Bought a set of the previous Cleveland Launcher HB - new but leftover stock. I've always played bladed cavity backs, but I fell in love with these from the first time I hit them.
I purchased a set of Cleveland Launcher HBs a few months ago, largely on Mark's recommendations. I'm a 63-year old, 12-handicap with limited flexibility from back issues. I really thought the day I'd have to give up the game might be near. The Launchers have literally been life-changing for me. Just put the club face squarely on the ball and it will fly long, high, and straight. They make golf fun again. I shot a 79 last week, and an 81 today. Just what the doctor ordered.
Just re watching this and the reason you discounted the Cleveland is the reason i, being a higher handycap, would actually choose it - confidence inspiring. And this whole traditional loft thing is irrelevant to higher handycapers or new golfers cause we dont look at the 7 iron and think it's a 5 we just accept it's a 7 iron. Thoughts, ideas and preconceptions are so interesting
more of these videos please. love the discussion. I went for Callaway apex combos, little more help on the 5-7 and nice 8-pw. think more should do combo
Another excellent review I think you nailed it when you said that you are a sweeper which makes the HB turbo great for you and coach likes to go down on the ball which the Srixon Z585 he would of fell in love with! (Dual sole)
Ping for me, I actually play the G700's after i went for a fitting 2 years ago, had my heart set on AP 1's but after hitting 7 or 8 different 7 irons fell in love with the pings and gave me most consistent results
I tested 4 iron sets in my fitting. Ping, Taylormade, Titleist and Callaway. Varying prices but the Callaway Rogue iron just felt right for me. Well worth having a fitting as i could have just gone on looks and name, but having hit balls for an hour or so i found the right club for me.
Been on the launchers for 3 months and knocked off 6 shots off my handicap. Fast forwarded to lockeys shot with launcher... couldn't wait, actually couldn't be bothered with the rest of the irons.
Excellent video, to the point and frank discussion about things that matter to higher handicappers (which are the ones shopping for these clubs). I currently use the Taylormade P790's with limited success, starting today I'm shopping for a set of Pings, looking at the G700's and the G710's. Great video gents and thanks!
Mark, I love that you're not afraid to give your opinion. I definitely dont always agree with you, but I appreciate that you dont shy away from saying what you actually think. I also 100% agree with you that Ping and Titleist are regularly the companies to beat in terms of performance. Marketing... we all know which companies are "winning" that game...
I game the cobras when I went for my fitting I tried them against the t300 and sims and even though the cobras had the lowest lofts still found them the easiest to get in the air. Another plus for the cobras is they have arccos as standard which at £599 for 6 clubs has to go down as a bargain 👍
Very timely.... Ping G710 formally for purchase tomorrow 2/20 in the States. Nicely done..... thought you would have the Mavrik STD but then again lofts as crazy as the Epic forged.... Cheers guys!
Mark, I’m using the Cleveland HB turbo 5 and 6 as my hybrids and I kept my irons 7-PW. So I guess am the second person in the world using HB turbo as a combo set
I have a ping g20 in 20°, essentially my 4iron. Love it. My favourite club. The cleveland turbo reminds me my g20 in looks and purpose. You used to bag the g20 Mark, does the turbo launcher remind you of how that played?
Geez fellas have any of these clubs ever been cleaned🙀as a senior loving my Epics just need to play for a little rollout on the green. But the are super forgiving and 7 on down lol superb. Cheers from NorCal
I think out of those i would prefer t300 for lofts and im not keen on really hot faces. My new set of irons is 31 degree 7 iron which is probably my limit
I wouldn't pick the Ping, after 4 or 5 rounds they would be very scruffy with that finish, tests elsewhere shows that. I'd pick the Titleist, classic design easy to hit
24 degrees is the loft of a "traditional" 4 Iron, as WAS the loft of all of my 4 Iron replacement hybrids, until the lofts of the hybrids seem to be getting a bit "jacked" as well.
