Hi Pete, I’m a 66 year young woman, and play the PXG gen5 0311P irons, recently had my best round with them of 87, I’m a 20.5 handicapper. Absolutely love em.
I have other irons, love them too 😂
I use PXG 3rd gen 0311 irons and loved them so much I bought my son a set also. Very forgiving accurate and long!!
I have the T-series and just shot my first round of 72 EVER!! Love them
Impressive. Well done!
Well played I would love to break 90
I am a 58 year old female, 11-13 handicap, and have been playing a set of PXG 0311P Gen 5, Project X Cypher 50i shafts (A flex) for a few months now (dad ordered them for himself and did not like them). I must say, I love the feel of the clubs! I am hitting my 6 iron 165-180 yards consistently with great control. Never thought I would be able to truly "feel" a club as it strikes the ball. Just picked up an A wedge from PXG to complete my set.
I'm a 5 handicap and have owned PXG Gen 1 & most recently Gen 3 irons and have always loved them. I had plans to get the Gen6 next season when they'd likely then be replaced by something new and as a result be priced reduced, but the deal killer for me was that ridge along the sole of the club. It's enough to be cleaning grooves after each shot, but now having to clean that groove along the bottom was too much maintenance for me. Others I know that now own then have dirt and grass in them constantly (something not obvious when getting fitted off a mat in the store!). I just recently took delivery of the new Titleist T150s (blended to T200 in 6 & 5 iron) and after a couple rounds am already in love! The narrow sole and fairly small head at first intimidated me, but I consistently striped them during fitting, so the technology in them is very impressive. My 1st set of Titleist irons and I could not be more excited!
Gidday Pete. I’m playing theT200s. I have had about 20 years away from the game, can’t why because I love getting out on the course with work mates or just by myself. The T200s are helping me hit shots I wasn’t hitting at 35 years old and giving me confidence in my game. I love them.
Hi Pete.
I'm a 6.2 handicap and I've had my new Titleist T200 Irons for a good few weeks now. They look absolutely awesome, and the performance and feel are unreal. I did try the P790 when I was fitted but preferred the look feel and performance of the Titleist.
I play old set of ap1 . Bought them slightly used a year and half ago and love them . Im around an 8-10 handi cap strike the ball well but not perfect . Should I play these or the new 300s?
@@tannershane6491depends on how comfortable you are with your set. if you love em and are hitting greens with good enough stopping power i think you should keep your set
Thanks. I think I'm getting them. I love Titleist irons.
Hi Peter, I love your videos! I’m a 24-year-old ambitious golfer from Switzerland. I’ve been playing golf for a year and have the Inesis 500 series iron set. Within this year, I’ve improved my handicap to 15.
I use the same in India, I love them! The feel, forgiveness, distance. Perfect for a 15 handicap player.
Pete, I am 59 yrs and started Golf 3 yrs ago. I am now somewhere around bogey golf on avg., I did shoot a 14 over though (best round, 2 birdies). I currently play the Takomo 101, I do leave the 4i at home though, I very much prefer my Ping 425 7w. The Takomo's have given me shot length, consistency (i.e. forgivemess) and feel. Honestly, the looks are unbelievable. Numerous times people ask me how I manage to play blades.....
I am between 11 and 13.5 very up and down with this hcp system. I have just bought the Wilson D9 forged irons with a stiff 105 dynamic gold shafts as they suited me best.
Wilson Irons are so underrated. I had some D7 Forged irons and loved them.
Peter, love the content. PXG EVERY TIME FOR ME. the fitting process from PXG is second to none. It’s worth going to PXG just to experience the process. Unlike other brands, they fit you across the bag….! Price wise, in line or cheaper than the others.
I tried the P790 and they just don’t cut it in comparison.
Bought 2023 Taylor made P770's at 27 handicap, only been playing a year, after 2 months with them went down to 17. Absolutely love them and glad I didn't go P790 route as I think I'd have outgrown them very quickly. For someone wanting to improve I think 790's have a limited shelf life before you need something better
I was a 10 when I was fitted for P790s, down to a 6.5 now, and don't feel like I need something "better". You can play P790s for a good long time.
