Why not let a customer speak for these irons: "I purchased the Synchron Synergy irons a couple of months ago. I swung a set of Adams Idea irons at a local golf shop and was impressed with the way I hit them. The Synchron Synergy irons exceeded my expectations. The first round that I used them, I immediately felt the solidness and control difference from my previous set. I went from never using my 3 & 4 iron to never using my 3 and 5 wood. I have had two friends who used them and one has since purchased the Pinemeadow Matrix and the other purchased the Power Play Select 5000. I will definately be a return customer."

Short Putts:
On short putts you need to make sure you do not take a lot of time to think about it. I suggest you look at the line, step up to the ball and hit it as soon as you are settled. Tension is the reason for most putts inside four feet to be missed, and tension is caused by standing over the ball too long.
You will find that if you are pulling short putts, it is probably because you are too quick coming through and your top hand turns over too much. If you are pushing, it is probably because you are decelerating and tentative. Try to make a short but equal stroke with the same speed going back and through.
I would also encourage you to stand with your feet quite close together (if it is not too windy), and keep your elbows tucked to your body. This will help you keep your swing on line.
