My shrinking iron set… where to go?

Recommended Posts

Currently I carry 5-9 iron. 
I have a 22* Sim DHY on the way to potentially replace my 5 iron, I’ll probably bend it weak to gap properly. 
If I really like it as an iron replacement… well how about a 25* bent weak to replace my 6 iron?
 

That would leave me with just a 7, 8, 9 iron. 
 

If I ever wanted to upgrade my 7, 8, 9 irons what are my options? Who sells individual irons? Ping?

Other than Maltby… who sells quality components?

Driver 9* Mavrik Max Evenflow Riptide 50 Stiff

7 wood 21* Cobra F7 Kuro Kage Silver 80 x-stiff

3, 4, 5 King Utility ONE Elevate 95 Stiff
6-9: TEE C721 Elevate 95 Stiff

43/8*, 48/9* CBX Zipcore DG Spinner 115

54/12*, 58/8* ES21 KBS Hi-rev 2.0 115

I've seen individual irons offered up on ebay. May not have every single shaft option that would be available if you were trying them out at a big box though. 

D-Taylormade SIM MAX D Diamana PD 50r

3w- Honma TW-XP1 

17° Adams XTD Ti super hybrid

4h-5h- Tour Edge Exotics ex9

6-AW- Cleveland Launcher XL Nippon Zelos 7

56°- Cleveland CBX Zipcore

60°- Lazrus

P- Odyssey eleven tour lined stroke lab shaft

Why all the bending? Bending can change other characteristics of the club head. A 5H in many cases is one club longer than a 5 iron, so a 4 iron equivalent.   Same for a 6H to replace a 5 iron. Or a 7H to replace a 6 iron.  Selections can be limited though as you get into higher lofted hybrids though.   Some actual hitting balls/testing is worthwhile.

I’m talking about maybe bending 1 degree to go from 22* to 23* if it goes too far. I have a 26* 6 iron.

As another poster said, Carls Golfland is a great site; use the “Customize” link.  You can order pretty much any current brand. 
Morton’s Golf is another reputable site. 
Check out the “Individual Irons”  portion. 
You can buy  individual irons, like a 7,8,9 directly from Cobra, Srixon, and Taylormade on their websites. Just use the customize option. I think Titleist as well.

Welcome to my world.

 

At present: 7, 8, 9-iron Titleist T300.  I may replace them with T200 next spring.

23* and 26* TSR1 hybrids, 75 gram Atmos Tour Spec R

That pretty much gets me to 5-wood; I might pick up a 7-wood.

Right now I’m just piecing together the most user friendly set I can build. 

7 woods are great! I bag two 😂. A short shafted super spinny 21* Cobra and a 19.5* Ping with a flatter flight (user friendly clubs!). Then my 3 wood. 


I will see if I like the DHY. Hybrids are not for me, but the DHY looks more like an SGI iron than a hybrid or driving iron. If I do really like it, I would absolutely add another if it makes the game easier. I’m just hoping they will still launch nicely when I’m laying off a bit. 
 

T200 looks goood.
