Popular Post bens197 Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2020 They arrived today while I was home from work...My wife was able to see me do a happy dance on the front porch from the Ring camera...she laughed, I was happy...win win. I played the Ft. Worth's from 2018-2019 so I have some familiarity with the product. My setup is PTx combo with the UiHi 22* 4 iron. I'd like to just offer a few first impressions. #1) A mixed / blended iron set that accommodates a better player who needs some forgiveness in their game is LONG OVERDUE. There are so many good players who would benefit from a true mixed / combo set of irons. These irons look like they were designed and manufactured to truly complement each other. #2) The blending of the UiHi into the PTx Pro into the Icon's is very well done. There is a lot of symmetry between the heads with subtle differences at address. The UiHi has slightly more offset than the Ft. Worth HI irons with a little more mass at the top. I'll leave it at that for now.

Popular Post Erik-M Posted July 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2020 So, first round in, the sound of these blades are fantastic. They are the dullest amazing sounding irons ever! They were going close to 10 yards further then my ap2s. Nice high straight to 1 yard fades all day! Hit a6 iron from 174 into the wind, hit 3 yards past the pin and stopped on a dime. (Made the putt!) I had a tough time with the 4 iron. Hit out on the toe, the groove less part, and the feel wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but lost a lot of distance. Need to dial strike in on 4 and 5 irons. With my ap2s my max on a pitching wedge prefectly struck was 140, and would usually pull 9 iron on a140 shot. However with these I had a149 pin and flew it just past on high and pulled it back a few feet, missed that putt however. So far off the bat very pleased.
