Not Titleist Irons For The First Time in Twenty-Four Years

Back in the day I played Wilson Staff blades and the moved to Titleist in 1997.  I have played nothing but Titleist irons since 1997 but that is now changing.  

I traded in my Titleist irons on Thursday and bought my first NEW set of irons in over forty years!

I hit Titleist T100S, Mizuno JPX921 Forged, Mizuno MP-20, Srixon ZX-7, and some used Miura irons.  My observations:

  • The Titleist, Mizunos, and Srixon irons were all very close in distance and grouping but the JPX921 Forged edged the others slightly
  • The Miura irons were interesting.  The first shot I hit was amazing in feel but the others were slightly off the sweet spot and did not feel good.
  • The Mizunos both had great feel but the Titleist and Srixons were very close behind.

At the end I walked out with the JPX921 Forged irons.  For the first time in twenty-four years Titleist irons will not be in my bag (except my Vokey SM8 wedges).

Change is hard but I am excited to get out this weekend and see how they work for me on the course.

Congrats on the new irons! The Forged are tough to beat with their position perfectly between a player’s club, and a GI club. Feel, performance, and looks are all there! Enjoy.

Great choice on the irons... and everything else you have in your bag! Every piece is new and shiny top of the line equipment.

i don’t think I’ve ever said this here, but I got a severe case of bag envy looking at your signature. I would play your set up in a New York minute (different shafts though, lol). Enjoy the hell out of them, my man!

You have to start posting in the CHA thread, or as I like to call it, the @Golfspy_CG2 diary.😇

 I think you’ll fit right in with the rest of us....
