Jiro Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 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).

Shankster Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 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.

GolfSpy_APH Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 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.

cnosil Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 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 Jim Shaw, Rob Person, sirchunksalot and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: Paradym AI Smoke Max HL 16.5* w/MCA TENSEI AV Series Blue Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Render w/VA Composites Baddazz Backup Putters: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe, Milled Collection RSX 2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParFore74x Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 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.

I'm currently gaming the 716 AP2's and recently tested the T100's. I was not impressed with how they felt at all.
