In our forums, our members have been helping out GolfWRX member ‘MtlJeff’ in his hunt for new irons. ‘MtlJeff’ wants a new set of irons as a luxury purchase and says:
“I want new irons. I don’t NEED new irons I just want them. I also can’t get fit because of Covid. This is a luxury purchase. Please don’t tell me to get fitted. This is a luxury purchase. I basically have it narrowed down to:
1) Callaway Apex Pro ’21: I feel like these are too small for me. I’m a little concerned about playing the 4-5 irons.
2) Srixon ZX5/7 combo set: They look nice, but not crazy about the ZX5 loft bunching at the bottom, they have 3 irons in a 4 degree gap. Plus no gap wedge in lefty….ehh. Not good
2) Mizuno JPX921 SEL: Seems to make sense on paper. Loft spacing is nice. Forgiveness in the long irons and a gap wedge in lefty
3) TMAG P770: These are my favorite right now. I hear they are slightly bigger than the Callaways. They look really sexy with the blade-ish design…And TMAG has the best shaft offering, for example, I really want to try Modus 130s, and they are a free shaft with the P770s
So basically….Can anyone convince me not to get the TMAGs?”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the subject.
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.
- XHoop24: “The 770s are an awesome looking iron. I’ve heard ‘feel’ is just ok and maybe not Mizuno soft but I can’t comment on that personally. I’d 100% combo with a 790 4 iron. Would be an awesome set of clubs. Honestly, couldn’t go wrong with any of those options.”
- short and straight: “Pull a Fleetwood and mix it up. You’ll be more intimidating. I say older generation long irons from Srixon (4-5?), 770’s 5 or 6-P. Get a non-set gap wedge, and make sure it does not match your sand and lob. No one will want to play you for money.”
- mizuno player: “I’m a Mizuno guy, so it’s hard to argue against that. But I will. The Apex pros look awesome, and I’ll bet they feel pretty darn good too. You can always get the regular Apex in the 4-5 and go Pro in the rest of the set.”
- the bishop: “Do me a solid and try the W/S Staff Model CB’s. I play right-handed, but they are available in LH for you, and you can help me out with a buying decision. Thanks in advance.”
