sirchunksalot Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) It's such a hard question to answer as there are so many I love the look of. Cobra Forged Tec X, my current gamers are sexy to me. The Mizuno lineup has had so many such as the aforementioned MP-32, the JPX 921 Forged hold a special place in my heart, and the 241's are money Those Miura x Greyson are fire! Srixon's ZX lineup are sexy along with their fraternal twins that Cleveland came out with this year. Edit: I forgot to mention how sexy the Edel SMS irons are, especially the 4 iron.

Havent ever hit them but i saw a sample head set at a golf show and was in love till i saw the price of like 200$+ per club and quickly walked away.

Starting to feel like myself again and recently played a “okay” round. I currently have custom fit Cobra LTDx irons/wedges, a Vokey 60(cause my short game has been the best part of my game, and a Maverick 9 deg. Driver. Driving is the worst part of my game so My 4 iron usually takes alot of the long game abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyjudge Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 On 2/7/2024 at 10:56 AM, CorporateGolfRat said: HAHA Ping hosels have always been a mystery to me. Not sure why they have maintained that indented shape. Those look good! Ping introduced those notched hosels many years ago to make it easier to bend the clubs, particularly for adjusting lie angles. Although Ping has always recommended that owners of their irons return the clubs to Ping HQ for any necessary adjustments, they did condone adjustments by their licensed independent fitters (I was one of them for more than 15 years). Even with the notch, most Ping irons have always been a real “bear” to bend, even by just a degree.

That “rumor” is not a rumor at all, it is the real reason for the notch. Ping iron heads have always been among the most difficult to bend and the notch does make bending somewhat easier. It shouldn’t be as much of a factor with forged irons, but in the past Ping irons were manufactured from cast stainless steel that was an absolute brute to bend.
