P790 is nasty imo compared to the T200.
T200 are the ones.
I just had a fitting and these out performed every other configuration for me, looking forward to them coming in
Mizuno JPX923 Forged in my bag
For the money the Wilson Dynapower forged has got to get a mention! Was it even in the review? A brand that's still so far under the radar in my opinion.
I picked up the previous D9 forged for peanuts and they are a cracking set of irons.
Haven't found an iron that have displaced my Callaway Apex 21s. The Srixon ZX5/ZX7 combo would be my next choice. I haven't had a chance to try the i530s yet.
Still playing PXG 0211 XCOR2 6-GW, cast clubs with some kind of injected substance. How would a club feel any better? $75 a club at the time.
PXG 0317t would be more suited for this category. The 0211 are the entry level budget clubs.
Wilson forged for me…
For me it is the 2024 Ben Hogan Icon irons, or the Titleist T100 irons. I have found that for me , the Hogan icon irons truly feel so pure when I play them. They have a balanced feel when I swing them, it seems almost effortless. These clubs have a solid sound when struck with a crisp fluid feel through impact.
These clubs along with the Titleist T 100 clubs seem to have a very tight dispersion and seem to be workable in both directions while hitting their numbers in yardage. Just pure enjoyment.
However, I spent several hours getting use to each. Golf just gets better and better. The Hogan's are the real deal ! Plus, they are priced so you don't feel guilty about spending the money as you might with others. Thanks to both the Ben Hogan Golf Company and Titleist for their hard work in truly perfecting these irons sets.
The plastic badge at the back of the T200 falls off after a few months. A real shame as the performance of these clubs is very good ☹️
Wilson Dynapower Forged are the best I have ever played.
Longest carry iron was ping i530
Srixon make the best irons at the moment
I think the Ping is in my top for looks also
Cheers to whomever is (also) still rocking FJ DNA’s. One of the best golf shoes ever.
Taylor Made hands down has the worst feeling irons hands down. Srixon and Mizuno would take the sound and feel category here all day.
Srixon ZX5/ZX7 Mk2 combo set for me. Stunning results.
Just looking at the prices, personally im being priced out of golf. My last set i bought was callaway steel heads in 2016. But over a grand to renew is just over the top.
I was gaming the cobra forged tecs, got fit for a flow set of the Cobra CB and MB. Butter
Start playing blades and just get good.
Wasn’t the longest carry distance the i530 at 186??
For the social golfer, the cheaper clubs work just as well as the most expensive clubs.
4 to 5 years old, affordable clubs score the same… just check your handicap history. Club manufacturers are charging outrageous prices to cover the marketing and the hype it generates.
For me the best one is Wilson Staff Dynapower Forged.
Does his collapsing arm bother anyone else, bc for me it’s like nails on a chalkboard?
Your lead arm collapses in the backswing but it seems to work for you?
Mizuno have a masterclass with this new line. Surprised to see the Edel SMS Pro here. I would put it in the players cavity with P7MC, T100, ZX7, 243.
For me Mizuno pro 245 the next generation in my bag …. But still enjoying my mp18 with stiff shafts
I'm sorry, but the i530s look wayyy better, and they feel the best.
Just got fitted and ordered a blended set of 243s and 245s. So excited to get these in my bag!
