Welcome back everyone. Today, this might be our biggest video. We are going to break down and find out which is the best hollow body iron on the market. To save the video from being 4 hours long, we’ve picked four irons, okay? And we feel like these are the biggest contenders. We do a lot with them in the fitting bay. They are all in the same loft category, barring half a degree of split. Okay? Let’s tell you exactly which ones we’re going to test. Tailormaid’s P790. Yep. Callaway’s AI200, Mizuno’s 245, Pro2 245, and Titless brand new TS series T250. What do you think we’re going to see here? You know what? They’re all really good golf clubs, as we mentioned before, you know, but they’re all a little different, too. So, I don’t know. Um, they’re all good golf clubs. The Tailor Made and the Callaway Apex and 790 have been our number one and two sellers. Tylist does really well as well. The Zuno makes great golf clubs. So, tough to call it really. Who knows? Well, we are not just going to hit on the robot. We’re not just going to give you our opinion. Here’s what we’re going to do. We have a 90 mph robot test because there’s definitely players out there hitting these at that that speed. We have got 80 mph test that’s been collected and verified by Dr. Tom Mace. We have also 3D scanned these golf clubs. That might sound a bit fairy fairy and fluffy, but this may be the most important information that you’re going to find out about this set of golf clubs. Yeah, cuz they’re all relatively similar, right? So, hang in there for the 3D scan data. We’re really going to break down what the differences are. First things first, we’ve got the P790 snapped into the robot. We’re going to hit it at 90 mph and we’ll run a comparison with all four heads just to see what they do. Let’s kick it off right away. This one right down the middle. Okay, two disclaimers. First disclaimer is we haven’t dialed in the tour speed yet. Tour speed test is actually going to be 95. We’re going to go for to like PGA tour average. Um, but we have dialed in our 80 m hour test. So, if you’ve been watching since the Callaway XForge video, every 80 mph test has been the same data. So, you can start going back and doing all the crazy things we know you do to compare irons. But, we’re also going to do it live here for you. So, this this 90 mph test with the P790, we got 4600 RPMs, carrying 193, still landing at 46°. Yeah, still pretty good land angle. That’s long, obviously. Okay, let’s throw the next one in. and we’ve broken them down into two categories and we’ll explain why a little bit later but let’s put the AI 200 in. This was one of our biggest selling golf clubs, the Apex for a long, long time and put it up against 790 which was its direct competitor. Exactly. I mean these are three of the top selling clubs we got and the only reason we don’t sell as many million Munos is probably because a little weaker loft and so it doesn’t win in the base. But I played all I’ve hit all these clubs. Yeah. You’ve you’ve played all these clubs. Yeah. Okay. Well, let’s see what the AI 200 does at 90 mph. All right. Interesting. The uh face was only open 2 of a degree and it faded, but we we might see some other data there on the 80 m hour where we see a little fade biases coming in. We’ll we’ll we’ll take a look at that. Spin rate was about the same. Carry was identical. Peak height was almost the same. Land angles identical. You might see a theme coming here. We’ll uh we’ll hit the next one. Let’s go. This is what we call the second category. We’re going to go for the Mazuno Pro 245. See what we get. Really nice day. Dead straight there. Yeah, we also saw a little pick up in RPMs. A few hundred RPMs more, right? Two yards less. And we did see that at the 80 mph by slightly shorter than the others, a tiny tiny bit. And then we saw the same land angle because the peak height dropped down a little bit. So, this is why we kind of talk about breaking these down in two categories. The 80 mph test is going to tell us more, but we’re going to bring up a chart that will show you the 90 mile differences, too. Last one on the list, Titus T250. We’ve seen this tested at 80 mph, and you’ll be see the same test data, but let’s do one at 90 and see what we get. Right down the middle. Slightly under that ball speed. 193 carry again. 