“Old” set of “cheap” irons? Um, aren’t the JPX 923 still the current models? Maybe second hand they’re a bit cheaper, but it’s not like you’re playing 1970s blades.
I played my ping eye 2 irons yesterday. 40 year + technology and still good enough to use, I also rocked my ping g10 driver. All those clubs cost less than £100
Yeah, I finally upgraded my 35 year old irons that had very little grooves left. I like working on stuff and I knew what I wanted. Something forged, bendable, so adjustments are easier. Got on ebay and found a set of older Mizuno MP54 iron heads only, 4-PW. When I received them I was blown away as they looked brand new. Paired them up with Recoil shafts and have been a happy camper ever since. I think pretty much any clubs in the latter modern age will play just fine. These Mizuno irons will take me into the afterlife. Also got new woods. Ebay for the win again. Found 5-3-driver Callaway Epic Flash, again older model but got them from the Callaway used store. These also looked like they were never hit and came in shrink plastic. Very nice clubs.
love this video. I"ve had my mizuno jpx825 for12 years and was thinking of upgrading to the jpx 923 hot metal. oh and by the way i saw last weekend during the memorial that jack kept the same 3 wood for 30 years!!!
Got some i525 for 1K flat and it’s been a great improvement on my 30 something year old clubs. Couldn’t be happier and maybe I’ll keep them another 30 years.
Talk about grooves loosing zip … I play with an old feller that hits a hogan sw that he’s had for 64 years … it’s SLICK !!! Not one line left on this club and the bottom is flat almost sharp … he never misses a green NEVER 😂
I use cast clubs for the durability! If it’s good enough for Vokey wedges, it’s more than good enough for my game! Plus I buy a model that is easier to hit than I could play.
The numbers may change but the clubs ? If you learn to play a set of irons well or even driver/ woods then why would you get a new set that are different and go through the whole process again . Like did tiger ever really change his irons or did they make a set the same but different looking ? I believe his irons never changed from his junior years .
Titleist zm-b for me, beautiful condition for a set of 80's blades. Winter set srixon pro100 irons or Hogan redlines depending on the type of course getting played.
I bought a set of 2008 Mizuno MP67s from a used shop in japan. Came with new grips, amazing condition, grooves in good shape for only a couple hundred bucks. They dont go far and they're not the most forgiving but its helping me hit the center more to avoid hand pain.
I love my MP18 MMC. I tried other recent models but didn’t see a major difference. My favorite club is my 9 iron to 150 and my S18’s wedges. But send me those JPX 923 to try and give you my opinion for your channel from a high handicap er. Let’s party.
Just got fitted for new irons 2 months ago. Came down to the forged 923 and the p790. I did go with the 790s, but those 923 forged were awesome clubs. If I wasn’t so used to having TaylorMade over the last 20 years, I probably would have went with those.
Irons Speed Blades, a gift. Putter Chipper free table, though I regripped them. A Driver 910 D2, re-shafted and not adjustable. 3 wood 917 T, and a 3 Hybrid also 910 D2. an RT 2 5 Hybrid. Ancient stuff really. And a 52 Vokey 7 and 56 Cleveland cb, a gift. I am a really cheap guy as golf is so expensive, relatively speaking. So, I suppose I am an exception though I do need a new driver, but I don't even think about replacing my clubs. I do enjoy your shows. Thanks. I'm an 11 if that matters, though people say I'm a legend, and a sandbagger, since I win so much money. I have a great short game.
I hit Taylor made Rac Lt’s from the early 2000’s. Bought them from an Op shop (thrift store) store for $20. Just haven’t found anything I hit any better, new or old. New grips and they are like brand new.
I played my previous Ping irons for 5 years. I got new Srixon irons last season, and I absolutely love them and plan on playing them longer. Tempted to buy a second set... just in case. ;)
You are absolutely right. I hate getting new clubs because they are always different. Anytime you change. Clubs you will get worse and then end up the same. The clubs will never make you a better golfer. Practice is the only thing that will make you better but no one wants to practice. I love to practice more than I play because that's what it takes to get better. When I buy a new set of irons I will try to send them my current 5 iron and tell them to duplicate it. I currently still play my 712 MB's from Titleist. When I got those irons from Titleist I sent them my current 5 iron and talked to Team Titleist. I told the guy that I needed the lofts, lies, swingweight, and length to be exactly to my spec. The Team Titleist rep said he would have my clubs sent to him to check them before he shipped them to me. He contacted me and said that two of the irons were off a little bit and sent them back to be rebuilt. Then, when I received them they were perfect and an exact match to my previous set. and I'm not a pro. That's why I play Titleist. Also Titleist can get you any driver shaft that still exists no matter how old. The manufactures still have or make a lot of old shafts, so if it exists, they can get it even if it's not listed as a custom option on their site.
Here's a thought, brand new stock has to be discounted, because it's been replaced, by a new model. Independent pro shops must clear this stock out and lose profit.
It is the manufacturers who advertise this/these clubs will improve your golf and umpteen golfers fall into this trap always wanting to get either extra distance or consistency. When in effect practice or lessons would be more in keeping. The number of people who change drivers or irons when in effect it is their swing that is holding them back. I have had the same Srixon irons for 6 years now and wouldn’t change them for the world.
How can those be considered old clubs..?? The JPX23 stands for 2023 and those look like a customer return set, they are essentially brand new. Talk about out of touch. Really this just feels more like a Mizuno ad trying not to seem like an ad.
I am playing Wilson Staff Di7 irons since 2008, really like them I took a few years off and now only play about 10 rds a year. I switched out my driver, 3w, hybrids and putter.
I just replaced my whole bag. I bought a set of ping s55 irons, g30 driver g425 7 wood sm 8 and 9. My only new club was rtx 6 58degree and scotty newport 2+.. Love em, all of em
I recently ‘retired’ my Wilson Deep Red Fat Shafts that I have had since 2002, and that was only because the 8 iron head came loose at the driving range!! I’m now playing a set of Cobra LTDx irons which are obviously both far more advanced technically and forgiving. Hopefully, I’ll be very happy with the Cobras for many years to come, as I can’t imagine golf club technology changing that much for me to justify changing clubs every few years.
Still rocking the 9 piece Strata starter bag (6-PW, 1,3w,5h, putt) from 2018. Picked up Ram wedges(52,56,60) in 2019. Total bargains. We are learning together, an incredible enjoyable journey so far-and we still got unfinished business.
I have that 3 wood you mentioned in the video in my bag currently! I love the thing! its the 2014 Taylormade Aero Burner 3 wood and it performs really well for what I need it to do
Good marketing will have you buying a set every year so you can play better. I play my 2006 King Cobra 3100 I/H. In 2013 I bought Taylormade RocketBladez. After one season of the RocketBladez I sold them. Dispersion was horrible. 2024 I still play my King Cobras.
Still have my RocketBladez in my out Garage ,along with my Gigga Golf Blades and Callaway X pro’s ,King Cobra forged Tech which are great Irons !!sold My Mizuno hot metal’s Gameing Takomo’s
Jpx 923 forged midlife crisis purchase? Time will tell for me, gorged irons, beauty’s but a faff to look after - again only time will tell. Second hand might be affordable.😢
Another thing. A lot of tour players play different woods than their club sponsor but use the sponsors headcover. It's almost impossible to tell what they are really using on TV. It's all smoke and mirrors.
*This is the truth right? Why do we change when they don’t?*
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Because we don't have the perfect skills and aren't willing to believe practice will fix more than new clubs.
Because I like buying new stuff. LOL

