Bought the 5 thru 10 and fell in love. Dropped 5 strokes with practice and use. Ball gets up effortlessly and lands soft. The 10h works like a charm in sand and around greens out to 60yds. I think that if more people tried these, they would do like me and take the Callaway Fusions out of their bag. I now have the full LH set and a driver. Golf is a much easier game since I added these with the DT lite stiff shafts and Winn DSI grips. Make some for my kids will ya.

I just got the 4 & 6 to go with my 25 degree Rescue. Love these heads. I'm hitting greens from 180 to 200 yards with very little effort. Easy to get up in the air and land soft. My 3 and 4 irons are out of the bag, never to return. I'll probably continue to add the higher lofted Airlifts one by one until the only irons left in the bag are wedges.

I purchased a complete set (3-10) of the Airlift Hi-Rise Hybrids several months ago. Being a lefty makes it really difficult to find a full matched set of hybrids, let alone a set you trust. I am absolutely overjoyed with these clubs. The balance and consistency are amazing. I have owned several "brand name" sets of irons that don't perform anywhere near as consistently as these clubs. My distance and accuracy have improved a great deal. I am now so much more confident in using the 7-10 for various types of shots whether they are mid range, pitches, or chips. What a joy to get on the course and know that I can be successful and let the clubs do most of the work for me. Easily a 5 out of 5!!

I purchased the 3-10 airlift hybrids and have been using them for about a year now. As goofy as this may sound, I bought them because I’ve had a problem with the shanks for a number of years and I wanted to build some clubs with as small a hozzle area as possible. The bottomline is…the shanks are gone and my scores are coming down. Without the worry of shanking the next shot, my confidence has increased and I seem to be hitting the ball on the center of the club face much more often. I would highly recommend these clubs to anyone that is suffering from the shanks.

They are long hitters. Good out of reasonable rough. Well-priced. I purchased the 3-6 Airlifts hybrids ( = to 2-5 irons loft-wise) and used high quality name-brand graphite shafts. Built to iron length, as these heads have iron-like lie angles. I'm a bit of a fader/slicer on longer irons, so the 3 and 4 are better for straight shooters. The 5 and 6 were fine, able to work a draw or fade. I eventually re-made the Airlifts for my mother-in-law, a very straight shooter, and they all work for her. I then got the offset Turner Ablaze for myself and those are perfect for me. My straight-shooting buddy (golfing 30 yrs, vs my 3) LOVED the Airlift 3 and 4 when he tried them. The Airlifts are sturdy, too, the way they are painted only on the top. If you shoot your 3 wood and long irons straight, you'll love these.

I have purchased the 3,4,5, and sometime later, the 6, to fill a loft gap. Both I, and friends who tried them liked the Airlift's ability to be hit well by average players. I purchased them primarily because their lie is so close to my iron requirements, i.e., more upright than typical hybrids, and made them to equivalent iron lengths. The 3-Airlift to a 2 iron length, etc. The 8 gram increments mean the weights are lighter for the long hybrids, if compared to the same number iron. The lofts are 3-4 deg. stronger than the equivalent iron, therefore people are pleased with the distance. After I realized these are weighted and lofted as though one iron longer than their respective numbers (i.e. the #3 is really a 2 iron, but hit-able, the 4 a 3iron, the 5, a 4 iron, etc), I re-assessed my loft gaps and took out the 6 Airlift after I decided to increase my loft gaps so as to have room for more wedges and a chipper.. A 17.5* 3 iron is not a 3 iron, it's a 2 iron. Except they are hit-able for the average player. Stronger lofts has been a trend for years, but it's essentially a marketing trick, usually making the long irons and drivers harder to hit. In the case of the AirLifts, the long hybrids, cut to iron lengths, work very well. With the caveat that the buyer understand WHY they seem to hit so long, and that the loft gaps in a combined AirLift-regular iron set must be carefully considered, I'd recommend these (and the Turner hybrids) to anyone. ...

I purchsed this club about a month ago and finally got it out on the course. I purchased the 21 degree club and can hit it straighter and longer that any 4 iron I have ever hit. I average about 180-190 with this club which is a great improvement for me. I will soon be purchasing the 17.5 degree and putting to rest forever my 3 and 4 irons. Thanks DTG.

I had tried the 3 and 4 hybrids a year or so ago and had worked through some iron sets I bought and some I built,and I decided to try the more lofted lefty versions when they became available. I loe these clubs. I put the 8-9-10 heads on a stiff steel shaft and the 7-6-5-4-3 on hybrid graphite shafts and I can hit greens with accuracy and feel like I don't have to try to kill the ball. A smooth swing makes the ball rocket! I love being able to adjust lengths and stifnesses in my clubs and I cannot wait for the season to begin anew so I can strart drilling greens. How about a lefty 2 please?

I purchased this club in 17.5 degrees with the Graphite sedign YS 11 Hybrid shaft R flex, which is a great deal at $18.00! This is my go to club off the tee if the hole is under 370 yards. It goes about 220 yds and the flight is piercing. I really enjoy this club from the fairway as well because of it's low profile face. I no longer carry a 3 or 4 iron and would highly recommend this club! The quality is awesome and what a great price! Thanks Diamondtour!