The only ones of this selection I've demoed and hit and got measured for are the T300 ... and it was love at first swipe of the arms. Once the savings fund gets up to enough to afford the 5 to GW set they'll be moving my old mizzys out of the bag pronto. Given the other alternatives were coming in around roughly the same price I didn't even test them but having watched this I may do just out of curiosity now, cheers for yet another excellent and entertaining vid 😄
With regard to the modern game improvement irons, before deciding at what point you will transition to a hybrid I suggest the golfer try the longer irons. I game a semi-aggressive iron set and found that I can hit the 3 iron lofted at 18 degrees very well. It is essentially an utility iron. Very forgiving. Prior to this set, I would not have even considered a iron lofted below 24 degrees. My only hybrid now is a 2 hybrid.
I love how much these more forgiving, game improvement irons tightened up his dispersion. LOL I guess face to path isn't one of the things these irons are good at improving.
Very interesting insights lads. Can't believe how more expensive the epics are! Interesting how coach picked the ping out in the end based on loft of 7 at 29.5, when surely if the titleist 6 is 26 then their 7 would be maybe 29????. Anyway, another good vid guys. Keep the info coming.👍🏼
Mark I just had a fitting yesterday and I’m going with the Cleveland UHX launcher irons. Numbers seemed to come up great for me and they were about £300 than most of the others! Now I’m on the Cleveland/Srixon train! Keep up the great videos I love them.
Great informative video I actually really like the look of the ping and considering how much coach likes them too I think I'll save up a little more cash for them. Coupled with new vokey wedges. Let's see hybrids and fairway woods now along same test lines please . And maybe when weather better let's see real world test of "best of the bunch"
I'd love to see some Direct to Consumer (Snell, Vice, etc.) golf balls up against the big boys to maybe spread some awareness. Thanks for what you do, Mark and Coach!
Well done for persuading coach to take his Callaway hat off at least temporarily 👍 For me it’s a toss up between the ping & Titleist but the Titleist gets it. I think the finish on the ping would scratch too easily and it annoys me that the arccos sensor is only a 90 day trial which requires an annual subscription.
Amazing how much thinner the top line looks on the ping, especially if just down to colour. I wonder how well they would age? All the focus was on lenght but the dispersion was pretty shocking across the board, not a good day for coach. How exactly does the turbo work in the Cleveland?
I am looking for new irons now and the lofts are very important. I love the gaping in my current clubs (wedges through woods) and don't want new irons to mess that up.
As a high handicapper I recently got a new game improvement set, Benross Delta Irons 5-SW with KBS Max Stiff steel shafts for £230. I did look at different sets but based on a combination of cost, performance and quality the other set that really stood out to me were the Wilson D7 irons £389 5-PW . However the money I saved vs sets like in this video, I'm going to spend on a few lessons.
Because of your review...I did purchase a full set of the Cleveland HB turbo irons. I am trying hybrids now to add to the bag (3/4 hybrid) to replace 4/5 irons. As you have stated, you must bring a certain level of skills to hit any club but HB Turbo clubs have greatly improved my game. I dont care much about looks provided I get the result I want (the result is more important than looks). I have finally broken 80- shot a 77. I tried several improvement clubs and had to choose between Ping and Cleveland HB. I chose the HB strictly because of performance eventhough the looks are not ideal. My swing is more of a sweeping motion vs a descending angle. Thanks for the review.
Matt’s dispersion with these irons are amazing!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m interested to know the distance between his most left shot and his most right shot. I’m guessing it’s almost 100 yards
Great video! I'm a golfer that doesn't want more distance or launch, but still want the "forgiveness" of this bracket of irons. I feel a bit stuck when considering new irons to purchase.
