Fish - I reviewed them last year, but the full review hasn't been published yet. Here are some "excerpts" from my review:

 

Aesthetics They have a very nice angular, rugged design, with sharply machined edges, contrasted by a flowing sole design and topline. These irons appear a slightly bit thicker than traditional "blade" type irons, but are nowhere near as bulky and thick as some game improvement clubs. I would classify the overall heel-toe length as "midsized", not too small - not too large.

 

There is a very visible cavity on either side of the square section, seemingly to remove weight from the sole area, to redistribute weight further back and lower in the clubhead, as well as yielding a larger sweetspot. Setup appears very comfortable - even with the slightly thicker topline, they appear very conventional at setup, with moderate offset. This is one very fine, fine looking iron. I was very surprised that it is labeled as a "hybrid", as it appears like a regular iron to me.

 

Performance

These irons resonate with a very soft "Click" at impact, with a supremely soft and light feel. They are very light and easily controllable to swing. Mis-hits are almost not felt whatsoever - they are immeasurably forgiving, perhaps more so than most any other iron I've ever tried. I tested the club from several bad lies, as well as full shots out of sand bunkers, and the performance seemed very acceptable.

 

One thing I did notice about these irons is that they are very sensitive to your swingpath. What I mean by this is - if you have a steeper downswing, you will get higher, softer shots. If you swing with a rounder, flatter swing - you will get piercing, lower trajectories. I found that I could easily vary my trajectories by altering my swing. This is one of the first irons I've ever tested that I noticed this.

 

Conclusion

The Exotics irons are definitely a well engineered, beautiful set of irons, suitable for most any handicap player. They hit very straight, are controllable, and forgiving enough for even a beginner. The most noticeable item was the VERY lightweight shaft, and light feeling of the club. Someone used to a heavier swingweight may want to re-shaft them.
