I have added my aesthetics and finished my first impressions. To summarize, I like them so far... The top line could do with some refining though...

Right folks, I have added my first impressions and I will be adding aesthetics tomorrow.

I managed to get a round in with the Haywood's today. I'm not going to do a blow by blow but a couple of things stood out. First off, when you hit these well, they feel very nice. A good solid feeling, with a pleasant sound. When I didn't hit them well, there was a definite drop off in distance but there was more forgiveness there than I expected. The sole seems to interact with the turf very well, in and out in a flash. Also, I hit a full 4 iron from the long rough and it flew straight and true to the green 181 yards away. The one downside is that I seem to be half a club shorter from 4 to 7 iron and a full club shorter from 8 to PW.

For me the soles are not too dissimilar to the Titleist's, just a bit sharper. They are definitely longer though... Haywood on the left

These are some highlights from my first range session. I hit all 7 of the clubs and I also hit a few with my T100S PW and T200 4 iron, to give a comparison. First off, when you flush these clubs, they feel solid but soft. Sort of a confidence inspiring feeling. Off centre hits can definitely be felt but are nowhere as harsh as I thought they might be. Again this is all range balls, so distance is down This was an example of the Haywood PW. Being a pure blade, the distance is down on the Titleist. The 4 irons I won't even show because the T200s are a players DISTANCE design, so it wasn't even close. One thing I will say, is the Haywood's love a nice smooth swing and I can't wait to get them on the course.

I have only been able to do one range session so far and honestly, I couldn't feel or hear any real difference between the CB and MB irons.

I have added a wee unboxing for you all https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/63187-haywood-cbmb-irons-2024-forum-review/?do=findComment&comment=1025661

I may be miles from home but the view from the office is not bad...

My irons have arrived And I am 250 miles away!!

I have had some great news; my clubs are being delivered tomorrow (Monday in NZ)!! Unfortunately, I am going away for work for a couple of days, so I won't see them till I get home on Wednesday .

Man I love these!! Tie Breaker 1 - The cut will be +1 Tie Breaker 2 - The low amateur will be Stewart Hagestad Here are the wedges chosen for me... 50.08 F 54.10 S 58.08 M

It's always a good sign when new clubs make you wax lyrical . Nice write up and great pictures. See your stuff is keeping my excitement on the boil!! Are you having any issues with the smaller soles? Any digging or trouble getting through the turf?

That is one of the most interesting things for me in this test. I am putting these minimal tech, forged and milled irons up against muscle channels, tungsten weights and fully forged faces. If the Haywood's can keep up with the Titleist's, then that is a big step towards a permanent place in my bag. It is not a deal breaker but I don't want to lose too much distance.

The main difference between my current gamers and the Haywood irons will be the shafts. As I have said before, I went for lighter, higher launching shafts to give myself more spin and stopping power. Also, I can't give the bounce specs for the T100S irons, because Titleist don't provide them. They don't believe it's necessary for irons

Here are the specs for the Titleists I have (from 5 iron)... And here are the Haywood specs... The lofts for the Haywood irons have been changed to the same as the T100S irons, so the bounce will be a couple of degrees smaller.

I'm loving what the team are posting and it has me positively vibrating with excitement and anticipation to get going with mine . Unfortunately this is the update I got today...

Looking great guys, can't wait till mine arrive

Yes, I am still enjoying these wedges very much. They are still performing so consistently every round, even when my swing is not at its best. I am planning on getting some numbers for these in the next week now that I have the Garmin to play with.

So, I'm not jealous at all . Mine are not due till Wednesday next week at the earliest. Ah the joy of living at the bottom of the world

I paid $450 for a Rife Two Bar Hybrid back in 2008, which was more than a driver back then. I still game it so I guess I have gotten my monies worth out of it. I would do it again too.

Congrats testers, these putters look unique, futuristic and just plain cool!! If they perform half as good as they look as they look, you're all going to have a blast

Congrats testers, I look forward to seeing what these look like and do for you all.

It's ok, Memphis is the FedEx world hub

Patience young Padawan, the new toys will be there soon . Besides it could be worse, mine are actually 671 miles further away

With the clubs on the way and the excitement building, I went out and tried my new toy. I have kept the numbers in yards and I was using range balls. I have to say, I am impressed with the Garmin and it is going to be a very useful tool.
