What is everyones favorite new irons?


BirdieBoyz2

Recommended Posts

I’m like the window shopper. Will go to Golf Galaxy and play around with clubs. The Ping G410 are real deal. I compared them to the Srixon 585 (loved the look, could shape left or right, short distance though) and Callaway Apex (ball rockets off, spraying it all over the place). The G410 were good distances with very consistent ball flight and dispersion. Just upgraded driver, wedge and putter, so will shelve these ideas until maybe next year

What's your handicap and what do you currently play?  I recently went through a rather long process of deciding on new irons - including two iron fittings.  I hit Mizuno, Callaway, Taylormade, PING, and KZG. GI and SGI category irons best match my game.  It was down to the Mizuno JPX900 or PING G410.  Having played PE2's for over 30 years gave the nod to a company whose product had treated me so well for such a long time. It's been said PING is one of only a few major companies that cares more about making golfers better than making money.  I'm really liking the G410's and feel I made the best decision.  Good luck with the search.

Hehe, I read how you tested every different iron known to man , then decided on the ping 410’s.., and I though, hmm, seems fair...

then I looked at your sig and saw that every stick in your bag is a Ping...

a little biased in your selection possibly?

and don’t get me wrong, I love my LST...

While I did test a bunch, it's not even a fraction of every iron available... and I'm only talking the well known brands. It's both great and overwhelming we have so many options these days.  I openly admitted it was the 30+ year marriage to my PE2's that gave the nod to the G410's over the Mizuno's.  The G410 driver was a bonus (THANKS AGAIN MGS!!), and, not wanting to break up perfect match, a used G400 3w seemed appropriate 😉 .

Ping makes some good stuff eh?

love their drivers and Woods, but irons, not so much. Just not a match to my swing.

i used mizzie for years, then tried others and was all over the map. Now back, and loving it...

Anyone preorder the new p790s? I’ve hit them a few times, and must say they are amazing irons. The distance and forgiveness is insane! I’m not sure I feel too much of a difference with the new vss technology in the shaft, but that could just be me. The weight of the head is great, it feels like you can identify where the club head is throughout the swing, which is great for working the ball. Somehow hit a 233 yard 7 iron on the gcquad...stupid long.

I’ve been playing the 919 Hot Metal with the flihi 5 & 6 hybrid. Really like them. Handicap is 18, played about 10 rounds with them, several in the 80’s. Been playing about 2 years. Came from ping g’s which I liked, these are more forgiving and I love the wedges.

I’ve been playing Ping i irons for a few years and have just started looking for a change so borrowed a mixed set of Mizuno 919 hot metal and 919 forged. I love them but the gap between the 7 and 8 iron is just too big. I like the looks of the forged better but the hot metal suit my game better.

You pretty much need two 7 irons to blend those irons or get them bent to cut down the gap. 

Im a bit biased but I liked the g400 last year and finally broke down and got the g410 this year. Callaway apex were surprisingly forgiving in the hands of this 14ish handicap followed next by the hot metal. I should have asked to hit the 919 forged during my fitting but I already hit 5 different heads and then needed to confirm shafts.

I just ordered Mizuno MP20 HMBs.  I hit all the new MPs, the JPX919 Forged,  and the Hot Metals. I also hit the Ping G410s and the Titleist T100, T200 and T300. The 4 forged Mizunos felt the best to me. The MP 20 muscle back wasn't forgiving enough for my skill level. The MMC, HMB and 919 Forged were pretty much the same on good swings with the MMC sounding and feeling worse on bad swings.  I like the look of the HMBs more than the  919s, so I went with them. 

14 of the following:

Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree

Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees

Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees

Callaway Epic Max 11 wood

I tired the t300 yesterday and almost left the store with them.. I really need a handler when I go to the golf store.

I’m holding off to try the new Mizuno mp20 HMB’s. I tried last years model and they were great but really want to try the new ones.

I tend to over research things and that is my one concern with the hmb’s they are sort of a game improvement iron but not a full on gi.

The t300 were amazing.. but I don’t want to jump on anything until the madness of the new club releases happen in the spring.

Makes sense. In addition to the new releases by Titleist and Mizuno.   PING will have the G710 and Cobra has the Forged Tec and of course Callaway and TM will have new irons they haven't said anything about yet.

I love the Mizuno stuff. It is awesome. The HMBs in the long irons are great. I feel as the clubs get shorter they start to launch too high and I cannot control them as much. It would be great to get somekind of flow set. HMB 3 thru 5'ish. Then MBs the rest of the way down.

That's pretty much what they did with the SEL (Special Edition Lefties),   Its HMB 3-4 and MB 5-PW,   this set is insanely good.  I have seen many right handers just replicate the SEL config or similar (like going 3-5 HMB, etc)

True, blended and mixed sets are getting/have been very popular. I usually end up wishing I had gone straight through with something. but in this cas the HMBs and MP20 MBs look so similar I would be happy.
