The Wilson Staff irons are so gorgeous
You're not wrong! Thanks for watching 👍
I tried hitting them and it felt like hitting a rock, I wanted to buy them, maybe I'm not good enough for blades
@@justinwitmer1805 I think feel is subjective. I don’t feel like I’m good enough to play blades but everytime I try Wilson, Srixon, and Mizuno they feel fantastic. Of course I wouldn’t play any blade past a 7 iron. 😂
Haywood Golf out of Vancouver is another awesome DTC brand. They mill their blades to a 2% tolerance, which is tighter than industry standards, and you can get a PW-4 set for $799 with your choice of shaft. Got mine a year and a half ago, my distances increased by 15 yards per club and my handicap is down 4.5 strokes. I’m now a 14.5 and love my combo set (blades PW-7, CB’s 6-4). I know I’m not technically “good enough” to play blades but they have absolutely benefited my game; goes to show not every golfer is the same and you should play what makes you happy
No Miura's? If someone mentions blades, I immediately think of these.
Only the best that I have tested. We reached out to Miura and they didn't want to supply samples, unfortunately. Thanks for watching 👍
Wow, great to see a DTC brand get that rating. I'm going to check out Takomo the next time I need irons. And I agree with you on the Mizuno's. I have the hot metals and while they do have a soft feel, there is something about the look behind the ball that seems off.
That's how I feel, I can't put my finger on it but just doesn't quite fit my eye. Still amazing-looking clubs in the bag though! Thanks for watching 👍
How did the shaft setups compare? Were they varying manufacturers and flexes?
I love my Ben Hogan Icon irons, and I hope you will consider them next time.
Holy crap, a 32° 7i ina players iron, lofts have been getting so strong. I remember hearing how my 36°7i sets were strong lofts when I started playing. I’ve always stuck with a 48° pw, 44° 9, 40.5° 8i, 36° 7, 32° 6, etc. but it’s getting harder to find lofts weak enough, thankfully Titleist has stayed with the 47° pw which I bend a degree weak through the years, I also like how it lessens the offset. Ive gamed a set of the Titleist MB for over 20 years now, the 620’s will probably go in the bag soon but I always go back to my trusty 710’s which I’m on my 3rd set of heads 3-pw through the years. liked the 714’s a lot too. They’re all basically the same with minor differences. Some of these irons on here weren’t even really blades also.
I have an old set of Mizuno MP14 and the pitching wedge is 50*. 😳
@@miguelitoaniceto5882 nice, they used to be 52° then got stronger hence the invention of the 52° gap wedge, soon we’ll need a 5th wedge type, people are already calling 46°-50° “gap wedges when they’re really pitching wedges. I think there should be loft spectrums for each club type personally.
Wow, 36° ? ... my 7 iron is 27° !
@@PatPenton-fw8bk dang, that’s stronger than my 6i (32°). I’m assuming they’re “game improvement” irons? titleist standard for 7i is 35°, 47° pw, etc . Mine are only 1 degree weak of standard, obviously.
@@PatPenton-fw8bk 27* is a 5 iron. 😂
Those Wilson Staff Model blades are incredible
If Miura isn’t one of the clubs in your list. Your list for best club is incomplete.
Meh… Miura are gems for sure, but a $4,000 set of irons is a joke, and should never be included in a review aimed at 99.9% of the golf population.
Miura isn't on the list for the same reason Bettinardi isn't gonna be on the best putters list. They're a niche iron and not widely available.
@@paul_hd1875blades aren’t meant for 99.9% either
@@paul_hd187599.9% not buying blades
Agree 100%. There's Miura and then there's everything else.
Vega are performing well because the 7 iron is basically a 6 iron. Look at the numbers, lowest loft, lowest spin, longest distant. Its a 6 iron.
Yep, I mention that fully when speaking about them. Great option for high spinners still wanting to use blades. Thanks for watching 👍
I have a set of Wilson staff FG51 tour blades from the early 90s and they are as good as anything made today!
Doing a great Job Joe .👍👍
Appreciate the support!😄
Wilson blades are always gorgeous. Takomo is taking golf world by storm tgis yr.
