Anyone satisfied with Irons a YEAR or older?

[stryper]

MX 23's

 

I'll play them until the grooves are gone...or I am. ?

[Darth_Blader]

It doesn't even cross my mind to replace the CMBs.

[The Chicken Connoisseur]

No anything older than a year is obsolete

[doublepar93]

Still playing my Wilson Reflexes that I got last year at this time. Will most likely play them for at least another two years, possibly longer. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[ckates7]

Been playing Mizuno MP32's for over a decade now. I have no intention of switching any time soon either

[andrieddle]

How can you tell the grooves are shot? and how long does it take for that to happen? each club hitting 1000 balls a day?

[Mohican69]

A few years, maybe more now that I think about it, I upgraded when the first version of the Cally Fusions came out and I've been happy ever since. Don't know if it's the combo of the materials in the in the head or the nippon shafts but they feel like forged iron to me. I played Mizuno MX-20,23,25's up until I bought these and I've been happy ever since. I used to be the biggest clug ho of my group but I don't bother looking anymore. The new TM do have my interest but it would take a lot to bump these out of my bag.

Srixon Z545's this past summer and it's been years since I've liked a set of irons this much.....and I've had many......They will stay in for 2017.

[evoviiiyou]

Two sets I go back and forth with:

Mizzy JPX 825 Tour

Mizzy JPX 850 Cast

 

I hit the new 900 Forged and Hot Metals and were almost identical in my few sessions. I really wanted anew set mainly for the Project X LZ shafts...but the n the monitor at my local GG, very little difference from my current set ups with the standard Project X shafts.

[Roadking_6]

I had my Mizuno T-Zoid Pro II from 98-99 from purchased new until Last year I got Ping Ie1. Still happy with them.

[arbitrage]

I've been playing my Apex 2014's for the last two seasons, after playing my MX-900's for 6 seasons. I'll play the Apex's until someone comes out with a soft forged CB that is longer and straighter (PW 42 deg and 6 iron 19 deg :taunt: )

Blade style hasnt changed all that much except lofts in some cases...

Players clubs are players clubs...hogans, real hogans, are for real "playas", while todays "players" clubs are more forgiving. I play blades mainly, but the hogan pc was really too much for me (though the 7-pw were near perfect).

I think the biggest difference are in ur more forgiving models tgat now use matetials that would have been too difficult/expensive to mass market a decade ago.

I've been playing with the same Nike Slingshots for 12 years.

Hell, I've had the same grips on them for at least 5 years.

 

I can't imagine replacing perfectly good, functional irons every single year. Not only is that super expensive, but pretty unnecessary.

[baby-g]

I am very much enjoying my 714 AP2's

Same here. 3 years and counting.

Just picked up a set of 712's and absolutely love them.

[imrede4glf]

Mizzy MP 54s...for 3 years... :-)

[maamold]

My irons are Mizuno MP-68, Hogan Apex Redline's, Hogan Apex II Cameo's and Hogan Directors. I'll be putting KBS Tour 120 Stiff Soft-Stepped in the Mizzy's and Redlines next year and have no plans to change irons anytime soon.

[RobotDoctor]

I currently game Ben Hogan '99 Apex blades (3-E) and a Scratch 1018 52 degree gap wedge. I have a set of Ping i-3 Blades (1999 model) on the way. I owned a couple of sets of these back in the day. I also have a set of MacGregor Muirfield 20th irons that I used to play very well. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

[BDoubleG]

Yeah I love my AP2 714s. I can't see myself switching for at least a couple more years.

[BDoubleG]

I was going to ask if you were serious, then I saw who posted it.

[LeoLeo99]

Had RSi1 irons but got rid of them.

 

Had some low ball bids out on Ebay on a couple sets. Bought some JPX800 pro at Golfsmith for a decent price and then won both auctions on ebay. So now I have Cobra AMP forged and a combo set of TM TP CB/MC. Looking forward to trying out the different sets of irons.

 

I find that older irons have a certain panache to them.

[Hawkeye77]

LOL, got fitted for new AP2s in March, bought some Legacy Blacks in July, so I guess not.

[asw7576]

Still got irons from 2002/2006 in the bag. I don't buy any new gear unless it's going to make me a better golfer.

 

Exactly ....

 

I am happy with mizuno jpx 800 hd 2013 and yamaha x z cavity 2013.

[1 iron2]

Have a full set of TMBs but the cobra single length have my attention.

[Jon H]

Going into year two with the 716 AP2. No plans to change.

[mreckel]

Is anyone happy with their iron set that's a year or older????? I just bought covert forged in December and Im dying to switch to something new just because....

 

Been rocking a set of Mizuno's for the last 6 years. Bought those to replace the 10 year old Mizuno's that I had in the bag before then. When you find something that works, no need to change it.

[mtg]

Played my last set for 7 years: combo AP2 (3-5) and ZB forged (6-P). Haven't hit an AP2 in a bit but that original was a nice club, can't say enough about the ZBs either, any poor shots coming off those were all me. Switched to MP-5s last spring, couldn't be happier with them.

[LHGolf4]

I have bought numerous PING, Mizuno, and Callaway even up to this year. I went back and bought a set of Big Bertha 2002 irons from Callaway Pre-owned. For once I am actually satisfied.

[rthrbgolfing]

just built some Adams XTD forged

[papichulosteve]

i've had CMB's in my bag for the last 4 seasons and will probably stay in there another few. like others have said, if its not broke, why fix it?

 

and those aren't even the oldest set in my family, my brother's set of MP-32's is going on about a decade of play and he too has no inkling to switch.