Yeah you got a long long way to go before you’d outgrow p790. P770 would be for low single digit handicappers but P790 could be for low single too. Perhaps your swing is just improving at that level.
Pete,I had a 19 handicap, went to a PXG fitting, fell in love and bought them. Within a couple months my handicap dropped to a 12. And with a Putter fitting it's starting to drop even further. I'm getting tired of retailers bashing PXG ! Sorry you can't sell them, but they are still good clubs. You even indicate you are surprised that they are good enough to get on your list. Everyone that I let hit these clubs are shocked at good they are. Everyone get over it! They are good clubs!!!
Don't spread the word too much...keep those prices down! lol
I'm a +1.3, playing Srixon ZX4's, considered game improvement but I think anyone can use them no matter what your handicap is. .I like the gray matte finish, very easy to hit, why work hard when you don't have to.
This is something that, as a new golfer, I struggle to wrap my head around. When picking my first set of clubs I did a lot of research about what clubs were suitable. A lot would be considered to hard for me to use, but my thought there is as I improve, why would I want to upgrade to a set of clubs that are harder to hit?
Why would anyone want to make a difficult game harder by using clubs that are much less forgiving? I know there’s the workability argument, but that surely exists in most clubs bar something extremely GI like the Wilson Launch Pads, which is basically a full set of hybrids. There’s the classic story about the Rickie Fowler blades, even he didn’t game them for long because of how hard they were to hit, what’s the point in that? Just get a set of irons that gap well for you and are easy to hit how you want! 😅
@@reczyyou are absolutly right but there is a difference between a blade and a game improving irons like presented in the videos. A lot of tour players are now going back to irons woth a little more forgivness than blades like t100 from titleist because the feel is close enough for them. I dont recommand those hybrids/irons like the wilson because you’ll progress too quickly at first
@@elliotboudreault9628 I ended up with a Wilson x31 package set. It’s been great for me. Gonna run them as they are until middle of next season then look at upgrading the driver or 3 wood depending on how I progress. Really liking the look of the Adam’s Idea woods, so will start tinkering next year
+2 here, in Oklahoma lol. I play the same clubs. Mainly bc of turf interaction, I played Mizuno blades for years. I was a 1hcp before them lol point and shoot is fun. Good thing I can putt
@reczy I started with blades, didn't know any better at the time. I hate the chunky look and turf interaction of "game improvement" irons however I do carry a 4 hybrid. I play on hard golf courses and currently use ZX7s.
Choose what you like as you can practice to fit...and forged does feel and sound better.
Hi Pete
I’m a 28 handicap currently and went for a fitting earlier in the year
The result of this was a set of Mizuno JPX923 HM Pro with modus 115 shafts
I absolutely love them
And I’ll be able to keep them whilst I progress
Keep up the brilliant content
I'm a 16 handicap and absolutely LOVE my JPX921 hot metals.
They aren't the most forgiving when it comes to not striking it in the center of the face, especially with the 4 and 5 iron, but I love the launch, spin, and feel of them.
Hi Pete,
I'm playing off 14 at the moment. I went for a club fitting a couple weeks ago and tried P-790, T200 and mizuno 223. For me best feeling was T200 and mizuno 223 and then it came down to how it looked behind the ball and the T200 got the vote for me.
T200 look and feel amazing.
Keep up the great work 💪💪
Hi Pete, I’m currently playing off a 16.2 handicap and am gaming the older version of the P770’s. Got a killer deal last year and picked up 4-PW for $600 and have fallen in love with them ever since
13 handicapper and I rock the ZX5 from Srixon, awesome feel and tons of forgiveness.
