At least on this site, Nike irons and wedges get all the attention they deserve, IMO

WITB
Taylormade SIM2 10.5* Ventus Black 6X
Taylormade SIM 19* AD-DI 7X

Taylormade Stealth 3h Ventus Blue 9X
Mizuno MP-69 4-PW Modus 120 S

> "Game Improvement" irons..... When there started to be big money for OEMS to make with clubs somehow we as consumers drank the Kool Aid and feel the way to a better game is to buy "game improvement" clubs versus working on our swing and fitness. These clubs should be called "distance improvement" irons instead.

Anything that one would call a 'thingie' doesn't deserve to be rated one way or another!

Overrated: Cameron putters -- and I've used one religiously before -- they just don't change much from year to year and I believe a high end milled putter is a high end milled putter

 

Underrated: Fresh grips on clubs-- a fresh set of grips can make your clubs feel new and easier to hit

Being snotty about loving practice and old gear/ getting new gear because you also find enjoyment out of golf equipment (on a golf equipment website)
