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

[Marco Colo]

Indeed.

Everything begun because I ordered the G410 and after trying the i210 wanted to change my order, but it shipped already. I have used the Gs for about 10 months, but something with the turf interaction wasn’t right. DBMs are just what I was looking for and even more.

But don’t know if I went that route if I had managed to switch the Gs with the i in the first place. i210 are very fantastic irons, but love my Maltby’s more ??

I'm a 15 and just upgraded from Adams cb3 with KBS Tour 90 stiff to Bridgestone Tour B JGR HF2 with Nippon 950 GH stiff shafts......love these clubs! Sweet feel, just as long as the Adams, and fairly forgiving. And no, they don't launch too high....ball flight is perfect for me and my swing.

I play CF19 Apex with I80 shafts - love them!

Pxg 0211 with True Temper Elevate Tour X-stiff (5-Gw)

[DarthFader17]

15 hdc playing to a 20. Just got back into game, was down to 12hdcp before back problems in 2015. Just upgraded my Nike VR Pro combo's to Maltby TS2/1 combo set. UNBELIEVABLE. Workability of the nike's forgiveness for days...sound and feel both BETTER..

 

I just shot my first round breaking 80 ...granted with the wonky "cup above ground" so you can add 3-4 strokes...

(about 8 rounds into the new sticks).

 

If you prefer players profile and are a semi-decent ball striker, TS1 all day. If you want a bit more distance and more "point and shoot" get the TS2's. or be like me and do a combo set4-7 ts2, 8-G ts1. You will not look back...seriously.

 

The thing I like most is the clubs just DO what you want. I could tell you the ball flight and trajectory with a blind fold on just based on my swing. I have never had such consistent feedback from a club. I know when I miss, I know when I swing weird etc. When I make a good swing, I get exactly the result I'm looking for. Truly sweet clubs. VERY comparable to TM P790's for 1/3 of the price. I got mine with Project x 6.0 shafts.

topline on the ts2 is a little thick, but it goes away after one round. Honestly, if I had to do it again, I may go a full set of TS1's as the more I get used to swinging them the more the feel speaks to me...but you can't go wrong.

 

TS2's will offer a bit more forgiveness on a slower swing speed, but the TS1 are also very forgiving...

 

Also, Both styles have an AMAZING sole. Turf interaction is perfect.

 

Hope that helps!

I dont keep handicap. Should be around a 14 to 17? Score is usally 80 my lowest to 96 if i have a disasterous round. Typically 85 to 90. Ive played mostly GI irons i just got rid of steelhead xr pro irons. Amazing club just still seemed game improvement like to me. I was on a mission to find the most compact most forgiving iron i can get. The virus killed my fittint hopes which was supposed to take place this month. After a ton of research and sleepless nights lol i have come across the 2019 Honma TW 747p irons. A players distance iron which looks pretty compact from videos and photos. Very very nice looking club and through reviews and testing is said to be top forgiving compared to other irons in same category with same long distance. Other choices were callaway mavrik pro and apex 19. Theyre also said to feel very soft. If this does not work out i plan to go with standard mavriks. I receive my irons this Tuesday or Wednesday. Cant wait.

[jubess]

I score about the same as you. Did you consider the new XXIO Black X forged irons? They are made for mid handicappers But are very forgiving and come with a nippon shaft. Inbee Park on the LPGA plays XXIO forged. I just snagged a set on EBAY for a good price.

[iNeedMoreGolf]

Ill check them out.. i allready ordered my honma 747p though. Also came with nippon shafts. Btw how are nippons never hit them before?

[jubess]

Nippon shafts are very good. Most of the LPGA players use the Nippon NS Pro 950. The XXIO Forged come stock with a Nippon made for XXIO NS PRO 920GH. It's a 92 gram steel shaft. I'm transitioning from graphite so light weight steel is perfect for me. The shafts are counter balanced with a 13g weight in the butt end of the club that is supposed to help with getting the club in the correct position at the top and transition. I can't wait for the shutdown to end so I can hit them.

[CaymanS]

I'm playing the best irons for my 15hcp, Ping G400.

[golftejas]

Mizzy 919 HM now ... previously Ping G25 ... Index is 8 ... truthfully, my scoring is very similar with both sets despite being fully fitted for the 919 HM and getting the G25s off the rack ... I'm slightly less hook prone with the fitted 919 HMs

[Cjetblack]

Ping i200. I hover between a 15 and 17 (hopefully that changes by the end of the year due to lessons and lots of practice.

[lawaterboy]

714 AP1’s

[dukebasketball717]

I’m playing mp-64’s.

[jubess]

Nice. What's your handicap? I love the looks of these but they seem to be for lower handicap great ball strikers. Are they relatively forgiving ? How is the distance with these?

?

[asKaasa]

MP32s / T100s. I’m a picker ?‍♂️

[dukebasketball717]

I play At 11. I bought a backup set a couple of years ago at a good price on the classified forum. These are great irons.

[BetterAtBingo]

Steelhead XR Pros with S-Tapers last season. SLDR with DG S400 this season. They are a nice combination of playability and forgiveness. Holding steady at a 10 right now.

[boggyman]

W/S FG 17s my primary set with Rogue X shafted with Recoils as a backup set. Currently a 11hc and working hard to get to single digit by end of season.

[lambo428]

With irons, I gravitate towards accuracy; so right now that's Titleist 718 AP1.

[JRL2]

Currently play 718 AP2s. Just switched from PX 6.0 to Steelfiber 95i due to old age and elbow pain. 13 handicap. I have played Titleist irons for the last 10 years, AP1s before that. I love the feel and the less offset of the AP2s.

[Smpear]

58, 16 handicap playing Callaway X18 irons

[dlongstaff]

I have been using either Nike split cavities or Nike VR Pro blades since 2010, and I have

no plans on switching to anything else; they feel just as good as they look. Luckily, I have

2 sets of the blades, and the split cavities don't get used much, so I am set for a while.

I am currently an 11, but I switched to the Nike irons long before consistency would have

suggested it...the price was just too good to pass up :~)

[TIM929]

716 TMBs- ran through some great irons but these feel like home.

[jbrunk]

No real cap, estimate around 11-14; break 80 a handful of times per year. Low round last season was a 74 (+4).

Generally prefer a compact CB, forged, or combo set; rotating iron sets are as follows:

2018 Callaway X-Forged/Apex MB 4i-7i/7i-PW Modus3 120

2013 Mizuno MP-54 4i-PW DG AMT S300

2017 Ping i200 4i-UW AWT 2.0

Previously gamed Srixon Z745 and JPX-850 Forged...I miss those sets sometimes.

[eaglechip]

Ping G15, but looking for new irons.

No official handicap. Average score is 89.
