612.0. "Opinions on PowerBilt TPS irons?" by BIRKA::LITBY (...and he built a Crooked House) Thu May 18 1989 06:44

I finally seem to have decided to replace my old PowerBilt Momentum irons.
I have been looking at the fairly new TPS irons from the same manufacturer,and
I've also hit some test shots with a few of the clubs (taped-up of course). Now
I'd like to know if any of you golfers out there are using these clubs, and
what you think of them.

Also, what can I expect to pay for the nine irons in the U.S? I'm planning to
either buy them there myself or send a shopping list with a friend - they are
about $600 here in Sweden which is a bit on the expensive side.

612.1TPS ARE GOOD IRONSCGOFS::D_SWITZERThu May 18 1989 15:4312
    I LIKE TPS IRONS VERY MUCH. I BOUGHT A SET OF THE IRONS LAST YEAR.
    I FIND ALL THE CLUBS FAIRLY EASY TO HIT, RIGHT FROM THE 2 IRON TO
    SAND WEDGE. THE LOFTS ON THE CLUBS SEEM A LITTLE STRONG AND I AM
    USING 1 CLUB LESS THAN I USE TO WITH FORGED IRONS.
    EVEN THOUGH THE PRICE IS A LITTLE STEEP($600.00 CANADIAN AS WELL)
    I THINK THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY.

re: .0 

Mr. Litby,

	I called the new Nevada Bob's in Nashua, a local discount golf
store.  They don't currently stock the TPS, but said they will special
order it.  I asked for a ballpark price and they said $350-400.  If you 
buy in New Hampshire you will avoid the 5% Massachusetts sales tax.
