Player/Distance irons with old school lofts


Remo

Recommended Posts

I'd really like to find a set of modern irons such as Titleist T200s with loft profiles of the Mizuno MP line from 15-20 years ago. 

Specifically, a five iron loft of 27 degrees, six iron at 31, seven iron at 35, eight iron at 39, nine iron at 43, and PW at 47.

Can't find anything new or near new with the above specs.  Older AP2s are about the closest I've found.  Anyone know if I'm overlooking something?

Not looking to buy new clubs and have the lofts bent to weaker specs or to start a loft jacking debate.  Thanks

Not quite as weak as you want but probably as close as you will get with modern players distance irons

The only ones I can think of aren't "players distance" irons.  Titleist MB and CB.  Taylormade TW.  A few DTC brands.  I can't think of any "players distance" irons with a 7 iron loft weaker than 33 degrees.  Ping irons in retro lofts won't fit your criteria because they are bent to the weaker lofts at the factory.

14 of the following:

Taylormade Qi10 Max

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

Titleist TSR1 hybrid 26 degrees

Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW

Ping G430 irons 6-50 degree

Sub 70 286 wedges 52 and 56 degrees

Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53

Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree

Evnroll ER2

Ping Sigma 2 Anser

Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag

TaylorMade Mini Spider

Bridgestone XS

Ping i59 are close in lofts but not players distance irons. More just players irons.

Takomo 101t and Taylormade P770 might work. The P770s seem to split the slot between Players and Players Distance, but they are hollow body.