I like how this shows both sides to this conundrum. Coach being a good player trying to work out how to hit these "game improvement" irons seems to be the opposite of a bad player trying to work out hitting bladed irons. #GetFit peoples! Loving this fellas. Keep it up. And more new-clubs-on-the-course vids please. #MavrikandGoose #MuppetTour #TheRinksAndDinksShow
G'Day Mark & Coach, I still played Ping ISI-S... 2i to LW ( weaker lofts compared to today's irons )....I'm after the most forgiving iron,... if I want more distance, I just play an extra club....The ball doesn't know what club I'm hitting ...All Good Bruhs.....!
After trying a bunch of sets last weekend, I thought the Mizuno JPX 919 and Wilson D7 staff felt the best for me. I also game a Cleveland Launcher 6 iron.
New Subscriber! And I truly enjoyed the content. I did have a questions since I am in the market for an iron/hybrid game improvement combo set. After watching the video, and looking up some specs on the different makes and models, I have noticed an overlap with lofts between hybrids and irons. For example, If I were to purchase the Speedzones, their 6 Iron and 5 Hybrid both have 24 degrees of loft. Does that mean both clubs will go the same distance? If so, I would buy a set from P-7, 5H, 4H, 3H; correct?
Just picked up a full set of launchers. Really looking forward to putting them into play (left handed as well 😂) great video guys. Mark, as punishment for coach discounting the launcher, you need to make him play a full set for 18 holes😆
Would’ve liked to see the p790Ti in this group. I know they are tough to get, but even last year it’s no question. Ping dominates this market. I’ve sold many g410s and g700s and will definitely be selling more g710s again this year
Just bought the cobra speedzone irons which do have Arcos in as standard and offer a good selection of shafts at no upcharge and are fantastic just like the speedzone driver.Cobra has nailed the price plus performance in the last couple of years but unfortunately Too many people are brand snobs.
Fantastic video! Please can you do this same video but with at the different levels of "players" irons? I'd love to see how for example, Coach's Apex stacks up against the JPX900, the T100s, the P790 (or the insanely expensive P790 Ti), the i500/210, and the Srixon 785. Would be great if they were all the same club number, so then you can compare "like for like", and see the real difference between lofts. I know you've done the comparison with the pure blades already, but I'd like to see that next tier down, because I'm not buying pure blades.
Cleveland HB Turbo- I recently bought a used Taylor Made Rescue 19 degree and absolutely love it. The Cleveland HB Turbo look like they would suit my eye and the price is great.-Arnie Markowitz-Canada
I play m4 irons so the 5 iron loft is 21.5! and therefore I struggle it. I then also get a 20 yard gap between pw and 48degree cleveland cbx wedge which is also great.
I've a set of Power Bats with a 31* 7 iron 'Callaway XR Steelhead Pro's My other sets have 7's from 33*-36* I would choose the Epics from 7 - PW, on looks and being Forged only then wedges @ 45, 50, 55 and 60.
I would have to go Ping or Cleveland. Really based on I own Ping G700 irons and Cleveland wedges and their chipper currently and I just love them. Cleveland just makes good clubs for the average golfer who just likes to play golf and not worry about all the other fuss. And Ping, well they are Ping. Just overall solid in all things they do.
Hello Mark love all your videos.. I have a question for you on this subject. I’m a weekend hacker been as low as a 13 handicap.. since then I have survived a car crash and now have low back issues.. spondylitis in my SI, L5 junction.. so with that I’m trying to swing easy to stop the pain I get after I swing my normal type old swing.. my distance have dropped at least 1.5 clubs.. what would be some good clubs to look at to gain some distance back while swinging easier..thanks again..
Here I go again. I played my set of 120 dollar Cleveland HBores for about 6 years. I loved them. Then I got my Taylormade Speeeeeeeeeed Blades. Im in ancient mode, YES!!! I guess I liked my chunkies. I still switch them out and in as need would have it. One thing I did to the old HBores.... I sandblasted all of the paint off of them because they chipped the paint off each other while in the bag. I ended up clear coating them.
It'd be great to see a comparison video where you have a 34* 7i hitting a high spin ball vs a 28* 7i hitting a budget ball (Srixon soft feel?) to show how much the spin/distance differs. And then maybe switch the balls to see which makes the bigger difference.