I play around a 10-12 handicap and I’m gaming the X2 Hot Pro irons from 2014. I am always tempted to upgrade, but they are very forgiving and still have all the “player” attributes that im seeing in modern day sets. Smaller blade length, minimal offset, weight bar and support behind the sweet spot. I don’t play enough to warrant an $800+ purchase and they give me everything I’d need from an iron
$800? T200s are $1400 new. I'm playing 2014 ap2 and the only reason I'm in the market is because I want +1" with a lightened head to correct the swing weight. If my clubs fit me I'd keep them and it sounds like you should keep yours
@@kakimotoK20 yeah that is my thought process. I used $800 as a reference point for a lightly used set, to my recollection I have never purchased a new set of irons. I dont see the need when there is such an immediate depreciation in value with used sets.
Hey brother, I am a 30 year old 16 handicap (steadily coming down). Just purchased the Mizuno 923 Forged and couldn't be happier!
I’m a senior, carrying a 4 handicap. I’m currently playing the Wilson D9 irons. I know they’re ugly , but they do get the job done. If I was going to change, I believe I would go with Titleist T200 .
Hey Pete, I am a 11 hdcp currently playing 20 yr old KZG component irons. Looking to upgrade because I need more forgiveness. Stopped at a PXG store in Philadelphia and hit the gen 6 P. Really like them. Will probably go get fitted over the winter. Thanks for your review of them and for the excellent content!
I've ground my way down to a 7.6 hdcp from a 14.9 to start the season. I was gaming Srixon ZX5 irons up until I crossed the single digit barrier. I'm currently gaming the ZX7 irons. I strongly recommend both for the respective hdcp ranges. I'm an Assistant Pro and my Pro is contracted with Srixon. I have to say they weren't on my radar prior ,but it would be hard to knock them out of the bag now! Much love, Peter! ⛳️ 🏌️♂️ 👊
I'm playing off 15, and I've got 4i to gap wedge in i230. I've heard a lot of people say that doesn't make sense, but I love the way they look, feel and perform for me.
im off 12 and games improved no end with the i230. far more consistent ball striking now my miss is a slight over draw but that's probably a 5-10 yd miss but still pin high. switched. from the Mizuno JPX921 forged and messed left and right but and the ping fell just as soft.
Hi Peter, I'm a 65 year old man, and I use the PXG gen 3 0311 XF and love them. I used to play Callaway big bertha's, and there is no comparison. My game has improved drastically from it too. I'm going to play them another year then go get professional fit for a new set, and they will be the PXG. Thanks for your show, I recently found your UA-cam channel and find it very entertaining. Keep up the good content. Dan
I'm playing off a 14.5, playing the Cobra King Forged Tecs with graphite shafts. Absolutely love them. Buttery when struck well, a little shock when they aren't, but still really forgiving
I got fitted for them this year at the beginning of the season and absolutely love them!
Hey Pete, I’m a 15.6 handicap junior golfer, I got fitted for a set of Mizuno Pro 223 earlier this year and I absolutely love them, they feel so buttery smooth and are forgiving enough for me, while still looking the part behind the ball and in the bag!
15.6 in 223’s, is it a full set of 223s or combo set ? If it’s a full set I’m assuming ball striking isn’t what is keeping you at a 15.6. 223s aren’t the most forgiving iron around !
@@flogrown2014 yea a full set, my irons are my strength, when I was getting my fitting we were trying to future proof me, so that in a couple years when I hope to get down to single figures I have suitable irons, maybe I should have gone with some more forgiving irons for now, but my fitter is also my coach, so I trust him to know my game and make the right call. And trying other more forgiving irons the stats showed that the 223’s were by far the best for me, and the look of them suits my eye.
@@alexc06 do you strike the 4, 5, and 6 well ? I got the 223s when they came out and wasn’t too keen on the 4 and 5 iron, so I went to the 225 in those 2. At the end of the day, nothing feels like a mizuno ! Good luck !
Hi Pete, my handicap is 13.5 and I play the 2022 Cobra Forged Tec irons (in the copper finish). I usually shoot in the low 80's with a career best of 79 against a par of 70!!
