Excellent content. Laughing at the wedges makeup (currently carrying 5 of them); and what about the driving iron? I went back to an old Ping Eye 2 1-iron (had it for 30 yrs) for the sole purpose of hitting stingers to amuse myself. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Does anyone else play with 3 different 7 irons 🤠
In winter i practice with forged blades and play with cavities. When its hard and fast in summer play and practice with blades.
I bought new clubs this year. A full bag… I was open to the idea of going for last years models as well. I’m a 55 years old high handicap golfer. After trying all the clubs within my budget in the store with the help of a very good salesman, I went for the Cobra LTDX irons with steel KBS Tour 90 regular shafts, 5 to gap… a Cobra LTDx 4 hybrid, Cobra RadSpeed XB drive, RadSpeed 3 and 5 woods with Fujikura Motore F6 stiff shafts and Cleveland RTX Zipcore wedges with 50°, 54° and 58°… I truly believe I got the best set-up my money could buy. With everything I tried, these were the best results and it starting to show on the score card. I was initially interested in the Forged Tec X … but there was now way I could justify the 500$ price difference since I was hitting the LTDX longer and straighter than the forged tec’s for a lot less money. Same with the driver I wanted the Callaway Rogue or the Cobra Aerojet but I was hitting the RadSpeed XB better than any other brand or model… the only close contender to the RadSpeed XB for me was the Titleist TSR2 but there was now way I would go with the price difference. Being open minded and well accompanied by a good salesman gave me a good golf bag perfect for my needs and budget.
How to make the decision between a hybrid/ iron replacement and a 7W?
The 7W may not fly as far, but it'll drop down softer, which is good most of the time, but not so good in high wind.
I chose the 923 HMP over the 225. For me there was very little difference (if any) except the price. I love the 923 HMP and I am a 11 handicapper. Also I have a pitching wedge, 50 degree wedge and 56 degree wedge. I used to carry a 60 degree but for me I found there is nothing I can do with a 60 that I cannot do with the 56.
Great content Matt, and love all your videos.
Just for clarification what numbers in your opinion does a high handicapped golfer become a mid.
I'm on the cusp I think being 19.5.
Still using TaylorMade Sim irons which I find ok.
Regards Matt
well shit i just got mizuno 921 forged irons lol
What do you recomend when it is a long way to a proshop (250 miles) and noe pro at the club? How should I approch on getting new irons?
I had blades for years and struggled so got a set of Wilson LaunchPads, what a difference; so much more confidence.
Chuckling to myself at the cavity backs having a larger SOUL, just imagining them singing their soulful hearts out in a gospel choir🤣
The picture in your video is misleading. You're basically saying the opposite in your video. The advice in the video is sound and sensible but not what you're advertising
Very Instructive Matt, I'm a mid to low handicap and I use Callaway Rogue ST Pro's massive improvement over my Wilson D7's
good explanation. Duffers like me consider new clubs but need reasons to invest – and to some extent to know what the return on the investment might be.
People play to different handicaps for different reasons. Pick your irons based on the repeatability of your swing, not how well you putt.
I use mizuno MP64 and absolutely love them can shape shots and have a bit of forgiveness although hit them out of the toe and you will still be feeling it on the next tee 😂
I have jpx 919 forged. They’re player distance and as I’ve gotten better (8 index) I struggle with them. The low spin and offset doesn’t suit me. Hit some mp20 blades and my launch and spin is a lot better. It’s tough to commit to playing a blade though makes me feel like an ass.
"Soul" in this context is spelt 'Sole". Very informative content.
matt, i'm 73 yrs old and a 12 hdcp. and last year i got pxg 0211 irons and they go further but i don't get any height. every club goes lower, like too low and i hit a low ball anyway. the 5 iron goes about 20ft. off the ground but goes futher compared to my previous ping i25. do you think i have the wrong shafts which are standard graphite R flex? i feel like taking them back but they have such a great feel.
I am a high handicapper playing Mizuno JPX Fli-Hi Long Iron Replacements 3-5 (19°, 22° and 25°), Cleveland CG16 Irons 6-PW (27°-39° @4° gapping, PW 44°) , CG16 Wedges 48°, 54° and 60° at 75mph swing speed… Driver @12° with 3-wood shaft and 3-Wood @16.5° with 5-wood shaft, both are Cobra Bio Cell models
Age needs to be taken into consideration as well. I can hit blades (for the most part) but my clubhead speed has slowed down so much that using the original lofted and forged irons are simply too short to use properly. I love the feel of some of my older irons, when I hit them well, but losing 10 plus yards of distance over a cavity iron means a harder shot and longer clubs. So I am in the P790s now, a nice combination of forgiveness, feel and distance.
So the Mizuno has more “soul”. Cool. I can dig that man! 😉
Excellent
Larger soul…
I was a 15hcer and purchased the ws d9s, took me down to a 9hcer now I'm waiting on the ws cbs… watch this space lol
Matt, can you give us a bit of insight on “players cavity” compared to game improvement cavity. I’m thinking of the 223s and Wilson staff cb
I play off 1 and have recently changed from AP2 to JPX HM Pro and can honestly say they are awesome. Forget handicap level, just use what is best for your game.
I didn't really understand the lie difference in the slice, draw shot. Thank you, Matt
I have an old X-14 Steelhead Players model 2-iron out in the bin-of-forgotten-clubs that makes a modern bladed iron look like a 460cc driver. I call it the Unhittable. All I want from my irons is something I enjoy seeing at address and that I don't blame for all my golf problems. Currently that's Ping i210's although there are some Kyoei irons talking sweet things over the internet to me.
sole, not soul
Right at the end of the video, I heard that music start fading in, and thought “WTF is an ice cream truck doing coming here?”….
Great advice Matt. I was fitted for my irons late last year when my WHI was 22 and the fitter gave much the same advice. I came out with Wilson D9 Forged with longer, stiff shafts and slightly flatter lie, and hit I them so well (I've dropped down to 16 since then). At the same time I switched my hybrids to Mizuno Fli Hi 2 and 3 irons and I absolutely love them! Getting fitted was one of the best things I've done for my game.
I’ve noticed a lot of mid handicap players using forged bladed irons thinking that makes them a better golfer. Since they tend not to hit the ball in the sweet spot the majority of the time it really doesn’t help their game at all…