Hey Mark, I know irons have offset of different degree's. Has there been a iron that has onset? I guess that would be face forward? I really like this kind of test you guy's are doing. Thanks. I don't remember if the CLeveland VAS was offset or not.
Do you play game improvement irons?
Mark Crossfield got a set of t300’s, brilliant iron, glad to see they performed well!
I learned to play with Maxfli blades from the 70’s. The MP-18 irons I play now are game improvement irons in comparison.
Bought a set of the previous Cleveland Launcher HB - new but leftover stock. I've always played bladed cavity backs, but I fell in love with these from the first time I hit them.
Mark Crossfield. No, I used to but my game improved. I purchased a set of Mizuno MP 18- MB last month. Don’t tell my wife because she would be p’d
Mark Crossfield I can’t believe you’re gaming those croquet mallets
I purchased a set of Cleveland Launcher HBs a few months ago, largely on Mark's recommendations. I'm a 63-year old, 12-handicap with limited flexibility from back issues.

Lovely to see Coach use the entire width of the range 😂😀😍
Seems Mavrik would have been more fair than Epic.
I'm buying Mavriks for Black Friday. So excited!
Great vid lads! 👏🏼 your reviews are still the best out there
Yes! Srixon Z585. Forgiving, long enough, great looking and a beautiful forged feel. Can’t ask for more really.
more of these videos please. love the discussion. I went for Callaway apex combos, little more help on the 5-7 and nice 8-pw. think more should do combo
Can you please add a “shank off the hosel” test to see how true each of these clubs fly? Much thanks.
He wasn't far off on some of those strikes .
A shank is off the hosel, that’s what it means.. noob!
Really enjoy watching Coach test. Great job
Another excellent review I think you nailed it when you said that you are a sweeper which makes the HB turbo great for you and coach likes to go down on the ball which the Srixon Z585 he would of fell in love with! (Dual sole)
Ping for me, I actually play the G700's after i went for a fitting 2 years ago, had my heart set on AP 1's but after hitting 7 or 8 different 7 irons fell in love with the pings and gave me most consistent results
much easier to read "the numbers" lately. thank you
The Ping totally. But will be sticking to the MP20-HMB’s for the next 5-7 years!
I tested 4 iron sets in my fitting. Ping, Taylormade, Titleist and Callaway. Varying prices but the Callaway Rogue iron just felt right for me. Well worth having a fitting as i could have just gone on looks and name, but having hit balls for an hour or so i found the right club for me.
i think you need to send those irons back, they don't go straight!
Been on the launchers for 3 months and knocked off 6 shots off my handicap. Fast forwarded to lockeys shot with launcher... couldn't wait, actually couldn't be bothered with the rest of the irons.
I agree.
Enjoying the way the channels going, miss gran Dan but Matts getting a chance to bring some new input 👍
Excellent video, to the point and frank discussion about things that matter to higher handicappers (which are the ones shopping for these clubs). I currently use the Taylormade P790's with limited success, starting today I'm shopping for a set of Pings, looking at the G700's and the G710's. Great video gents and thanks!
Mark I have just ordered the HB turbo 6 iron . I play the CBX and love them but struggle with the 6 Irons. You have been my inspiration. Thanks.
Love the G.I. as 4 & 5i Replacements only!! maybe a new video addressing that potential. Another great video as always !!!!!! Cheers.
Great review of 4 and 5 irons with the accuracy of a WW2 bombing raid....Awesome!
Mark, I love that you're not afraid to give your opinion. I definitely dont always agree with you, but I appreciate that you dont shy away from saying what you actually think. I also 100% agree with you that Ping and Titleist are regularly the companies to beat in terms of performance. Marketing... we all know which companies are "winning" that game...
My Fav Golf Guru! Please keep it up!
