Best looking irons


Jiro

Recommended Posts

If you are like me you like looking at and reading about new irons but don't necessarily get to demo all of them. So I'll throw out a question based purely on aesthetics without considering what is necessarily best for your game.

What is your favorite looking iron right now (current models only)? Let's break it down by category: blade/MB, Players, GI/SGI.

 

I'll get it started:

For MB I'll go with Mizuno MP-5

For Players I'll go Srixon Z765

For GI I'll go Bridgestone JGR CB forged

 

(Yeah, I like the Japanese styles I guess).

I really like the 716 MB's and CB's. I can't stand the look of GI irons. But since all of the clubs now a days are "game improvement" irons... I'll go with:

 

Ping iBlade for players/MB it's a twofer, I love the minimal branding.

 

Titleist AP1's for GI... I guess.

The iron that I will shoot the lowest score with is the best looking for me.

Love my MP 5s but if I did all again the J15 MB and CB would be at the top of the list

Last throwback thread for today.

I would say my rusty 659s, but that would be a lie. I love them however they are not the best looking. 

There are so many options and truly a dog fight for what is the best. For 2023 the new Cobra line is likely going to get my vote, with the Titleist T-100 and T-100s be right there with them. Of course the Mizuno Pro series is stellar... ahh just too many to pick from. 

Looking forward to what you all think!

Irons just don't do too much for me.   To my eye, unless I am switching between players, GI, and SGI they all look basically the same.  Subtle differences yes,  but not enough to make me think one is superior to another until you look at the cavity and then I want a simple basic cavity back.    I guess that is why I like my irons

These are amazing. I played with a set of these when I first turned professional. Also had a set that had "the Standard" blanked out. Green victory grips. Clean as clean could be!

There are so many options and so many stunning looking irons... but anything recent which you may feel has taken the top spot for best looking iron?

I do not possess the skills to use them, and I may be biased with the irons, but I really like the looks of the Mizuno 223 irons. Can’t even really explain why, they just look good to my eye. A close second would be the Titleist T100.

I love Mizuno, used to have some MX-20's and they were smooth! The 223's are beautiful. I'm currently gaming the 716 AP2's and recently tested the T100's. I was not impressed with how they felt at all. I hope Titleist redesigns them as I've had other friends complain about the feel of them as well.

Everyone has different taste, but mine have stayed very similar over the years. 

I still love the Cobra Amp cell pro.

I love black irons

Something about ping i series just seems classic up me. 

The new Titleist 100 and 150 are as close to perfection as possible.

Fully agree with your eye on black irons (usually always get my wedges in black) and the Titleist irons. I have always liked the way the player and player distance Titleist look. Funny I haven’t played them in over a decade. 

Play like a champion today!