Hi Peter, I am a handicap 9, I discover the PXG golf clubs some months ago, now I play a PXG IRONS set 0311P with KBS TGI 60grs graphite shafts and White tour velvet Golf Pride. These clubs are fantastic, really beautiful, easy to play and give me a incredible forgiveness, precision and power. I really really love these clubs. My wife was playing Honma golf clubs, now she plays the same clubs than me with Project X Cypher forty 4.0 shafts. Since several weeks she asks me to go to play golf every day… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣!
I'm a 3.8 handicap player, I've played the Ben Hogan PTX Pro (5-7) and Icon (8-PW) combo set, with the Ben Hogan UiHi 3-4 irons for the past 3 years. I have no complaints with these irons. The only change I will be making will be to switch from my current midsize grip to the JumboMax grip with a goal of limiting my dreaded miss left. Driver/ 3-wood with that grip have been encouraging, so I feel it's time to commit to the switch theough the entire bag.
Got my handicap down to 11 this year and just picked up a secondhand set of Ping i500 irons. I used to use a set of big cavity back Callaway X20 and I can feel such a difference with the Ping, much more consistent when I strike them well
I absolutely love Peters club review videos........almost as much as watching him play !!! It really helps consumers know what to look for and what to expect.
Thanks Pete, I’m a 58 year old 17 hcp playing with 18 year old Callaway irons. Catching your video certainly got me thinking about investing in a new set of irons before the Spring. I’ll give these three recommendations a try.
Ooo! Wilson D9 Forged is my sleeper/dark horse iron for Mid handicap golfers. Wilson doesn't have the brand name but they're making incredible clubs
Great pulls from Titleist & Taylormade. Mid-handicap irons to match from the rest of the manufacturers I would say:
• Srixon: ZX5
• Ping: i230
• Mizuno: 223 Tour/Pro
• Callaway: Apex Pro/MB (2024)
• Cobra: Forged Tec X
Great swings Pete!
Yes, I'm 75 off 14.2 and have in the last year changed to the D9 (not forged). They are superb, the ball explodes off the face, my natural iron shape is a draw and these accommodate that as well. The lofts are stronger than my previous clubs and my ShotScope data shows me that these are a club and a half longer.
Playing the TM P770’s. Love them as can move the ball again. Played off 5 and below for over 40 years 😊 Can shoot anything from under to 12 over. Lack the time to keep my consistency .
I’m currently a 9 handicap and playing the Takomo 201 irons. Love the forged feel, and I get a decent amount of forgiveness on mishits
I play 201s as well. Premium quality for refraction of the price compared to brands. People love throwing away money for clout brands.
Hi Team! I’ve only been playing for a year, but got my hcp to 18 now. I’m a student so I don’t have the budget. Got my 2009-2010 wilson fg forged tour irons from ebay for 77£. 3i - pw with dynamic gold s300 stiffs. Abit too ”player” irons for me but I have to make do with what I got. Crazy great deal tho! All the club faces are still fresh and they play nice when struck well.
Great irons
I just purchased a set of Srixon ZX5 Mark II. I had a fitting for the Titleist 200 irons as well as the Srixons.
Both are forged irons Srixon, forged in Japan.
Both feel great be the Srixon were better value... I was able to save about $70 US per iron...
I am 67 years old and playing off 10...
Srixon irons really perform and price point is a winner for me.
I played the PXG 0311 P's for several years, and love them. But I just got fitted for the 0317 Ts and they are just unbelievable! PXG really gets it right with all their clubs
I joined my first gold club around 3 1/2 years ago with some hand me down clubs with a handicap of 28 , treated myself to some fitted jpx 921 hot metals when they first came out , got down to 14, got the golf big massively. Brought some ping i230s now I’m off 9 with a few fats and thins aside I love them
Current 11.3 HCP, I game SIM2 MaxOS Irons and since purchase, Ive switched from MT85 steel shafts to VENTUS 6 60g REGULAR.
