This is the first episode in a new BREAK PAR WITH series I am starting. This time I am using the Wilson launchpad irons. Hands down one of the easiest irons to hit in the world.

This is the one I've been waiting for 😀 looking forward to the results
Edit…. agree with you on the wedge shots. Last summer I switched to Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo hybrid irons, very quickly I decided that PW should be the shortest that I could work with and kept my smithworks wedges in the bag for the exact reason you mention.
Edit 2…. 100% agree with your analysis on the hitting into wind scenario. For me that was just a learning experience and I know to club up and then just swing easier to get the distance.
What I would say is that all the shots I've seen you hit didn't look the best version of Lee that I've seen…. but the results were usable on what seemed to be a pretty tough day.
Hope you can keep this series going – good idea. 👏🏻
One thing though, 145 yd into 2-3 club wind, high launch 8 iron? 🫣
I have thought about buying a set of these but I am concerned how tey work with chips and pitches. Your demo has helped me decide that are probably not for me. Thanks!!
Unfortunately the Launchpads can’t make the shot for you.
Over all you played well Lee. This should be a good series
Excellent idea, rather than focusing on the courses like everyone else – keep the course the same but change clubs – nice one mate
A LIV Golf beanie would look smarter.
Nice one, Lee, good playing in less than favorable conditions. Thanks for the demo of the launch pad irons. Don't think I will be switching this year. I put the Wilson D9 irons in play last year.
Great idea for a series Lee , you started out tough though ! Your speed does not need those clubs !
What would you have shot with your clubs 5-GW on this same day?
A bit of artificial test. No would go out on the course without a driver , 3 or 4/5 Fairway. Meaningless test.
This should be a fun series! With how windy Whitsand is you're going to have to learn to hit everything lower, particularly your moon ball driver! 😆
Some very forgiving irons, but they would take some getting used to. Looked like you got around with them well, Lee.
Lee, your swing looked really good in this video. Nice and smooth and under control. I like the series and am looking forward to future ones.