Great product at an incredible price! Thanks for watching 👍
What shafts are they all using?
Srixon ZX7 MKII 5-pm with a ZX5 MKII 4 iron
I agree with the mizuno irons looking odd behind the ball. Never could get my head around them. Look a bit chunky as odd as that sounds.
Just gotta say it as I see it! Thanks for watching 👍
Stunning background
Sub70 has some beautiful blades.
Nice review - but as chopper, these lovely-looking clubs will not be hopping into my bag anytime soon! 😂
Just buy some to look at and dream then Martyn!!! Thanks for watching as always 👍
Watching Joe the pro is always a pleasure! But watching on a Japanese masterpiece made by Miura or Honma also is - and i missed this pieces in your selection. Do a other video with such traditional forged clubs, maybe with a set of betinardi irons like Freddie Couples tested here on yt....
That's kind Michael! We reached out to Miura but they didn't want to supply samples so couldn't include unfortunately. The Bettinardi blades were released too late for the video unfortunately too. Thanks for watching 👍
@@JoeFerguson-cd4bg it's always a pleasure watching you videos Joe! One thoughtful to the takomos : maybe they are goodness or not, what i hate on business is telling me stories. And they storytelling of cheap takomos is s story and notes much more. Your can get them with a kbs shafted in stuff order regular and standard length and grips. Then the price is 649,-. But that's not what i need and want! For me a DG shaft, 0.5 longer and maybe a cord grip are the tight stuff. Every time normal brand makes this possible for the same price - and takomo? At the end they are nearly at the same time price point, maybe a fraction cheaper. So at the end it's for me a huge story, not more. From the club's you tested i maybes would take a set of wilson staff because of the look and the tradition! But I tell you if you are looking for for ultimative feel, then test a honma blade! If i hit the my 27 ears old 7 iron in the sweet spot it's like a..... A unbelievable feeling it really is! I hope you play soon a round of golf with Dan, Paul and James!! If, i will watch!
agreed! That Takomo was my best blade of 2023... And that's why it's been in my bag since January 2023! (and will likely stay there for a while). The price obviously doesn't play against it, as well.
If MacGregor could come back like they once were!
Miura, oh so smooth!
But, oh so expensive!
Most will never even try because of the price!
The rest are within most of our budgets,
Very interesting opinion and data but for me because Mizuno Miura Takomo and others dont do a 3 iron in a set of irons, that iron model would be straight rejected for me. The Wilson wins hands down here cos they do a two iron and three iron. Really surprized the Callaway Apex MB did not even feature. Has to be the best looking mb iron period. So a little surprised by that but purests get put off by new tech in blades. Its all subjective perspective. The Ping is nice but reason I will not play with Ping is their customer service is shocking and they don;t offer the shaft I want as a custom order. I wanted the Blueprint T's in the KBS $ - Taper only to be told by Ping that that is not possible???? For me its between the Wilson and Callaway, although the Cobra features strong here as well as I have hit the cobra and it is a great iron.
Interesting thoughts Michael. It's all subjective I guess. The Apex MB was just to angular at address for my eye, much preferred the CB shaping. Thanks for watching 👍
Mizuno pro 243 is the club that worked best for me I sent hours getting fitted and it was the best for me personally
Tried the Takomo 301MB and I kinda liked em. Would i play them? Nope. I want forgiveness. So 101T incoming this summer
You can’t be fitted so pointless for someone who wants blades
@@paulmcgee1867 Well there is a way around it. purchase the heads and take them to get fitted. Elite Fit Golf and Club Champion will fit you. IF you know your specs - you cand o some level of customization to match as closest possible to the shaft you play. DTC brands do not focus on fitting a player per say.
Best blades John Letters The Master Model, no you can’t be fitted but same for Tackymo
Takomo all day long. I have the basic 101's, same great looks, wonderful feel & performance & the PRICE can't beat'em.
Top line looks so chunky in the Takomo though
There's a reason Takomo doesn't have top line views of any of their irons on the website. All of em are super chunky. A little chamfering and they'd look great. Maybe that finishing process is expensive? I've never seen any in person but all the photos they look unfinished and unrefined.