I hit the ball higher which takes away some of the distance this iron is designed to provide. Midsize CHAMPKEY grips have really helped me to not be so handsy.
Really love them and hit them well so Im not changing clubs just yet, unless something comes out that "I just cant live without"!
Nice to see PXG make the list. I'm a fan and play the Gen 3 P. Those are slightly weaker loft than current Gen 6 P. Agree that the feel is very unique. I can see a set of the 0317 T irons going in my bag next year. Also playing around with the Takomo 201 CB irons.
I'm a 9.0 hdcp. I've been playing the Mizuno JPX 900 forged for a few years now. I like the feel of them when I find the middle. But, I'm getting older and thinking a little extra distance would be benifical. I can shape the ball either way, but don't do it often enough that I'd miss any of the 'playability'.
Currently a 10 handicap. I have improved by quite a bit over the last 5 years but while initial score drop was due to new irons/woods/driver/putter (fitted for all, biggest improvement, Driver, then wedge/putting), most is due to practice/rounds played. I have played Titleist Ap1's for last 8 years or so. I do love them, BUT, as long as another iron is close to my needs in lie/stiffness/length, I can hit them ok regardless of brand. Big improvement over previous 30 year old set but my serious drop in strokes was from wedge play and putting. A putter fitting made a huge improvement. My advice as a mid handi is: 1) get lessons (I am self-taught but saw huge improvement for my wife post lessons) 2) get fitted (don't let fitter tell you brand so there is no bias, go by numbers) 3) Practice of grass at range. Learn you true distance per club. Just because you hit a ball "x" distance once doesn't mean you do it every time. 4) Play
16 handicap here and I have the 2021 p790s. Best clubs I've had yet. Went from bouncing around fro a 15 to a 22 and back down to a 16. Now I started at 16 and hovered around there all season
Enjoyed the video as always. I play of 14 handicap and this is my second year of taking up golf again (played a bit when I was a kid but stopped when I got into my teens). When I went to get fitted into a set of irons the t200s was certainly a contender, I didn't like the p790s at all and I still have a hard time explaining why tbh. But after I tried the Mizuno 923 forged something just clicked and I'm still very happy with my choice.
I would be cautious when purchasing the Titleist T200 irons as I have owned them from new since August 2023 and the plastic backing (back of the club head) has come off on the 7 iron. Seems to be a problem Titleist are having with them. Also the cheap plastic that they have glued to the back fades dramatically and quickly making them look really worn and cheap within a few months. I'm in the process of returning mine which is unfortunate as they do perform very well.
I don't know what my handicap is, but this is my second year playing sociably with friends. My first year I picked up a cheap second hand set of old Titleist DTR, I didn't want to spend much in case I didn't like them or didn't play golf much. This year I have played more and decided to invest in some new clubs. Having watched a load of youtube videos, I decided a couple of weeks ago to get the new Titleist T200's. I can only compare them to the old cheap set I had previously, but they play like a dream, even if I am still not that great lol.
34 years old 10 handicap here, hit a good distance but like you said, miss a little bit too much shots in a round. Really improve this year. I have T300 for the moment but it is not a good club for me, at least not anymore. I got fitted for a combine set T150 (6-PW) T200 (4-5). Will be in the bag before the next season. Really enjoyed this video for my skill level!
I’m off scratch and I’m currently gaming the Srixon Zx5 Mkll. They’re pretty forgiving, nice feeling, and nice looking. Been looking to get new clubs since the drastic changes in my handicap to better fit my swing. But the Srixons are great.
Hi Peter , I'm a 68 year old 18 handicapper , i am using Inesis 500 irons at the moment but they don't instil a lot of confidence with the thin top edge and when looking down on the ball they resemble a blade
Hi Pete , Currently playing at 10,7 and got there with Wilson D9 Irons . This Autumn also got the new Dynapower Carbon driver and metal wood # 3 . It has made a difference. Thanks for another great video .
Great to hear!
