Nharvey20 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hello all! This is my first unofficial review and might I say do I have a great product to be starting off with. I just recently went to get fitted for some new irons this past week and going in had a couple of ideas of what I wanted. These included the P series irons from Taylormade (including P790 and P770), Titleist T200, and Srixon ZX5. Coming from the Titleist T100s (2021), I was looking for increased ball speed, consistency, increased yardage, all while maintaining a sleek profile and a good feeling club. Starting off with the JPX 923 Forged, I was blown away. So forgiving, so sleek, and a great feel (fully forged). Has the cavity back look which I am not very much a fan of. Used this more so for testing shafts and lengths. After finding the shaft that fit me well (Project X IO stiff), we moved into some other heads that I was interested in. The only one that performed well enough for my liking aside from the 923 forged was the Srixon ZX5. Great feel with a beautiful look and great forgiveness. Finishing up I was pretty set on the JPX Forged, until my fitter said “I have one I would like to throw in the mix”. I had previously told him to throw anything in that he wanted to because I dont really feel tied down to any brands. He throws in the 245, a sleek looking blade style, hollow body design. This design is the same specs as the JPX Forged, just a little more compact which I was okay with. I stepped up and striped one with a 7 iron about 179 yards carry. Mind you my current 7 iron only flies around 163. I was shocked. The 245 has incredible feel to go with its outstanding looks. I was getting great launch and spin numbers and my smash factor was up into 1.38 which I had not reached with my current 7 iron at all. Overall I had an amazing experience with my fitter Cameron Marks. I cannot wait to get these in the bag. I ended up going with a combo set in the 4/5 in the JPX Forged and 6-P in the 245 with Project X IO 110 g stiff shafts extended 0.5 inches and bent 1 degree upright. I will have updates coming soon. Thanks and I hope you enjoyed. cksurfdude, BreakfastBall15, GolfSpy_APH and 3 others 5 1 Quote WITB: Taylormade Stealth Driver (Fujikura Ventus Blue 6s) Titleist T100s/T200 combo set (4-5,6-48) Ping DS 72 putter.

BreakfastBall15 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I demoed the 245 a few weeks ago and LOVED them. The looks (might be the best looking irons out there) the feel, the performance… everything about them was awesome. With all that being said I didn’t feel there was any substantial improvement from my gamers to justify speeding $1200 on them. After a few product cycles of in can find a good deal on a used set I’ll be sure to grab them. cksurfdude 1 Quote Driver: PXG Black Ops, Ventus Blue 6X Fairways: PXG 0311 XF Gen 5 3 and 5 wood, Project X Riptide CB 6.0 Hybrid: PXG 0311 XF Gen 5 22 degree, Project X Riptide 6.0 Irons: PXG 0311P Gen 5 5-PW, Project X LS 6.5 Wedges: PXG SG2 50, 56(55), Modus 125 Wedge; PXG SG 2 60, KBS 130 Wedge Putter: TaylorMade Spider GT Red SB Ball: Maxfli Tour S MGS Star Grip Review: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/63328-star-grips-2024-forum-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swaggy_H8 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I haven't hit the 245s but I have a set of 225s. They are a very nice look iron. More forgiving than one would realize also. The forged face is incredibly hot, even on mishits the ball still travels relatively close to a pure strike. I have the Nippon 1150 GH Tour X in my 225s.
