Game improvement iron blade wide and long?


topspark

Recommended Posts

Hello gents

Trying to get some ideas on a game improvement iron, not sgi, that has a blade that is wide and longer in length.

Something that does not have a large offset or thick sole.

I have tried nearly everything, but cannot find something to suit.

As odd as it may seem, I recently tried a very old PowerBilt tps 6.0.

Apart from the obvious distance control, it seemed to suit my game.

Any thoughts on something new that has a similar blade?

Maltby MMB-17 comes to mind or in you dont mind low offset cavity back the TE Forged. I have built up demos in both and actually preferred the TE over the MMB.

Check out the Wishon Sterlings. You can build them up in a non SL fashion I believe. They're roughly AP2 in width and top line but have a longer blade length.

Yep, Bridgestone J40 DPC if you can find a set. Took mine out yesterday after playing my CB57 half set the last few weeks....I forgot just how forgiving those Bridgestones are while providing a super thin top line for a GI club and blade-like offsets.

I just started gaming Wilson F5 irons. They’re a player/GI crossover, and seem close to your description.

Β 

I also like these irons since the lofts are not jacked up.

Now looking strongly at a set of JPX hotmetal or maybe the cobra f7 or Forged TEC.

Any thoughts or comparisons?

Also , traditionally always had a 4 to pw, but now thinking of doing away with the 4 and using a hybrid?

Has anyone recently gone thru that?

Β 

I've ditched the 4 iron, which is my set was 23 or 24*, and I have replaced with a second hybrid, which is 25*.

Β 

Money for me with the right shaft.