Pete, love your content.
I've played more golf this year than i have in the past 5 years combined... I finally got myself into a Mizuno set. 919 hot metal. I was using a taylormade burner set prior. 90 is the best i shot this year and i hope to hit mid 80's next season. Best of luck with the channel. Looking forward to future vids.
Hi Pete. HC is at 5.2 and currently gaming the PXG 0311P Gen 5. Love the Feel, Consistency and Confidence they give me and even provide some assistance when my swing is on holiday during some rounds. Might look into Gen6 version but so far, they are set in my bag.
Great job Peter! I'm a 10 handicap, been playing an old set of Ping S55s for a while now, but my new fitted T100s should be here today! I tried the T200 and just didn't like the inconsistent distance. Every once in a while I'd nuke one 20+ yards longer, while the T100 were bang on every time. Still it's a great video, thanks!
43 years old, 9 handicap, love my I210s in retro spec. Just switched from the Eye2s (Square Groove, first real set bought used in 1998) in 2020.
Hi Pete, I'm 58 and play Muzino Pro 225 Irons. I'm a 15 Index, and now that I've figured them out, I love them (I had a game improvement iron with quite a bit of offset before).
I started the year as about a 20 handicap, but have been steadily making progress. I'm currently playing at about a 12-14 handicap level. I'm using a set of hand-me-down Mizuno MP-30 irons. When I hit them well, they feel great, but when I have a bad swing, I miss then so badly that no club is going to save it. I recently used some impact tape to see where I am striking the irons, and I consistently hit every ball on the heel side of center, with an occasional shank. If I can move the hits over to the center of the club, and also get rid of my fat hits, my current irons will be fine. I suppose that an iron with more aggressive lofts might be a help as I tend to hit my irons very high, handy for hitting over trees, but not helpful in high winds.
Hey, I'm a 7.0 handicap now(was 9.1), switched from 2018 790s to PXG Gen5 0211 last year and love the fact that any bad shots are my fault vs the club and they are half the price of 0311. Would love to see a quick video of 0311 vs 0211 from your perspective of the type of golfer for each. The 0211, in my opinion has hole in one's and par golf in it for about $100 a club fitted and shipped.
I am a 11 handicap. I had 2 reconstructive shoulder surgeries so swing speed and rotation just not there. I play PING i525 irons. They give me great distance and the ball gets in the air for stopping power. The dispersion was tighter for me and playing in the PNW it’s wet so the microgrooves and hydra pearl finish really helps. Love em
Currently a 12 handicap playing takomo 101t. Just picked up an older set of Srixon z forged heads to have built. I don’t anticipate me throwing them in the bag anytime soon, but want a set of blades to practice and hopefully improve my ball striking even more
great video! currently a 10 handicap with cobra rad speed one length. Keep eye balling the PXG stuff but love my one length!
Pete .. I learned golf in the early 1980’s with my dads old Wilson clubs I became an 8 handicap… and then quit for twenty yrs … I took it up about 3yrs ago ,with trying out a new set of callaway rouge “improvement clubs” omg I would normally with a good 9 iron hit about -150 … with the new clubs 170 .. crazy I had absolutely no feel … I don’t like the new degrees or the light weight of the clubs .. I traded those in and bought Taylor p790s and put a ton of lead tape on them … it’s the closest thing to the old clubs I think without getting fitted.. which I really should do … great video.. thanks 👍
Did you ever consider just buying an old set of blades in good condition and saving $1500 ? Asking for a friend Matt.....
Currently an 8. Rocking Mizuno MP-60 Muscle Cut irons now. Sometime within the next 6 months will be looking at these sets you’ve described. Already on the list.
Hi Peter, 67 year old, 24 handicapper, only started this year, play with Titleist 716 AP1 irons, have to say, love the look of the T200, maybe I should try them.
I am a 50 year old with a 6.3 handicap. I have been playing the Callaway Apex DCB for the last 3 years to help with forgiveness and a bit more length.
