Donn lost in San Diego Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Is it a free for all among the iron brands or is there a leader? Years ago, Ping Eye 2, Ping Zing, Zing 2 were dominant. More recently, Callaway Apex? Titleist is often #1, right? Does anybody know now if there is an iron in use by at least 25% of PGA Tour? I am just curious, I am not going to chase. I like my Ping I 500. But I would trade them in for old Ping Eye if I could stay injury free for 2 years. #1 PXG 0211 10.5 deg, Evnflo Riptide CB 40 gram A flex. 3W: Callaway Steelhead Xr, Tensei Blue CK 55 gram A flex. 5W : Titleist TSi 1, Aldila Ascent 40 regular flex.

sixcat Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Equipment played on the PGA Tour (and even elite amateur golf) is largely marketing. Guys play what they are paid exorbitant amounts of money to play. Link to comment
bens197 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Framed another way, which iron dominates among players who are not under contract... You'd likely see a lot of the JPX Mizuno line as well as the newer Srixon ZX-7 line. When Nike went out of business, several of their players went agnostic and played the ridiculously good JPX 900's.

Yes titleist is typically number 1 on tour and of that the AP2 was the one that’s played the most and now it’s the t100 Link to comment
