Name every set of irons you've owned

[mantan]

I am going to consider irons I kept for a bit and and not the golfer equivalent of a one night stand

 

Lynx Black Cat Irons clones - First set of irons I bought to learn how to play with.

Tommy Armour 845 OS - The first real set when I realized playing that clones were not good

Mizuno MX-23 w/Rifle shafted - One of the absolute best set of irons I owned. This was before Rifle was bought by True Temper.

Ping ISI- Nice set of irons

PING i5 - Absolute fantastic set of PINGs. Even when I moved on, I kept these as a 'backup set' for while'

Cleveland TA5 - found a gunmetal set of these on eBay. Still love the dark metal look. a set of PING 710 may be in my future someday

Hogan Apex Edge - Absolute great set of forged cavity back irons. I hated that Hogan got bought and stripped to the core by Callaway.

Wishon 560MC - I had a Rifle set of these built. They are up there with among the most forgiving best feeling irons I've owned. Let myself feel like I needed to go back to OEM irons for no good reason. Could have played these a long time.

Ping G25 - Point and shoot irons. These are placed now my current full time backups

JPX EZ Forged (orange and black version) - flashback to the gunmetal. Love the color, good irons

Srixon 565 (currently playing) - Softer feeling that JPX EZ forged. As forgiving as many of the sets I've played in the past. Got them last year and played the best golf of my life with them.

[Nels55]

After 44 years there is no way that I can remember all of them. LOL every set was put into play with the intention of lowering my scores. Some raised my scores and I suppose that the end set is better for my scoring then the first set but a lot of sets were no different from the previous. I wonder if anyone has shot lower scores right away or even after some time with a new set?

Here is what I can remember or I currently have in my garage:

Some sort of old blade irons when I was a kid.

Off brand fiber glass shafted irons

Hogan blades.

Ralph Maltby blade style with the weight port in the back that I cut my teeth on doing component club assembly.

Monterey Bay cast cavity back clubs, MICs or something like that I played pretty well with those.

Wilson Staff blades that I reshafted with TT Light S shafts. LOL those were not good...

Several different Dyacraft, Maltby and Golfsmith sets

A set of John Riley irons which were pretty decent.

A single length set that I made out of some ugly cavity back component clubs. I did a lot heating, bending and grinding on those to get them in spec and they were terrible.

A set of F2 irons that I reshafted multiple times probably making them worse every time.

Orlimar irons that I also reshafted a couple of times.

Jerry Barber Golden Touch shank resistant irons.

Two sets of Hogan Apex blades.

A really old set of MacGregor blades.

The F2s reconfigured to Bryson DeChambeau spec. That was a lot of work and were the only single length set I put together that worked at all. Super ugly though...

Ping G2s converted to single length doing a lot of heating, bending and grinding. I used the weight ports to weight the longer irons and they were built to spec very nicely at 70 degrees upright and 264 grams and they looked decent. Played like crap no matter what shaft I put in them.

Callaway Preowned for the next few sets:

Mizuno JPX 825.

2 sets of XHot irons.

CF16s which worked pretty well.

Currently gaming PXG Gen one irons with Macdaddy wedges all with Steelfiber i110 S shafts. By far the best irons I have every played. My index is still 10 though...

[MattyO1984]

I am not a huge changer when it comes to irons (and don’t feel that old quite yet so I haven’t had the chance to chop and change too much) so my irons would be as follows:-

Pinseeker - 5, 7 and 9 iron which were blades from a junior set. Over the years, I added to them with individual clubs which were a Ogre Masters 3, 4 and 6 iron and a Ben Sayers 8 iron. I also added in a sand wedge but what brand that was is totally beyond me.

Dunlop DDH Tour - 3 to SW and that was the first full set that I ever bought. They were supposed to be a Christmas present but I got them a couple of months early and loved them, felt so smart having a full set that matched all the way through.

Titleist 990B - I was a not bad junior but with the benefit of hindsight, I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. I did play some pretty decent golf with these eventually but the first year I had them, I totally plateaued and made no progress at all.

Titleist AP2 - The original AP2. I was in need of an upgrade, the biggest difference I noticed with this set was with the long irons being that much easier to hit that the 990B’s. The short irons were also that bit longer.

Titleist 714 AP2 - The best set of irons that I ever had. They were at least half a club if not a club longer than the original AP2’s that I had and felt great.

Titleist T100 - I am sure hoping that these do turn out to be the best set of irons that I have ever had. In terms of performance, I must admit that the performance is pretty similar to my 714’s but in an even more pleasing package which is saying something as to my eye, the 714’s were a good looking club.

My first set, when I took up golf on my 30th birthday was the Callaway x18R. Then I moved into Mizuno a couple years later. Oh boy. JPX 800 Pro, then MP-59, then MP-25, then MP-18SC, and now the MP-20MMC.

My 1st set was a put-down set my grandfather made for me in ~'74. Don't remember the name

1st clubs purchased were Ram Gene Littler from Austad when I was in HS (~'78/79).

Then 1st "real set" Wilson staff irons & persimmon woods (still have the 3 woods) in ~82/83.

Next Titleist Box Blades...used for ~10 years in 80s to 90s

Bought TM Tour Preferred irons around the time got my 1st Burner metalwood (maybe 95/96?)

Titleist DCI from early 2000s...played 10-12 years

Mizuno MP-64s...2015-18. Just couldn't get feel for them. Gave to brother

Back to Titleist, AP3s in 2018