I've been playing Wilson Tour FG V6 👍🏾💯
I game the cobras when I went for my fitting I tried them against the t300 and sims and even though the cobras had the lowest lofts still found them the easiest to get in the air. Another plus for the cobras is they have arccos as standard which at £599 for 6 clubs has to go down as a bargain 👍
Great vid. You boys are getting to Clarkson/Hammond/May levels of chemistry on camera. Love it
Great video hopefully get fitted for new irons soon
Very timely.... Ping G710 formally for purchase tomorrow 2/20 in the States. Nicely done..... thought you would have the Mavrik STD but then again lofts as crazy as the Epic forged.... Cheers guys!
Love the muppets together doing club reviews they tick all the boxes thanks boyz
Mark, I’m using the Cleveland HB turbo 5 and 6 as my hybrids and I kept my irons 7-PW. So I guess am the second person in the world using HB turbo as a combo set
Great vid this, like the format with the loft specs, price etc. For such game improvement irons, Coach cant hit one straight!!!
I have a ping g20 in 20°, essentially my 4iron. Love it. My favourite club. The cleveland turbo reminds me my g20 in looks and purpose. You used to bag the g20 Mark, does the turbo launcher remind you of how that played?
Cobra for me !!!! Love everything about them 👍
Geez fellas have any of these clubs ever been cleaned🙀as a senior loving my Epics just need to play for a little rollout on the green.
But the are super forgiving and 7 on down lol superb. Cheers from NorCal
Hmm , I actually have a combo set of Cleveland’s. CBX 8-P, launcher hb 5-7.... I like it. Easiest long irons ever.
So the Cleveland is eliminated whatever happened to function over form?
I love the Ping. They look lovely. A bit steep on price but I currently have a set of the Mizuno hot metal pro. The feel....
I still game & love my Bridgestone J38DPC (7 iron 34") ... but I'm liking those T300's a lot.
I think out of those i would prefer t300 for lofts and im not keen on really hot faces. My new set of irons is 31 degree 7 iron which is probably my limit
I wouldn't pick the Ping, after 4 or 5 rounds they would be very scruffy with that finish, tests elsewhere shows that.
I'd pick the Titleist, classic design easy to hit
24 degrees is the loft of a "traditional" 4 Iron, as WAS the loft of all of my 4 Iron replacement hybrids, until the lofts of the hybrids seem to be getting a bit "jacked" as well.
The only ones of this selection I've demoed and hit and got measured for are the T300 ... and it was love at first swipe of the arms. Once the savings fund gets up to enough to afford the 5 to GW set they'll be moving my old mizzys out of the bag pronto. Given the other alternatives were coming in around roughly the same price I didn't even test them but having watched this I may do just out of curiosity now, cheers for yet another excellent and entertaining vid 😄
With regard to the modern game improvement irons, before deciding at what point you will transition to a hybrid I suggest the golfer try the longer irons.

Prior to this set, I would not have even considered a iron lofted below 24 degrees. My only hybrid now is a 2 hybrid.
Please do some videos with higher handicap, lower swing speed golfers...
I love how much these more forgiving, game improvement irons tightened up his dispersion. LOL I guess face to path isn't one of the things these irons are good at improving.
Whew that's one impressive grouping
I’ve purchased the Ping G710 with retro lofts.....7 iron is 31.8* loft.....hits the ball high, which is a bonus for me!
So close to 300k subs bruh. Please can we have an over the years funny moments or bloopers or something?
Matts dispersion is hilarious for a scratch golfer 😂
Not sure I'd want lessons from a guy who misses greens 40 yards left
Look forward to your experience with the very strong-lofted Titleist T400
Bought the Taylor Made clubs today. Anxious to get out on the course & see if they help my game.
