Wood Brothers (if I understand correctly) are only available custom made. They've got some above-average forged wedges, but I've never even seen an iron set by them.

proshopwarehouse is that we're your looking. I hear good things about them. I have hit a mates set, I built them for him. Cost like $120 for the heads, shafts and grips from that site.

They felt great, esp for that price. Go ahead you know you want them, but personally I preferred my own set of Purefits

Re: Ever hear of these irons?

This thread wasn't that old so I thought I'd fill in some info because I came across some Wood Bros irons and drivers.

"Charlie and Dave Wood ran their own successful golf club manufacturing business, Wood Brothers Golf, in Houston during the 1980s.
By 1984, a Wood Brothers’ club played in the Masters. Two years later, in 1986, they won the PGA championship. In 10 years, Wood Brothers’ clubs won five major championships and more than 100 PGA tournaments, more than anyone else during that time. “We were never a big company, and we had a simple philosophy,” Charlie Wood says, “To make the very best golf club on the planet and get it in the hands of the very best players. After they win, tell everybody all about it. Then you’d better be able to supply and have cohesiveness. Everybody’s got to be willing to work together and stay on the same page. It’s quality first, last, and everything.”

All of the Wood Brothers’ clubs are cold forged, not cast, and are never filled with lead. Casting and the use of lead are standard practices in the industry, but based on the Wood brothers’ experience, not necessary. “One of the things at Wood Brothers was we would not use lead,” Wood explains. “It is standard in the golf industry that if a club does not make a certain swing rate, to shoot some lead or leaded epoxy into the shaft and all the way down into the head. Lead is a heavy material, but also a dead material; it doesn’t transmit vibration, or feel. So no matter where on the head you hit the ball, it still transmits the same vibration because it’s dead. So we had a mandate that we would not make golf clubs using lead, and that’s something that is not done in the golf industry.”"

I believe one or or both of these innovative brothers are now designing products at MacGregor Golf.
