Wishon quality is top notch, but I don't know if he has an iron with the
specific design traits you are looking for.  The 752TC, 939 and 991 irons
all have 5-5.5mm offset in the 3-iron versus 4mm in the Snake Eyes Viper
Tour you currently have.  The 550C only has 3.5mm in the 3-iron, but that is
a forged head, so you are looking at close to $30/head. I play the 752TC,
which is a great head if you want forgiveness and help getting a higher ball
flight, but it does have a fairly thick topline and noticeable offset.  I
recommend that you look at Golfworks, as they might have something with the
specs you want, and I think they have distributors in Canada.  Golfworks
quality is comparable to or better than Golfsmith.  Just checked the
Golfworks site, and they do have a Canadian distributor.  Looks like the
head that best fits your description is the M45 progressive cavity back.
It's form forged, has 0.1" (2.54mm) constant offset, but it costs
$22.95/head.  The good news is that if you order 3-PW, you get a free
Golfworks staff bag.  DOn't know if having a Canadian distributor will save
you enough to pay ~$10 more for these heads than a cast cavity back from a
different supplier.  Also check out the Purefit irons at
www.myostrichgolf.com or some of the Integra or Tech Power irons at
www.lowprogolf.com, as I know that both of these guys routinely ship to
Canada.  If you are FGI golf forum (www.freegolfinfo.com) member, you even
get a special discount, and joining FGI is free.  Good luck.

Subject: ShopTalk: New irons


Hello everyone,
I'm going through the process again of making myself new irons. I've 
only used Golfsmith and Dynacraft in the past, because I seem to like 
there quality. Has anyone had any issues with Acer or the Oxygen brand 
names. I was always under the impression that these companies were 
clones more than quality clubs. Am I incorrect? I hear that Tom Wishon 
clubs are very high quality but they are a little more priced and being 
from Canada, I have heard that the shipping has become a bit of an 
expense..getting the supplies across the border and all. I really would 
like forgiving cavity with a little LESS offset. My handicap is about 8. 
I made the new Snake eyes tour viper 5 iron. I really like the look at 
setup but the feel is not that great actually. Currently it's in a TT XL 
R flex. Any suggestions will be very helpful
Thanks,
Alan