I game a 7 iron t rail, use it as a 30 degree hybrid . Good work bruhs
Very interesting insights lads. Can't believe how more expensive the epics are! Interesting how coach picked the ping out in the end based on loft of 7 at 29.5, when surely if the titleist 6 is 26 then their 7 would be maybe 29????. Anyway, another good vid guys. Keep the info coming.👍🏼

Great informative video I actually really like the look of the ping and considering how much coach likes them too I think I'll save up a little more cash for them. Coupled with new vokey wedges. Let's see hybrids and fairway woods now along same test lines please . And maybe when weather better let's see real world test of "best of the bunch"
I'd love to see some Direct to Consumer (Snell, Vice, etc.) golf balls up against the big boys to maybe spread some awareness. Thanks for what you do, Mark and Coach!
Well done for persuading coach to take his Callaway hat off at least temporarily 👍
For me it’s a toss up between the ping & Titleist but the Titleist gets it.
I think the finish on the ping would scratch too easily and it annoys me that the arccos sensor is only a 90 day trial which requires an annual subscription.
what a difference there is comparing marks vs lockeys ball lines on the simulator. and coach „only“ hits irons... mark is really a robot 😂
Amazing how much thinner the top line looks on the ping, especially if just down to colour. I wonder how well they would age? All the focus was on lenght but the dispersion was pretty shocking across the board, not a good day for coach. How exactly does the turbo work in the Cleveland?
quite easy to DIY line up line. bought some acrylic paint and added to my mizuno.
I am looking for new irons now and the lofts are very important. I love the gaping in my current clubs (wedges through woods) and don't want new irons to mess that up.
I love this 6 iron, it made me want to hit my 5 iron! Classic muppet!
That screen of shot traces reminds me of those spirograph things I had as a kid!
As a high handicapper I recently got a new game improvement set, Benross Delta Irons 5-SW with KBS Max Stiff steel shafts for £230. I did look at different sets but based on a combination of cost, performance and quality the other set that really stood out to me were the Wilson D7 irons £389 5-PW . However the money I saved vs sets like in this video, I'm going to spend on a few lessons.
a very well balanced and fair appraisal of all the clubs, cost will be a major deciding factor for many golfers.
Because of your review...I did purchase a full set of the Cleveland HB turbo irons. I am trying hybrids now to add to the bag (3/4 hybrid) to replace 4/5 irons. As you have stated, you must bring a certain level of skills to hit any club but HB Turbo clubs have greatly improved my game.

Don’t worry coach, if I was the one testing out these irons my dispersion would be worse. I’m a proud member of the #lockeyarmy
I was going to say that you should of tested these clubs with a higher handicap player but I think the coach has done that job well...
Great video! I'm a golfer that doesn't want more distance or launch, but still want the "forgiveness" of this bracket of irons. I feel a bit stuck when considering new irons to purchase.
I like how this shows both sides to this conundrum.

Got fitted t300 last weekend. Tried also g410 and jpx hot metal. The mizunos did well too but titleist felt and performed best
After trying a bunch of sets last weekend, I thought the Mizuno JPX 919 and Wilson D7 staff felt the best for me. I also game a Cleveland Launcher 6 iron.
Have you done/ are you going to do a best mid handicapper iron and players iron/blade video too? Best awesome to see what you think!
New Subscriber! And I truly enjoyed the content.
I did have a questions since I am in the market for an iron/hybrid game improvement combo set. After watching the video, and looking up some specs on the different makes and models, I have noticed an overlap with lofts between hybrids and irons. For example, If I were to purchase the Speedzones, their 6 Iron and 5 Hybrid both have 24 degrees of loft. Does that mean both clubs will go the same distance? If so, I would buy a set from P-7, 5H, 4H, 3H; correct?
Not the only one mark,I game 5,6,7 in hb turbo and 8,9,pw,gw in cobra forged one length...
Just picked up a full set of launchers. Really looking forward to putting them into play (left handed as well 😂) great video guys. Mark, as punishment for coach discounting the launcher, you need to make him play a full set for 18 holes😆
I’m getting a full set of the Cleveland halo’s they are under the tree right now. 😊
Would’ve liked to see the p790Ti in this group. I know they are tough to get, but even last year it’s no question. Ping dominates this market. I’ve sold many g410s and g700s and will definitely be selling more g710s again this year
I’ve just bought the Callaway war bird set. Think they will be good
If those are Game Improvement clubs and Im fitting Coach, after those shots Im now digging through the Super Game Improvement bag
No 1. Ok I’ve done that as well now.
