Wouldn't necessarily say they are ugly; just not worth the price tag is more appropriate.
You can buy this set for under $200 bucks. It's called the Big Bertha Fusion. Looks likes nothing more than a spruced up looking version of the Fusion to me. I'd love to see a video comparing the two.
2 grand for a set of irons that you are going to beat into the ground.
Love that sound. Not so much the price..
For people with more money than skill
This is a dangerous road that these manufacturers are going down. The future of golf is in danger because they will use these models to justify the increase on their other models in the long run
Not a fan of taylormade but the clubs made for rory look a million times better that these, probably perform much better too!
just looks like a taylormade m2 iron to me.
I hope nobody buys them.
Just looked at the price out of curiosity. 5-PW was £1399…. What?!
Got to be honest, you might shouldn't have published this video. Gonna get accused of sandbagging with this review. You are about to go to qualifying in a few weeks, and hit iron shots like this.
I'll be honest, after seeing this review the 2015 XR's are probably just as good if not better for distance and forgiveness. Rick absolutely killed those things and his reaction was priceless.
Looks like Callaway pulled a Taylormade and decided to overcharge on half truths and fake carbon fiber inserts. Sad.
It's the I N D I A N not the A R R O W
I think they're pretty nice and it's strange that it spins low maybe the grooves are bad but I think they are nice
Can you do a review on the Topflite XL golf set
Hey, Rick. Have you thought about bending the 'strong lofted irons' to standard lofts and see how they perform? I do realise that you can just play an 8 iron as a 7 etc. What are they like in true lofts? I would be interested in that review! The obvious lack of workability due to extreme forgiveness won't be there, but they may spin similar to true lofts? I am interested to hear your thoughts on this. Cheers
Growing the game at 2 Grand a set…..
Do they look amazing? Not really. Are the shafts in them shit? Yes. Does that make a difference in performance? Absolutely
Fixation on lofts doesn't make sense. The Epic Pro 7i averaged a higher launch and the same peak height than the FG Tour V6 despite the much lower loft.
IMO the only performance issue here is the low spin. Only guys who launch the ball really high will find 4-5000 rpm on a 7i playable.
So Callaway has released a set of iron from 2i to 9i (strong lofts) that don't spin enough for the average player to hold greens. Now mid to high handicappers will need 4 wedges (48, 52, 56 and 60) to fill in the gap under the PW so in essence you have a standard set anyway.
Don't be fooled people. These companies aren't making longer irons, they are just bumping the number on the sole up a couple of clubs. You can see by Ricks dispersion of the shots with the 7 iron (and he is a Pro!!!). Hitting any club around the 190-200y distance is going to be tough. Whether it says 7 or 5 on the sole it makes no difference.
Keep your current clubs spend the 2,000 on lessons. This high priced club fad is a joke. Haven't seen anyone improve their game significantly with equipment.
I did my own testing on trackman with the same shaft and had results that were about the same as my apex 7 iron, however, when I changed the shaft to another project x lz I gain about 10 yards. The ball flight and spin rate were much better and you could throw a blanket over were the shots landed. I feel Rick did a good job in the rating but shafts with spin change do change the performance.
they have similar numbers as the CF16 apex and I like the apex name better. compare these to the PXG 0311X which is about same price
This nigga must have just passed an exam cause he's got ticks all over the gaff.
I think the back of the head looks awful, cheap, tacky, classless, ugly!
Seriously, Rick? The standard Epics start at $2000 a set. Then add your hybrids. For that price, they'd better make me swing and play like Lydia Ko. But they won't because we know you can't buy a swing. So no thanks, I'll pass on these. I'll keep my 4 year old Cobras. I doubt the technology in these will help my game that much.
Great summary Rick. ??
Sounds too much like a sales pitch to me.
How much is Callaway paying for this?
i think they look awful- really cheap looking in my opinion
and if i had the money i would not buy these- if had money would go out and buy ben hogens or something but
but ugly irons
