head during the swing. In fact the head feels a bit heavy and the shafts very light, which is what you would expect with graphite/senior shafts. They hit the ball pretty high which is what I was seeking. They are very forgiving clubs, so much so, that sometimes you do not realize you hit it off-center until you look at the impact mark on the clubface. I have played many different types of clubs and I would highly recommend this club and senior shafts to anyone who is beginning to need a little help with distance and height on your shots. The graphite seems to cushion the shock a bit, too. Less aches and pains for us pre-seniors (ha ha).Read full review