Just bought the cobra speedzone irons which do have Arcos in as standard and offer a good selection of shafts at no upcharge and are fantastic just like the speedzone driver.Cobra has nailed the price plus performance in the last couple of years but unfortunately Too many people are brand snobs.
Fantastic video! Please can you do this same video but with at the different levels of "players" irons? I'd love to see how for example, Coach's Apex stacks up against the JPX900, the T100s, the P790 (or the insanely expensive P790 Ti), the i500/210, and the Srixon 785. Would be great if they were all the same club number, so then you can compare "like for like", and see the real difference between lofts.
I know you've done the comparison with the pure blades already, but I'd like to see that next tier down, because I'm not buying pure blades.
Cleveland HB Turbo- I recently bought a used Taylor Made Rescue 19 degree and absolutely love it. The Cleveland HB Turbo look like they would suit my eye and the price is great.-Arnie Markowitz-Canada
nothing in there beats the ping G410 for my money, and its cheaper than the 710 (even new) and 7 iron is a strong but sensible 30 degrees.
Mark, what are your thoughts on 6 hole courses? The more I read about them the better they sound to me!
I play m4 irons so the 5 iron loft is 21.5! and therefore I struggle it. I then also get a 20 yard gap between pw and 48degree cleveland cbx wedge which is also great.
I've a set of Power Bats with a 31* 7 iron 'Callaway XR Steelhead Pro's My other sets have 7's from 33*-36* I would choose the Epics from 7 - PW, on looks and being Forged only then wedges @ 45, 50, 55 and 60.
Not a video which helps/appeals to me, but it’s another well structured video with loads of good content for people in this market.
I would have to go Ping or Cleveland. Really based on I own Ping G700 irons and Cleveland wedges and their chipper currently and I just love them. Cleveland just makes good clubs for the average golfer who just likes to play golf and not worry about all the other fuss. And Ping, well they are Ping. Just overall solid in all things they do.
Classy Callaway cap
Hello Mark love all your videos.. I have a question for you on this subject. I’m a weekend hacker been as low as a 13 handicap.. since then I have survived a car crash and now have low back issues.. spondylitis in my SI, L5 junction.. so with that I’m trying to swing easy to stop the pain I get after I swing my normal type old swing.. my distance have dropped at least 1.5 clubs.. what would be some good clubs to look at to gain some distance back while swinging easier..thanks again..
Right now TaylorMade SIM Max is at the top of my list for my first set of irons and a number two would be Ping G410.
oh lord, all over the planet coach!
Love this style of review. Really like the direction the channel is going, in fact, keep it up boys!
Here I go again. I played my set of 120 dollar Cleveland HBores for about 6 years. I loved them. Then I got my Taylormade Speeeeeeeeeed Blades. Im in ancient mode, YES!!! I guess I liked my chunkies. I still switch them out and in as need would have it. One thing I did to the old HBores.... I sandblasted all of the paint off of them because they chipped the paint off each other while in the bag. I ended up clear coating them.
Mark had a hard time believing the Speed Zone was every bit as strong as the Epic. Not sure why. Both 24° at the 6
It'd be great to see a comparison video where you have a 34* 7i hitting a high spin ball vs a 28* 7i hitting a budget ball (Srixon soft feel?) to show how much the spin/distance differs. And then maybe switch the balls to see which makes the bigger difference.
T300 for me.......................oh!, Ive just ordered some on Monday.
I recently bought the Titleist T200's. Looks like a players iron & performs like a game improvement irons.
Hey Mark, I know irons have offset of different degree's. Has there been a iron that has onset? I guess that would be face forward? I really like this kind of test you guy's are doing. Thanks. I don't remember if the CLeveland VAS was offset or not.