I’m a 12 hcp; went to get fitted last year and decided to buy the Haywood “Signature” irons, 5-PW, regular flex. It was between a used set of P790’s or brand new, built to my specs Haywood’s. I chose wisely!
Love this channel and really love the sense of humour that underpins the videos - it really deserves to have many, many more subscribers
Following the theme…Hi Pete. I’m 70 and I’m playing Takomo 201’s. Bought as a result of having watched your review - thank you so much for that. Handicap of 28 and I normally score 30 - 34 points . Sometimes better and sometimes not.
Hi Pete, 10.4 handicap and replaced my AP2s with T200s about 6 weeks ago. Gained a load of distance and control, love the feel and off-centre hits are so much more consistent than anything I've tested and played with. All round brilliant set of irons
I got a set of used ap-1 last December . My golf game has increased drastically but I feel like I have played the less
Clubs best I could. Should I get 200 or 300?
I'm 63 and use Callaway Paradym irons, love the feel off the face and the sound when struck pure
What about the lofts? PWs are coming at 43°... seriously it's getting ridicoulous to the point that you either need to get an extra wedge or forcibly get custom fit to get normal lofts. Would love to hear your opinion. Mainly concerned about stopping power.
10.6 using the ping i525 (was at 15) noticed a huge improvement
Recently switched from P790 to Cobra King Forged CB/MB Combo DMB Black KBS 130 Extra Stiff, and hdcp went from 7.9 to 4.1.
I am a currently an 11.5 handicap and last season played the P790's when I was at a 14.2 handicap. It was suggested that I check out the Titleist T200's and haven't regretted my decision to make that change this season. I have found significant consistency in yardage and accuracy, which has allowed me to lower my handicap this season. I have absolutely LOVED the irons!! By far the best decision I have ever made for my golf game!! With all this said I can't suggest enough to know your game and how you play. Then relay that information to fitter to get an accurate fitting.
Currently a 10 handicap and playing the Taylormade P770 (2020). Confident strikes, high launch and lots of spin.
Enjoying the game much more!
Mizuno JPX900 forged. 23hcp and dhoot around 98, irons are strongest part of the game.
Fitted last year to second hand forged JPX900, modus3 125g stiff to help with tempo. Given huge difference and confidence boost from TM RAC irons. previous.
Just picked up golf again after about 15 year hiatus. About an 20 handicapish, bought Inesis 500 irons that are so much easier to hit than my old Tommy Armor 845s.
I have the PXG Gen 6 irons and absolutely love them! I am a 10 handicap senior player and these are the best irons I have ever played.
I’m 65 years old and have always had Titleist clubs until last year when I switched to PXG. Love my new PXG clubs
I am a 13, 68yo, have gone from Ping G to PXG 311P both graaphite, I love the sound , look and feel of the PXG over the Ping but they are both great!
Play a P770/790 split set and shoot on average between 77-82. They are awesome - great feel, look and performance - there’s a reason they are the best selling irons of all time!
And, these are my 2nd set. Had the original 790s full bag and at start of the year went to the split 770/790. Can’t argue with a good thing.
I game Callaway Apex TCB, don’t play as much as I used to so I’m usually shooting high 80s which I’m happy with. But the feel for me can’t be beat. Might look to make a change in a few years but they serve me well so far. Loving the content keep it up
10 hcp. Mizuno pro223. I haven’t noticed any decrease in distance and they are beautiful
Paradym! came down to Paradym or T200 for me, they were about equal in feel and performance, with Ping 430 in 3rd place (also tested, Cobra & Paradym X). Did not test the PXG irons, they need a bigger retail presence but seem moving in that direction. Have been trying new model irons each year for 6+ yrs. This time finally saw a marked improvement (10 yds+) over prior set. Forgiveness with accuracy is wonderful. Regained the distance I had 15 yrs ago and forgiveness is so good I put the 6 iron back in the bag. (71 yr old 14 hcap).
