Golfspy_CG2 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Such an exciting time of year, more than a handful of irons hitting or about to hit the market. Which one(s) have you reaching for your wallet? Me? it's a tough one, but I'd have to say the Srixon 585/785, closely followed by the PING 210.

txgolfjunkie Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 To take a page from Golf Digest, I'd give the following 'hype' rating for each of the irons: Ping i500: 5 stars. I can barely keep it in my pants. Ping i210: 4.5 stars Mizuno JPX: 3 stars because I'm a lefty and only get a small selection in each of their new lines. Srixon 585: 4 stars Srixon 785: 4.5 stars TM 790 black: 3 stars... Because they went cheap with the finish and they'll wear out faster than the benchmark that is Cobra.

GB13 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I like the P790 looks off the rack but durability is a big turnoff for me. If you want me to pay $1399, I would expect a high quality finish. You can get forged high quality finish Cobras for $899.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Srixon really intrigues me because the only thing I didn't like about my 745 irons was that they had such a wide sole.

B81Smith Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I could probably live with any of those sets. I haven't hit them yet but I hit last years i200's the 7 iron black dot standard everything with x100ys I was 194, 191, 193 carry. So I hope with the i21's they'd reduce offset and reading spec sheet it appears they did. I need to give Srixon a try. As crazy as it sounds I want to get away from forged and get something cast out of hard steel. I'm tired of lofts and lies getting out of wack and having to always get them tweaked.

RickyBobby_PR Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I hope they don't mess up the 730's. My guess is with the amount of protos on tour right now they build off that feedback. I hold like to see them move to 18-24 month cycle on the entire p series and while it's hard to do much with irons that small have the following rekeasss bring enough of an improvement instead of tweaks that usually don't amount to much gain in yearly releases regardless of brand.
