Great Value Player’s Irons
December 5, 2025
I ordered the Snake Eyes Forged set uncut & without grips, then finished them out myself. In the sweet spot these irons feel absolutely great. On the toe or a little thin feels fine, but there is a little distance loss. Catch one very thin and you’ll notice, especially in the cold. But I would note that these are more forgiving than typical forged blades. I hit my irons far, but am 1 to 1-1/2 clubs shorter with this set, which works out for me. I’m also getting more spin than I have with my last couple big brand sets. I’ve seen online reviews that knock the aesthetics, particularly in the cavity, but they look good to me given the price point. These also come in a quality KBS shaft. I wouldn’t recommend these for anyone above a single digit handicap (go with the 685X or OS). But if you’re a single digit player looking for a great value forged iron set, Snake Eyes & RBG have got your back.
I’d love to know how these would play with graphite shafts. My guess is absolutely wonderful.
Pros
- Soft feel.
- Good aesthetics.
- Workability.
- More traditional lofts.
- Nice spin.
- Quality shafts.
Cons
- A badly thin mishit will sting the hands.
- Will ding up easier (I got iron covers).