I'm around a 14 right now from 20+ last year while still swinging Mavrik irons. I was leaning hard towards new T200 irons then those 790's have entered the frame but dropping a large amount of coin on a set is a tough pill to swallow so I've also been leaning towards Sub70 seeing the HQ is just over 2 hours north of me making getting fit for a set just as easy as any other brands.
Go check out Tokomo golf irons. Either the 201s or 301s. Both are forged and made exactly like the quality of top brands. Got the 201s and couldn't be any happier and only a 1/3 of the price.
Playing between 10 and 15. I switched from Callaway X2 Hot irons to the Mizuno JPX923 Hot metal irons. They are so consistent and smooth as butter!
I am a 36 hcp , I play a lovely MIURA MB-101 BLADES. I recommend these fantastic irons for medium high hcpa. A little expensive, but for me money is not a problem
I’m a 15 handicapper and generally score 88ish, using the old but gold adams golf speedline
ive got last years cobra forged tec, recently upgraded to some oban shafts and they absolutely unreal 😍😍😍
I'm a three handicapper and I play the Mizuno Pro 223s. As good as I am scoring wise I still have trouble with distance and there are perfect blend of forgiveness and distance that I need.
Change for the JPX pro. Unreal irons
Pro 223s are wonderful. I have a split set, with 223s for 7,6,5 (221s for short irons) and I absolutely love them. They were a gift to myself this season as I'm finally able to get back out regularly, and they're definitely helping me get my old game back (was a 4, now 10ish, but coming around).
Hi Pete..I'm a 57 Yr senior off plus 2..currently shooting around 3under to level ish..have shot a 59 with these clubs😊..ping i210 pw to 7 iron..ping i5006&5 iron then a Taylormade 5 rescue which is so easy to hit it unreal...nice vid Pete🎉
Hi
I have just bought a set of the PXG irons and absolutely love them. More distance more forgiving what more could a 64 year old 22 handicapper want!
Great review I looked at both the others but no contest when I tried the PXG.
Get a fitting for best results I was shocked 😮
Am a 6 handicap player and I currently have the Srixon zx5 irons
Hey there, I am 66 and game the Taylormade Stealth irons (graphite shafts). I generally score in the high 70s to low 80s and these irons seem to be the ideal fit for me, great clubs...
I was playing with stealth then I decided change my clubs to PXG Gen6 and I really loved. All of the Pxg gen6 is very amazin: contact, sound, feel, control. I recomend
I had numerous Pings including the G, Now using the PXG gen5 311P they just feel so nice and have improved my ball striking especially with thin shots . Index 13
Hi, 70yo, Currently 9.6 +/- 1 Hcp, use Cleveland UHX irons #5 - GW, coming out of Winter in Oz, when my Hcp usually goes out 1-2 shots, usually shoot mid / high 70 to low 80s.
i'm a 5.2 handicap and i've had my Taylormade SLDR iron set for 2 years. recently had my best round with them of 70.
Pete. I’m 59. I normally shoot between 85-88. I’ve struggled with irons forever. I tend to sweep the club. Currently I have 6-gap Wilson dynapower irons. I go to 9,7 & 5 big Bertha woods and I game paradym driver. I’ve recently tried stealth HD and Rogue max os lite. It’s a true struggle
I play Taylormade RAC's, probably 20 years old but in good shape. I have an unofficial handicap of 15, but broke 80 for the first time last week 🎉 Love this video, you are like the "Top Gear" of golf reviews. Keep up the amazing work!
I also rock the RAC set from low to high, with preference to the low irons for precision. My friend got fitted for some irons this summer (some Cobras, can't remeber the make) and the difference in tech is astonishing though (probably 25-30 yards extra on the 7 iron, no matter what I do to increase carry)! Love how the sport is developing with the years ;)
I have to play a forged muscle back. I'm currently playing the Haywood MB that are not only good looking, they really feel amazing. When you put a proper swing in them it is so rewarding and you know your ball went where you intended.