@@uwrossl Takomo irons don't look unfinished nor unrefined. They actually look very good. Yes the top line is thicker but that doesn't disqualify them from being great looking and good performing irons.
@@xxthadeucexx Good performing agreed as it has no impact on performance...great looking....beg to differ. From a bag appeal standpoint they look fine. Maybe they look different in person but any top view pics you can find online.... they look unrefined and blocky.
@@uwrossl I own a couple of sets and they look good, at least to me they do. Not sure where you get unrefined from unless you mean they don't look like every other blade or the top line isn't razor thin, then I concede.
@@uwrossl I disagree there, obviously! I think they look beautiful in the flesh and the finish is exceptional to my eye at least! And the feel is as good or better than anything else I have tested. It's all subjective though. One mans junk is another mans treasure! Thanks for watching 👍
Great video! Beautiful location. Where is this?
Madeira. Stunning venue. Thanks for watching 👍
241 in the bag. Had 221's last year. Cannot hear your sound and feel strikes because your mic is muffled by your sweater at impact.
Yeah, we noticed that after the fact. Apologies on that one
The cobra RF MBs
Absolutely no audio on the ball striking in these reviews. Need another microphone for that. We'd all like to hear what they really sound like.
Srixon zx mk2
How could a blade spinning only 6300 win?
They provided a great flight window and launch for me. I'm generally a very low spin player so this isn't super low for me personally. Thanks for watching 👍
I wonder if you collected data from hundreds of strikes whether there would really be much if any difference between most forged irons? There is so much bs around golf gear and have forged irons really changed much in a couple of decades? Seems like you could go find anything from years ago for a few hundred dollars and you would be fine, they are fairly affordable actually, probably because so many people bought them and realise they can't use them.
Golf snobs won't be happy with your best pick. lol.
Nope, and there's a few upset in the comments already!!
bridgestone mb is the best
paid by Takomo
Ping aren’t true blades… neither are Callaway or PXG. IMHO a blade is a single piece of forged metal, w/out game improvement, or feel enhancement tech built into it. I 100% agree with blades needing to evolve to stronger lofts, the courses are getting longer… OEM’s need to adapt.
True MBs don't need to loftjack. Return the PW to 50° like it was when Tiger played.
Lofts don't need to increase, that's a fallacy.
If clubs didn't have numbers but just lofts you're point would almost be pointless beyond half inch in club length. If you need a 32 degree club to achieve a certain distance, whether it's got a 6,7 or 8 on the bottom is irrelevant. Spin numbers, moi, launch and forgiveness are far more relevant comparisons.
I can see your point but respectfully disagree. Hopefully there were enough more traditional blades in there for you to look at though. Thanks for watching 👍
Pxg weight in the back is for swing weight. It is a blade. It’s forged multiple times over and milled. Then the weight is for easier fitting for swing weights.
No chance a Chinese iron is better than Japan forging no chance !!! you must be sponsored mate.
Nope, completely brand agnostic. The blend of looks, feel, performance and incredible price point all combined to make them my favorite. Thanks for watching
No Maltby?
Maltbys are the best irons available hands down.
You are stuck on these big names, they are all ripping you the fuxk off.
Half the brands you mentioned, suck big time.
Get real, sales people suck.
Buy direct people,..... Maltby. Available at golf works. The best, hands down.
If you don't like them I'll buy them back for 75% of your cost.
You won't be disappointed.
They’re pretty nice expect for their lofts are strong af. Even if you bend them 2° weak the PW is still 47°, a fairly standard MB PW loft. I’ve gamed a 48° pw, 44° 9i, etc. forever & don’t want to change, I’d have to bend them 3° degrees weak, then grind the soles to fix the bounce, which would give them next to no offset. They felt pretty good when I hit them though, the top line was kinda thick for me personally was another thing I didn’t like about them, also they’re design just didn’t do it for me, I’d give them a 7/10.
No MIURA...👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
We would like to include, but Miura did not want to provide samples, unfortunately. Thanks for watching
