Anyone satisfied with Irons a YEAR or older?

[jimb6golf]

Still playing Callaway Razr X irons and have for the past several years (they must be 4-5 years old) and am very happy with their performance. Probably going to look to upgrade next year but for now I'm still very happy with them.

[mwink822]

I'm going on year number two with my 714MB and still absolutely love them.

[cphrey]

Still lovin my SLDR irons...great sticks, should stay in the bag for a while. Now I just need to be a better golfer.

[Galanga]

I have a year in with my MP-64s. I did put in MP FLI-Hi for 3 and 4 iron and MP-5 for 5 iron. No complaints. Love them.

[Chooki12]

IMO i think there is only so much tech you can put into a player's iron. I still use r7 TP's 4-W, with KBS Tour Stiff Shafts.

I've wanted to buy new irons but never tested anything that is overwhelmingly better.

[Chooki12]

You're not supposed to change your irons every time you change your underwear!

Welcome to WRX. You'll fit in well here.

Covert Forged 2.0's for me. Actually left them for AP2's, then went back. Going to buy a set to throw in the closet for when these are worn out. When nearly every Golf publication ranks a Nike club as the iron of the year you know they're special. Real deal Nippon 950 GH and you can find them for around $400.

[pierso2]

Adams XTD Forged or Callaway Razr X for me. Also looking at building my set of Nike Vr Pro Combos.

[trapsmv15]

Were my Speedblades made in 2014? Honestly, I don't even have a clue........

But every iron made now is just about equal as far as quality goes. Golf clubs are a dime a dozen in a good way, IMO. Let's you not feel guilty about choosing most off looks and feel, which is what matters anyway.

[kylemd]

Mp29 blades from 1997. Third set. Also have ta1 satin tour heads from 2001, and ta1 gunmetals from 2000. Still awesome.

[MrFlapjack]

Irons need a "Best Before" date stamped on the hosel of each club. That would make it easier to know when to upgrade...

[lsf_21]

Still loving my CMBs.

[Kratus977]

Got my G25's two February's ago. Still going strong and haven't found anything to replace them, yet.

[bananaezgo]

J40cb's. I have been eyeing the new Hogan's though:)

[pearsonified]

I'm surprised these haven't been mentioned in this thread yet, but the Adams MB2s from 2011/2012 are some of the best irons ever made.

Incredible feel, three killer finishes (including raw), and sole grinds that cut through turf like buttah? Moar plz.

It's a shame that Adams has now more or less gone the way of the dodo...they had it goin' on for a few years there.

[Dukefan1]

Have played the Ping S55 since they came out and they are not going anywhere.

[b_smith07]

Still game Ping i5's or Adams CB1's...what's this new stuff??? Lol

[JumboJack]

I don't think I could play any better than I do with my Rocketbladez Tour's..

[pdaero]

MP32s going on 7.5 years! Love them just as much as when I got them. Only thing I might do at some point is change the shafts.

[VA golfer]

Still Using Callaway XHot Pro Irons. Great iron! It could be the Aldila RIP 115 shafts. I think I could put these shafts into any Iron and hit them great.

[jtl0101]

Callaway x hot pros here also. Great iron for me that will stay in the bag for at least one more year.

[abarkley]

Traded for a set of I20 irons earlier this year. I'm pretty happy with my setup.

Starting my second year with 714 AP2 and still loving them.
[/quote]

Same here. I just love the 714 AP2s to the point I don't even care what the 716s will look like. These just fit me so well.
FYI...I said the same thing about my Mizuno JPX800 Pro's too and switched after the second season for no reason. This time I mean it though.

[Parker0065]

I've never bought a set of irons I didn't play for at least 3-4 seasons or else I wouldn't have bought them in the first place! I guess what I'm saying is I've never demo'd and bought a set of irons I didn't like and hit well so there was never any reason to switch after one season or a few rounds.
There is a "break in" period for most when switching equipment. For myself it's about 2 months or roughly 10-12 rounds before I really start feeling 100% comfortable and confident in them. I bought a new set of Bridgestone J40 CB's at the very end of last year and got about 5 rounds in before the winter hit. This Spring I've put in another 6 rounds on them and the last two rounds(72, 74) their starting to really click.

Perhaps people in that situation of wanting/needing to switch after a short time bit off more than they could chew in regards to player ability versus club forgiveness! Buy what you want but make sure it fits your game. I know, I know, everyone wants those shiny new blades or players clubs,,,,,,,but!!!!

[OldBag]

mine are going on 14 years (Precept Tour Premium CB's). fell in love with them in the early 2000's. this is my 3rd set. found my current set on ebay brand new still in the box in 2010 for $200 shipped. i really have no desire to change, although those new Ben Hogan Ft Worth irons look pretty sweet

Still rocking the i20's, I know only a product cycle old, but they feel better than the i25's. Won't switch unless there is a big upgrade with the i30's.
[/quote]I'm in the same boat, now in third season with i20's and seeing no reason to change right now. Really looking forward to new i30 or Anser release, if they listen to WRXer's they could have a really sweet iron. Like you, I didn't see anything better at all with the i25s.

[riehlg]

I've been playing the Cobra AMP Forged for over a year. I see no reason to change them as of now. They're still in good shape and I love the way they feel and perform. They aren't going anywhere for at least another year.

[jvalhalla]

I bought a mint set of King Cobra UFIs that I played for a few years...then I joined this site. I'm on my third set since then. My last two, JPX-825s and MP-59s I intend on keeping for years...or so I hope.

[cardoustie]

Still loving my s55's
