Absolutely! It feels like Tommy Armour has respected its heritage while still pushing the envelope on performance. Have you noticed any difference in comfort over long rounds?
Yes! They are comfortable even after 18 holes. The vibration dampening technology really works, which I value as a player with some joint issues.
I’ve read some critiques about their performance in windy conditions. Has anyone tested them in that scenario? I tend to play on very windy courses.
I’ve played in the wind a few times with them. They held up decently, but you really need to adjust your aim due to the offset. It’s more about technique.
It’s funny! I thought I was bad at adjusting in the wind until I switched to these irons. I guess they make me look better than I actually am!
Haha! That’s the magic of good equipment. But seriously, how do these clubs fare with forgiveness on off-center hits?
That’s good to hear! For someone still honing their skills, that’s a major plus. Have you had any issues with the durability of the finish?
I find the forgiveness factor quite impressive. Even when I don’t hit perfectly, they still provide decent results. It gives you the freedom to be a little less precise.
So far, they’ve held up nicely. The finish has resisted scuffs better than some of my older clubs. I’m really impressed with the build quality overall.
I’ve been using the Tommy Armour 845 Max irons for a few months now, and I love the feel. They really compete well against my previous set of Callaway irons! The forgiveness is impressive too.
That’s great to hear! I’ve heard that the 845 Max performs well on mishits. Have you noticed any significant difference in distance compared to the Callaway set?

Absolutely! The distance seems to be comparable, but the 845 Max gives me more confidence on those off-center hits. I’ve tried TaylorMade as well, but I prefer the feel of the Tommy Armour.

That makes sense! I think user preference plays a huge role in choosing iron sets. Is the price for the 845 Max competitive with those TaylorMade options?
Yes, the 845 Max is quite reasonably priced compared to higher-end sets from brands like Ping and TaylorMade. You get a solid quality without breaking the bank!
Good to know! Can you guys share how you feel about the aesthetics of the 845 Max? Some brands are just sleeker than others.
The look of the 845 Max is pretty classic and appealing. I find them visually less aggressive compared to some of the more flashy models out there, which I appreciate! Keeps it simple.
Right? Sometimes less is more! Have you felt any noticeable difference in shot dispersion compared to other sets you have tried?
For sure! I’ve found my shot dispersion has improved. They feel like they allow for more control without sacrificing distance, unlike my previous Srixon irons.
That’s interesting! Srixon is usually known for solid control. Would you say the Tommy Armour irons are more forgiving overall?
Definitely! You can feel the difference in the weight distribution. They are definitely more forgiving on mishits, which I think is a must for mid-handicappers like me!
