These do look fantastic.  If I get them that paint full is gone for sure.   Love that look.  Just acetone?

I don't mean to step on ChristopherMcDonald's toes and I don't know if this is exactly what you were looking for, but since I have 902PD, 902OS, and 623CB 7-irons, I took pics on carpet.  Unfortunately, I didn't take all of them from exactly the same height and excuse the crappy lighting/shadows.

You're welcome.  Now, quit posting Ireland pics and forcing me to look at them or I may decide to go there next September.  😛

You're welcome.  I just hope no one asks me how I like the NL's because, embarrassingly, I've had them since August and have managed to hit all of 2 shots with each of them.  I refuse to hit off mats and now that the grass range closest to me closed, I don't feel like driving an hour to another one, so I've only been able to try them during actual rounds.  Haha.

They all look great! I’m looking at either one of those New Level or the Apex Pro. 
Which do you prefer? They all must feel great. I would assume that there isn’t much of a difference?

Thanks so much! Any playability differences? 

[belh22]

Would love to hear difference of pd and os. Spin and launch and forgiveness. 

[belh22]

Pd looks tremendous

Holy **** all 3 of those NL irons are nice. The OS maybe the nicest looking "forgiveness" iron I have ever seen.

[toypor]

Has anybody compared the 902 PD to Ping i230 (or 200/210). Interested mostly in overall blade size and forgiveness comparison. Thanks!

I did the same thing to my 902PD irons…I like the look without the paint a lot better!

Ryan Moore plays the PD but there isn’t much difference, supposedly.  I do like that paint full removed.  

Ryan Moore is playing the 902OS 5-9 and the 902PD PW & AW.

Came in the other day!

[SuperDave]

Love my 902PDs and might remove the paint too.  Looking to replace my DG105s with Graphite Dart shafts but I was wondering if anyone knows or have insights on 2023 plans for New Level.  The current batch have been on sale for a little while now which indicates to me inventory reduction before introduction of new versions.  I would love to see a 902PD in Black PVD finish 🙂

[Minarets]

Ordered the demo 902OS today.  Looking forward to it.

I have the 902OS 5-PW and absolutely love them. I’ll be using these exclusively for many years to come.

Is the GI22 a continuation of the MODB-1 that New Level made a few years ago? I remember demoing the MODB-1 and really liking it as a long iron replacement. Just looking at the images they seem to share a lot of the same attributes. I am looking for a 4/5 iron to fill a 190 yd carry gap and I am thinking this might be the ticket. For reference see the pictures below comparing the two...

no to the NLU-01? For 4i replacement? 
 

I was trying to figure out which was better their hybrid or utility iron? If I like that 7i demo was thinking if 4-PW 902OS(or PD) or 5-PW and 4i NIU-01.  then add NLH-01 hybrid.
 

I currently play 4-PW 921F mizuno and a 3H from PXG.  
 

Anyone decide between hybrid and utility?

I am probably just being cheap but a GI22 iron is $95 vs $145-160 for the utility iron. They look reasonably similar from a forgiveness standpoint and I assumed the GI22 might launch a tad bit higher. Utilities usually fly a bit low for my liking, especially if I am getting it as a long iron replacement rather than a low flight option off the tee for wind or hard ground.

I had never even considered it.  Pretty good idea. Heard it a great iron.  Maybe I should. Assumed you had to buy a set. 
 

wait, they don’t make a 4i in gi22, do they?

Technically, no. It starts at "5 iron" but since the GI22 5i is 22* that should fit quite nicely in with my set since my "5 iron" is 26*. See GI22 specs below:
