Artisan upcoming irons

[GRUMBO]

sweet looking irons!!!!!! no initials I guess that is a feature that you put on the wedges and not the irons as I have not seen one set yet with intials stamped onto the backs. the back looks really cool and the faces look very nice solid looking club. I would be curious to know what your previous set of

irons is and how these compare to them as far as face size and margin of error. I think we all love blades but like to some margin for error. I am not sure but these look to be the same size as a set of Titleist T200 irons? just a educated guess from what i see can you post a image of what it looks like looking down at them in the address position so we can what the top line looks like? is it thick or rounded off and satin finish to make it look thinner? the whole head looks to be a satin finish?

 

Happy New year Gents

I can tell you they are not at player 545 because I haven't gotten a call or email.

I played today I have 4-PW in the half cavity’s…I noticed I was getting noticeably more spin with the wedge to the 9 and on closer inspection the face of the wedge is milled the same as the hand ground wedges…clubs have lovely feel and flight but the most impressive thing was the sole it was very wet today and they cut through the turf perfectly….anybody who is doubting buying them I’d say go for it you won’t regret it!🏌️‍♂️

Here is the 7 iron of the FC and the ZX7's for referance.  The sole is bogger on the FC but overall about the same size face.

great image is the top line the same thickness as the ZX7 srixon iron??? the Artisan looks a touch narrower and maybe more rounded on the edges. The top line looks like it is buffed down or satin finished to make it more appealing. In this image I think the Artisan face looks bigger maybe it is just because the face of the ZX iron is dirty but man are these sweet. The more I read the more confused I am on the wedges. I am for sure leaning towards the Full Cavity Back irons but the PW I am debating on as I use a MT custom ground 46 loft wedge I had made along with a 56 and 60 custom head and I love all three but I am thinking now of maybe going with the stock head PW that comes with set. To be honest not sure at all and I was thinking of stamping my intials on the backs but now leaning towards of not doing it as nobody else is doing it as it might make the back look tacky. I think maybe clean is sweet and use the KISS theory keep it simple stupid. So many thoughts but will so much time as my number way out so it is fun to see what others are doing with there sets and reading there thoughts. I really thought the FC head would be close to a T200 Titleist head but I guess  was way off, anybody out there tweaking the lofts by 1 degree or lies??? I was thinking of tweaking the lofts by 1 degree but only if it could be done without marking or marling the hosels.

Nice pics. Like the toe of the Artisan. Overall shape looks great. Based on the way the weight is distributed a little back in the sole, I’ll bet those are pretty easy to launch and forgiving CB irons.

Can anybody out thee who has a set post a detailed user review on all the three models, curious to see what is posted

what brand/manufacturing name does Artisan show up under for USGA conforming list?  I assume they are conforming since some touring pros have wedges in the bag

Any more reviews on these? I think I’m getting close.

#1267 here, may be 2025 for me.....

[GRUMBO]

does anybody know how long they give you to decide on whether or not one is going to order a set of irons and what the current inventory is like on all 3 models??? also is possible to just order say 6 to 9  in say the full cavity back heads then make the PW,SW AND LW in a custom set wedges from MT. Just curious and who knows what number they are on accurately as you hear so many different numbers. I am way way out and will be a while just curious though. I find it odd that there is not much feedback if any posted in regards to the irons. We all know they are great but it would be nice to hear some reaction on how all the irons play.

When you're asking about the exact player number they're on or their inventory, those aren't really questions that customers can answer.  You'd need to get that straight from Artisan or somebody really close to those guys.  Somebody said they just got the call and they are player #189, so seems like that should get you a really good sense of where they are at now.

 

Artisan makes wedges down to a 46* loft, I believe, so you should be fine getting a custom PW equivalent with your wedge set.  Just looking at this thread, looks like many people have done just that.  If you only want 6-9 in irons, that is fine too.  I originally asked for a half set (4,6,8,p), and they were willing to accommodate, but I ended up ordering 5-p.

 

Artisan really just started making irons available starting in October, so there simply aren't that many people who have had much time with these yet.  If they are fitting player #189 this week and it takes at least a few weeks for sets to be made, there are easily less than 150 sets that could even be in play outside of whatever off-the-rack sets are available in Asia and Europe.  And many are in the middle of winter without the ability to play.  And many of those who have a set probably aren't members of this forum.  Considering all of that, there actually is a decent amount of feedback in this thread, in my opinion.

I wanted to get some rounds in before i gave a review of them.  I am currenlty 5 rounds in with them and a handful of range sessions.  A little background info on me, i am currenlty playing to a 2.8 and just an average length player and my iron game has probbaly been the weakest part of my game.  I am a sweeper of the ball so usually no divots and i play a draw.  So far these have been fantastic and i am acuatlly taking a divot.  Feel and forgiviness have been great and i am loving the FC decision.  I could have played the HC but i did not see the reason to give up the forgivness of the FC for the HC.  If you put the irons on the scale they come in much heavier than what i have played in the past but you do not notice it at all.  Granted a short review but my normal playing partners keep saying that thay have not seen me hit my irons as well as i have and the sound off the club just sounds so pure.  All of this with me not playing since around the end of October so i am still getting back into the groove.  Big things ahead!

happy new year!

I just recently got fitted. Was very surprised how different each model worked for me. I expected to get the cavity back because it is very similar to what I play, but the half cavity was the best for me.

[airbusisamust]

All were plenty forgiving. It really came down to the turf interaction and all three were different. It’s a great iron though. I like how it looks a little like a throwback to the Apex. Number 245 for reference. 

[zeke66]

Have my blades 4-pw. 
 

Amazing. 
 

The one thing I’ll say… every set of irons I’ve ever had has one iron in the set that looks a little off. One set it was the pitching wedge. Another the 6 iron. Just slightly off. This set of irons…. They all look perfect. They blend with my gap and sand wedge perfectly. Was worried about a blade 4 iron but even that is great. Easy to hit… probably partially because the whole set is just so smoothly built. Nothing jarring when you grab a stick. You can barely tell what iron you are hitting looking down at them.

Guys

 

seems like not anyone is order a different wedge and they are going with the standard wedge that matches the set. I find kinda odd as I did pw from MT along with 56 and 60 and the pw is superior to what I was using. Any body out there doing this or all going with the matching wedge to the set? any idea on number as of yet?

[airbusisamust]

I always played the PW from the set and have never had good luck with a traditional SW at PW loft. Very little forgiveness for me and hit it too high. If they had a HC gap wedge I would buy that and dump my 50deg.

I have both the PW from the set and also a 46* MT wedge.  I am still palying around with them but could bag them both as i have about a 10-12 yard gap between them. It all depends on what the top part of my bag looks like as to if it can fit in my 14 clubs.

Pitching wedge from the set looks great and is slightly rounded toe to blend well. Looks beautiful.
