Handicaps 10 - 18 - What type of irons are you playing?

[masspell]

11.4 - Have been playing Titleist 712 CB 4-7 + MB 8-PW w/ PX6.0 shafts; just picked up a set of Mizuno MP-69's, plan on putting them in play post-quarantine with the same shafts pulled from my old Callaway XR's

Moving from GI to players iron has helped my game significantly, dropped 2 strokes last summer and shot my personal best of 81. Practice seems much more efficient and there is a lot more learning to be gained from hitting less forgiving clubs, hopefully the improvement trend continues...

9.4 Playing the Mizuno JPX 919 Forged. I moved to these from MP-54s. Keeping the 54s around for when the form is mid season.

If you need a hand getting that higher than 11 all you need to do is ask. :)

edit: Almost forgot. Finished the summer at 12 so after the winter that means 15. Played Mizuno MP-63 (KBS Tour) since they came out. Switched to PXG 0211 (Steelfiber i95) at the end of last season

[ASak10]

11 here, I've been playing the Apex CF16 irons for the past few years. Love them, thought about getting some new irons this year but decided to keep the Apex in the bag for another season.

[steventoo]

Ha. Trust me... getting it higher isn't a problem at the moment. I don't have the time to play much and I don't practice the right things :(

How do the i95's compare to the KBS Tours? I have the KBS in my T100's (and had them in my 755's before that) but I'm always looking for something new to tinker with...

 

[Twinsgroupie]

I am in the middle of the same switch because I need/want to move to graphite. I found in fitting the i95s as close to KBS Tour as you can get. I am switching from Cobra Tour Forged to PXG 0211.

i am hoping the PXGs get delivered later this week!

I'm currently an 11 index and am playing Titleist 718 AP2 irons with Project X shafts. Great setup for my swing. My Titleist fitter was fantastic, initially I wanted to go to a blended set of CB and MB, but after my fitter put the AP2 in my hand, I was sold. The look is definitely a little chunkier than what I prefer, but I was consistently seeing about 3 to 4 more yards of carry with the AP2 vs the CB and MB.

13 handicap playing Taylormade PSi 4-GW with KBS Tour C-Taper Lite stiff shafts

 

I thought for sure scrolling this entire thread this would be a poplular choice, but doesn't look so.

[Tocgolfer]

11 handicap and titleist 718 ap3 with Tensei pro red AMC

[TaddNOhio]

12 handicap and i game the Ping G25 irons

[Sean2]

Mavrik irons.

[semarlor]

I'm a 12 and I play 718 AP2 5-9 with a T-MB 4 iron and SM7 46, 50, 54, 58. I have a T-MB 3 Iron that I am building (just waiting for the shaft to get here) to replace my hybrid since I seem to hit long irons more consistent than hybrids.

Honestly, I probably should be playing something like AP1 or AP3 even...I don't play nearly as much as I did before kids so I am very inconsistent. More forgiveness may benefit me...but the AP2 are just so damn pretty, lol.

[MooJersey]

I hover between 14-16, I'm playing 718 AP2's.  I just love how they look and feel.

[KimRIP]

I'm an 11.5 right now, have hovered between a 10 - 15 for the last 20 years. went to the P790's 3 (NS Pro S .98)summers ago, but was getting really frustrated with the yardage variances, so put in the 760's (8,9,PW) (NS Pro .98 S). IMHO not the perfect solution as theyre SO different from the P790's. Looking at retooling this part of my bad next year, so thank you for this threat, great to see what everyone is playing. interesting that PXG isn't getting much love. Will definitely be going to graphite shafts.

15.3 index

Playing Scott SG-02 forged irons with KBS C-tapers. Hitting them very well ??

[ObiwanForAll]

New Level 1031

Also played 1026 and 902 but settled on 1031. You won’t find a better combination of feel (fully forged), playability (offsets, sole widths, stronger lofts, heel to toe length), and cost (most about $100 a club right now) than New Level.

I was using P790, Cobra Forged Tec, and Srixon 585 before finding New Level. If you like forged feel but want a game improvement iron that looks NOTHING like a game improvement iron....these things are amazing.

Also, pics don’t do it justice until you hold one. The detail on the milling is crazy. Lots of comments from people I play with.

[bchilders87]

14 HCP

Everyone should give Srixon Z585’s a try, super soft and look great all with great forgiveness and turf interaction

[hanginnwangin]

How are you liking these? I was debating between the Mavrik irons and the Apex 19's. I ended up going with the Apex 19's though.

11 handicapper right now.

[SnapHooker_307]

13.5 handicap, Mizuno JPX-900 Forged irons. Absolutely love them!! Went from a set of Callaway Diablo Forged to these and it really helped keep me from overcooking the ball left.

[jbandalo]

That’s the one thing I like about Mizuno’s as well. My miss is a pull and Mizuno’s by default, sit a little flatter than other oems.

[Maroon_19]

Miz JPX 919 forged 4-P, Cleveland RTX4 52*, Miz S18 56* and 60*

Hovering around 14 but completely forgot how to hit a ball on Wednesday... UGLY...

[Red Wing One]

It’s a shame these companies see no value in producing left handed clubs. ( I’m left handed)

A new start up called Haywood Golf in Vancouver BC Canada produces nice looking hollow body irons in both right and left hand.( check out their web site)

Not too surprising because the ratio of left handed golfers is higher in Canada.....they say it has something to do with hockey players being predominantly left handed.

TXG did a review of the Haywood irons...and They had nothing but praise for them, especially at the low cost...they compared very well with clubs twice their cost. ( check out the review on Utube....search TXG Haywood Golf)

When this CV issue is resolved....I will be going to TXG in Toronto for a fitting, and Haywood will be one of the clubs I’ll be trying!

[jubess]

15 handicap. I’ve been playing PXG GEN3 GI irons with graphite. Just bought a used mint set of Ping G710 with AWT steel. Haven’t hit them yet. Has anyone transitioned from graphite to steel? What were the results?

[bjensen7257]

10.9 index

Srixon 565’s are great.

[mharr]

Cobra F9 Speedback, Fujikura Atmos 6 reg flex.

Had a fitting last year, and reallly liked the Ping G410's, but the Cobra's just had tighter dispersion, so I went with the stats.

[976-Evil]

Mid 80's scorer here, not sure of the actual handicap as I don't know if the SwingU app is correct.

919 Forged though

[BWTgolfer]

Play to a 13 and just got into the PXG 0211. I came from CF16 with Aerotech shafts, but the MMT shafts in the 0211 are just so smooth and not as harsh as the Aerotech shafts are sometimes.

[Kentendo]

I fluctuate between 6 and 8 and have since the late 1990's. I'm still gaming Ping I3 O-size 3-SW. Blue dots plus 1/2" with JZ stiffs. I'm on my 3rd set since 2000 and picked up a brand new set last fall that went into the bag last month.

I have tried to kick them, but I like the look, feel and ball flight of the I3's. I know my distances and have zero reason to change at this point except for new grips every 4 months.

[13jas]

I`m 8 w grass & a 12 w/o n winter.

shot 76 saturdae w my Hot Metal Pro`s 2 degree`s flat

[Tigerskills]

 

From Mizuno MP52 to Callaway Apex cf16. Added 15 more yards and better launch angle into the greens. Love these Apex irons!
