Today from the Forums we take a look at a discussion on irons amongst 10+ handicappers. Our members discuss the irons they use to help them get the best out of their game and the reasons why they plumped for the type of irons they did.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- luckypolk: “Titleist 718 AP1. Kind of wish I would’ve gone with the AP3s or Srixon Z585s at the time. Definitely getting new sticks this year. Waiting for the Ping G410 replacements, new Srixon line, and new Mizuno JPX line. Will test those along with Cobra King Forged Tec and probably Titleist T200. I do like a longer blade length since my miss is toe side. Not too picky about top line or offset. I do need some forgiveness though and need to keep good spin because I’m a low launch player. Not really looking for distance. Launch, spin, and dispersion will decide my new set.”
- Marco Colo: “Currently playing in high 15 and playing CB with a lot of satisfaction from January. Came from GI irons.”
- agolf1: “Above 10 I would play GI/SGI. But I would also play GI/SGI down to at least 5. Contrary to popular belief, most double digits HCs do not have a consistent swing (whether different clubs make a material difference in the shots is up for debate). I also think some of this depends on swing speed and what type of height you can get out of more traditional or players irons.”
- hagimihale: “Play to about a 15 at the moment. Currently playing MP-54, was gaming JPX 825 Pro before that. I guess you’d classify the 54s as a cross between muscleback and slight cavityback. I don’t do well with GI irons, too much offset for me. Added a sweet set of MP-32s off of BST this year to play around with. I like knowing when (and how) I miss it, and golf is less about score and more about the feel of a flushed shot to me.”
- Jard: “13’ish right now but have been on a steady drop the last few years – broke 90 for the first time two years ago and 80 for the first time last year. I got fitted into Z585s at the start of last season but now I’m eying the Z785s for scoring clubs.”
