Irons that gave you the most enjoyment.

[i*windows]

I dont need new clubs, but I want to buy some and I was thinking what the criteria for choosing them should be, and it has to be fun. This is pretty hard to quantify with lumps of metal, but i remember the first time I hit a set of Taylor Made R7 irons and the ball just jumped off of the club face, the sound was brilliant and I loved the clubs. Which clubs did you enjoy the most?

[Chadwickog]

My current gamers are the W/S FG Tour V4.. they are wonderful to play, absolutely love hitting the ball with them.

[Coachdoss]

I love playing with my BECU Ping Eye 2's

 

Love the feel off the face and the traditional lofts.

[sdandrea]

PING Eye 2 with ZZ-Lite shafts. Nothing feels and sounds better to me.

[NoTalentLefty]

Nicklaus N1 cast with the uniflex steel shaft. Because I could break 80 without breaking a sweat in the 90s .

[Golfingfanatic]

Miura Baby Blades. I've hit plenty of blades and none of them match the BBs in terms of fun.

[TheInfidel]

Just put a set of 900 Forged in the bag with ProjX LX 6.5s - WOW. Different class of ball flight. Crazy forgiving.

[Dueller]

Srixon 765's. They look the business and feel even better.

[Tiptx1122]

I have owned so many different sets of irons over the last 30 ears as I seem to remember something good about almost all of them. The one set is my current set and maybe it's because I'm much older now but I have pulled off some remarkable shots with my TM P790's. I have reached more par 5's in 2 with my long irons plus I'm using my long irons to sometimes Tee off on some tight and shorter par 4's. Of course there has been many other shots that come to mind with my mid to shorter irons as I'm very pleased with my purchase.

For me, it’s a toss up between my current Vapor Pro Combos (looks, feel) and my Top Flite Box set irons. They were shovels, but I could hit them great. Has lots of fun learning the game with those.

[North Butte]

I put 800+ rounds on a set of Titleist DCI 990 irons from roughly 2001-2009 so obviously that's the most total enjoyment I'm ever going to get from a set. None of the irons I've owned before or since have stuck around for longer than 250-300 rounds (2-1/2 years).

 

The biggest "Wow" experience I've ever had was when I switched in 2011 from "players cavity-back" irons such as Razr X Forged and those DCI 990's to a set of Ping G20 irons. Being able to hit 10-15 really high, straight, long, solid iron shots in a round instead of maybe 3-4 times a round when I happened to make an unusually good swing was eye-opening.

 

I can't go back now, the "enjoyment per round" has been much higher with my Ping G-series irons (G20, then G30, now G) than with the smaller-headed, thinner-soled players clubs. Who knows, maybe I'll still be playing the G set in 2023 and blow through my old cumulative enjoyment record!

.... Amen. I had 210 to a back pin with a bunker guarding the entire front right half of the green. So not only did I need a long shot, I needed accuracy too. My P790 4 iron put me just on the back left fringe with a 15 foot birdie putt. That certainly gives me the most enjoyment. Combined with a very nice feel and a great look at address, I love these irons. So all things considered especially at age 65, P790's give me the most enjoyment.

 

... That said, I love playing my Honma 737's too. The feel is extraordinary, the sharp leading edge cutting out an effortless divot. But not as forgiving, especially in the long irons, the lack of forgiveness diminish my enjoyment. I also play Cobra Forged Tours that are a combination of the P790's and the 737's. While I doubt I could play the 737's all the time and be happy, I could easily play the Forged Tours. But until TM comes out with a new version of their P790's, they will continue to be the most enjoyable irons I have played.

[cliffhanger]

besides right now, the best experience i ever had was with the Callaway X-14 pro series irons... i went through two sets of those suckers. The two iron in that set was the equal to anything i have hit today.

[Jeri6gt]

Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pros with Rifle 5.5s

[OSUBuckeyeFan8]

Titleist 690mb with DG X-200 shafts were my favorite clubs. Played them for a long time but then got a job and had to quit practicing as much. Went to cavity backs (AP2) for a while and now back to a mixed set but with completely forged club heads.

[johnstone610]

Distance fun the P790 is a hoot. Shaping fun the mp-18 blade is amazingggg.

[2putttom]

long time in the bag before I started thinking of replacing them

 

 

[B-wall]

Ah, the CMB. Still my favorite iron of all-time.

[puttingmatt]

Besides several sets of mizuno's,

It would be the X Forged 18's.

These are a blast to play with.

[nuttinbutapeanut]

Currently it’s the TaylorMade P790 but just for fun I’m itching to try a set of one length !! Forged or f7 ?

[nuttinbutapeanut]

There’s a used set at my local club store for $75

[Shrinkwr4p]

My current gamers are the W/S FG Tour V4.. they are wonderful to play, absolutely love hitting the ball with them.

 

I've just seen a set of these new that I could pick up for £250 which I guess is around $300 these days. I was thinking of holding out for the V6. What d'ya think?

[Kingcat990]

Probably my Masda Fast Blades. Close second being my Royal Collection BBD V7's. Both gobs of fun to hit. They both feel great and different from one another and each feel nothing like any iron I've played in the past.

[Sparky14]

Foxbat Ring Of Fire irons.

[Bohsaucey]

Nike Pro Combo Tours

 

Plug an old sale listing from someone else, mine were LH but man they were the sweetest feeling clubs.

 

So mad I sold them, I never see a set come up on ebay.

Also Titleist 990's but now the PXG combo set is to die for!

To die for would be about right if I ever brought a set of those home and showed them to my wife!

[gators78]

1st is Ping Eye 2s, by a mile.

 

 

2nd is Satin Adams A4 Tours

[chch3]

Tommy Armour 845's. They were the first set of clubs I bought. Before that I was playing hand me downs from all of my dad's buddies.
