If your 8 handicap is the result of a pretty solid iron game, then the X-blade is for you. If you don't want to expereince too much change in the weight of your shafts, go with the NS-Pro 950. If you are a stronger man than most, then go with the DG S200.
The TS-202 (of which I own a set) offers little feedback and feel for me, although I like the forgiveness in the long irons, which may shave off 2-3 strokes at longer courses when you are required to hit 4- and 5-irons into the green. I am actually thinking about selling mine...
like me, I am thinking to change my irons. What is good for man who has been played for more than 15 years and now only plays once a week, no driving range and Handicap 8. Tourstage 202 or x blade? thx