45 degree land angle. tiny bit shallower 4,400 spin. So, there was a big stand out there in terms of RPMs. Yeah, absolutely. We saw that 4,400 in the T250, 4600 in the 790, 4700 in the AR200, but 5,000 in the 245. the highest spinning hollow body iron. Yeah. Which you know what the point are we always trying to get across is what’s good, what’s bad, what’s the best, what do you need? Well, it depends on the player, right? So, but if you and obviously, you know, as we do on these high speed tests, we’re probably going to end up adding more spin to this. I mean, you know, 90 mph got a little shaft and lean, too, but comparably one to another, they’re definitely, you know, makes sense, right? Uh Mizuna spins a little more, and that’s probably why it goes a little shorter as well. I mean, it’s only a yard, right? But I tell you what, if you’re a low spin player, that would definitely be a reason to go that route with another, right? And then we look at land angles. There’s there’s there’s almost identical in there. We look at ball speeds. There’s tiny amounts of differences. So, like we said in the last thing, hopefully you’re getting the picture. We are going to dive into some of the real deep answers which come from the 3D scan. And I guess I’ve got the 3D scan data. Okay, I’ll kick it off. So we we’ve looked at these clubs and we’ve kind of you can see on the left hand side and the right hand side we split them into two categories essentially just because of the 3D data more than anything else. The topline thickness of the AR200 and the P790 are the thickest. And yes, the AR 200 is a little bit thicker. Then you go to the 245 and the T250. We feel like these are aimed at slightly different players with slimmer top lines. Yeah, they’re slimmer top lines. They’re actually, you know, a little less offset as well, especially the Mizuno. is the lowest offset one which if you don’t like offset and honestly that’s that’s the part of the reason I I didn’t stick playing with the Mazunos is I play weaker ir short irons and they’re already no offset so when you bend the pitching wedge there’s no offset two degrees weak now it looks onset and it drove me bonkers um but love the clubs other than that so um you know it’s definitely different yep and then and I’m going to go jump one I’m going to go to blade length we’re talking about a millimeter basically across the board maybe maybe one and a half millimeters from top to tail of the whole set so there’s not much going on there But the effective footprint, so this is what the club is meeting on the ground. This is how much that golf club is able to touch the ground through impact. Massive differences. We talk about 1,200 mm squared versus 935 in the Mizuna. Mizuno is definitely a smaller footprint. You know, like I said, part of the reason I like that club is, you know, I don’t need a big footprint cuz I pick them all. So, you know, it’s definitely quite a bit smaller. Okay. So, before we start explaining why that might be good or bad, let’s jump into the 80 mph test data from the group data. This is all been reviewed by Dr. Tom Mace. All the data scrubbed. Um, let’s Yeah, this one here. Right. What I love about these is they’re basically all the same loft. Tireless 2250’s got half a degree more loft, but look at all those charts and numbers. Just run us through what you see. Well, if you look at launch angle, obviously the Tus launch is about a half a degree higher, which makes total sense. It has to be more loft. Um, you look at spin rates, you know, um, the Mazuno shows up the higher spin, but only by That’s interesting. Yeah. And this test, you know, 80 miles an hour, that’s, you know, 3 400 RPM is quite a bit. decent amount, right? So, if you’re a low spin player, need stopping power for that reason, the Mazuno makes sense. Y um you know, if you look at the peak height, they’re pretty damn close. Mazuno is the lowest one of the bunch, but by a yard or a foot. Y So, pretty similar land angles all identical. So, no trade-off there. You get what you get. And that makes sense why the Vizuno is a tiny bit shorter um as you more spin, you know, which obviously uh you know, you get spin and speed, right? One’s a trade-off of the other. you get a little lower ball speed because you get a little more spin. Um, but you know, some people need that. So, yeah, it’s it’s really close. It’s really close. And then what we looking at there? If you look at the distances all around, you’re like, oh, they’re they’re pretty close. If you look at the top and the bottom of the scale, Mazuno being the lowest at 164, Callaway being the highest at 168, there’s half a club difference, and they’re both identical loft and those kinds. Yeah. 80 mph is a half club, right? So, 80 m hour are 12 degrees between clubs if gap is right. Um, so yeah, a little bit, right? Yep. So now it really looks you you’ve got the graph data, you got the 90 mph data. We can see that there’s nuances there. So it really boils down to the 3D scan telling us what the delivery conditions might be for offset. We might want to look down at the top line, how the sole interacts with the