I bought my jpx 923 tours for $600, not super cheap but reasonable

In the past there wasn’t so much marketing and change. Clubs stayed the same
Got some i525 for 1K flat and it’s been a great improvement on my 30 something year old clubs. Couldn’t be happier and maybe I’ll keep them another 30 years.
Talk about grooves loosing zip … I play with an old feller that hits a hogan sw that he’s had for 64 years … it’s SLICK !!! Not one line left on this club and the bottom is flat almost sharp … he never misses a green NEVER 😂
I got mine refurbished, £25 a club and they look brand new. Grooves redone too! 14 year old irons and no reason to change right now.
I use cast clubs for the durability! If it’s good enough for Vokey wedges, it’s more than good enough for my game! Plus I buy a model that is easier to hit than I could play.

I work in a New/Used golf store and change my irons once or twice a week lol just can't help myself !!!
The last set I bought the owner of the shop said for the average golfer ten years would be the minimum they should last .
Titleist zm-b for me, beautiful condition for a set of 80's blades.
Winter set srixon pro100 irons or Hogan redlines depending on the type of course getting played.
Nice video. Good points made. Honestly I have a 30 year old club I pull out when I am playing badly because I think muscle memory fixes a lot.
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the video 👌🏼👌🏼
How much were those? They aren’t even very old.
I bought a set of 2008 Mizuno MP67s from a used shop in japan. Came with new grips, amazing condition, grooves in good shape for only a couple hundred bucks. They dont go far and they're not the most forgiving but its helping me hit the center more to avoid hand pain.
I bought my King Cobra's in 1995...I just need new shafts cause I'm old now.
You should get them re shafted!!!

Been playing my Nike victory red blades since 2009. Like smashing a mushroom when struck nicely...

These are old clubs and it’s certainly not an ad:)
@@HowGoodGolf How on earth can you call clubs released a bit more than a year ago old? Out of touch indeed...

Bought my G400’s new! May get new after this season, likely to be G430 or i530’s.

Not enough changes year on year for amateurs to justify buying new clubs every year.
I bought 2nd hand 760's absolutely love them
A set of irons is just a loft game.
Never buy new

Stop paying for overpriced clubs that do not help you average golfers! These companies laugh all the way to the bank!
