Bridgestone GC Mid Size Iron Review

I have just posted a review of the Over Size model of the Bridgestone GC irons, and while I liked that these clubs could do what they were advertised to do, I still wanted to put in a review for the smaller, Mid Size irons for the mid to low handicap player, or those looking for a little smaller club. Bridgestone has been doing such a good job at making quality golf clubs available to every player type at every price point. I felt that after I had tried a few of their clubs last Summer, I needed to try them all to post as a review. I am glad I did!

The Bridgestone GC Mid Size Iron is just slightly smaller than the oversize model. It features the same technology as the oversize with its Gravity Chamber technology and keeps the same basic look. The main feature is that this club has a slightly narrower sole the better player likes. These irons were a little more workable and flew just a little shorter than the over size model, but the ability to shape the ball left and right made up for the few yards in distance loss. They come stock with Nippon Steel Shafts, a great, lightweight shaft that has hit the market only a few years ago. While the head is made of 431 stainless steel, it feels great when being struck and not a harsh, hard feel like your typically stainless steel heads.

This set was very fun to play around with. I could hit the ball almost anywhere on the face and get a decent shot out of it. I was able to work it both directions, but what surprised me for a "game improvement" club was the fact that I could get the ball under the wind when needed. I could not do this with the Over Size model due to the wider sole and lower center of gravity. The better player on a budget will appreciate this set and its versatility. The average player will appreciate the look of this club as it is not too bulky when set down at address.

I think that most 9+ handicap players should give these a try if they are looking for a new set. They look good, feel good, are very durable, and can be worked any way the player wants it to go! How can you go wrong with that at under $550 a set!?!