ground. We think that’s probably the biggest answer to what is forgiveness. Yeah, I mean obviously you some people like to look at one versus the other, but they all look pretty good and they all look pretty similar when you set them down the ground to be honest. Um that’s why I play all those clubs. I like all these sculpts and the shape they are. Um, but you know, the difference is really I’m looking at, you know, keep in mind that as you change lofts, and some people do, right? So, you weaken them to add bounce or strengthen them like I do in the long irons because I hit it high enough. Um, you got to take that into account. Every degree you adjust in loft, you adjust the bounce. Y and so keep that in mind as well. But really, it’s the sole difference. Yeah. It’s a little bit offset and it’s the sole difference in your action of the turf and different angle attack. These clubs are going to work better for you depending on what you are. And the one you’ve been hanging in there for is going to be the dispersion graphs, right? You we all look at forgiveness and we like base all the weight on the dispersion graphs. And there’s a reason why I’ve left these to last place because it’s it’s interesting information, but we think there’s more weight to be placed on this other information which is the the scan stuff. So, let’s check out the dispersion data. And we can comment all day, but you can kind of see the two the two splits, right? The Callaway and the Tailor Made both have identical thing happen when you hit them low on the face, right? They kind of just drop off. Y but you get a little more bang for your buck with the distance, especially with the Callaway, right? You do get that additional distance gain. And the Titus and the Mazuno, they they’re like pushing towards this more controlled thing, but you are losing a couple of yards. So it’s like it’s a little unique. Yeah. And like I said, I I think it really boils down to looking at, you know, for sure you got like a look of it right from the back for whatever some, you know, curb appeal you call it, right? But when you after you get past that, if there’s a couple you like, it’s really the turf interaction. So it’s the it’s the sole, the width, and the bounce, and the offset. Yep. And those are different. And the other thing that we can’t I mean, I don’t really think we can comment on it. There is ways of measuring it, but it’s the sound feel. Feel. Yeah. That’s a difficult one. And they may all, and I think they do, all have slightly different acoustics and slightly different feel characteristics. And then obviously the big one, which I’m sure a certain percentage of you, is the brand, right? You got to have the right brand in the bag. So, and all these are top brands, too. I mean, no one’s going to be embarrassed any one of these for sure. So, they’re all pretty much the best gloves in their category. And that’s it. You know, we wanted to break this down. This information is what our fitters have in their hand. So when they’re guiding you through, they’re not guessing at which one’s got the right top line, which one’s going to give you a better footprint through the ground. They’ve got this information in their hands to help guide you through the process. You can see here, everybody these days is making amazing golf clubs that do great jobs. Certainly, there’s benefits and tradeoffs in any category of golf club, but like I said, these are close. So you got to look at what are actually the differences. And really, footprint and bouncing, you know, that’s and the soul is turf interaction is going to be your big difference. Right. Yeah. Now, I will say something though. You know, we picked these four because they’re kind of relevant and, you know, they kind of look the same. There’s there’s quite a few other good Holly back clubs. You know, there’s a there’s a bunch more out there. So, we’ll we’ll touch on all those and get all those done. So, eventually I think this probably worth revisiting as we get all of them in this category um to see, you know, where the differences are. And there’s, you know, I pick these off loft basically and and their hollow body characteristic and their popularity, right? Like you say, bunch more in there. Stay with the channel. We have got every single club will eventually be tested under these exact same parameters. We’ll have all the graphs, all the scans, and of course, if you come to a cool club’s fitting location, you’re going to get this information from your fitter. We encourage everyone to get fit. I don’t think this video could highlight any more importance of how, you know, you got to get out there in the field, test them, understand what you need, see these things in the real world.
