How is ZX7 not included? It's an incredibly popular and outstanding iron
The stopping power of the Ping i230 was impressive. Although it carried the furthest with high ball speed, the ball went higher, had a great landing angle, and stopped only 7 yards after hitting the ground. The deviation was also very low, meaning better consistency.
I've never been a fan of the way Ping's irons looked, but those 230's changed something in my brain, and now I'm dying to give them a hit. And those Wilson CB's are just… well… Gorgeous 😍
I love my T100s. But if I had it to do over again I'd likely either be in a full T100S set or possibly the Apex TCB.
Own the I230s and these have been the most consistent irons I have played with. No fliers and great stopping power. Told my buddies that these are "cheat sticks" and they laughed. Let them hit them and they instantly like them as well.
Good comparison test and interesting results. I would suggest a comparison test for these same irons at a ten mph lower swing speed because carry, spin, launch angle, etc, may be quite different. At high swing speeds one usually sees longer carry distance with less spin, but that may not be the case with low swing speeds but I am not fully sure, and if so, at what swing speed this carry distance becomes less for same amount of spin?
T100 is the most forgiving Titleist iron since the birth of the AP2. There's a trend in manufacturers over the years decreasing the forgiveness of their irons, but the T100 reverses this trend. This data is collected from the Ralph Maltby head measurement and forgiveness scores. The Ping S55 is still the highest forgiveness score out of any players type iron in the last 10 years, only behind the Ping G425 GI iron by 11 points. Shame, it's also the ugliest.
If you hit the titleist or any club 6 times again the dispersion circle would be different …. pointless test… they're all the say, just a few with different lofts…
would love to get fit but i literally just bought new clubs 2 months ago xD
T100 all day. And I love that they give us a loft choice in the T100s without having to screw up the sole/bounce.
It's all in the swing inconsistent swing = inconsistent results.
I play the Wilson Staff Model CB’s, for their price point i dont think you would find a better iron comparatively, they were as good as the P7MC when i went for my fitting and 2/3 the price.
Do you ever test any of the DTC irons from companies like Takomo and Sub70? More budget conscious.
You should have included the Mizuno Pro 223 irons! Why did you skip them? They destroy all the other irons lol
I230 is a beast. T100 is very forgiving and 921 Tour is also very forgiving for a pure forged cavity. Great test.
Forgiveness wise, how does the Ping i230 compare to Mizuno Pro 225 and P770 and P790?
Thanks guys!!
Even though I play Ping i230, I do believe this video represents more what club fits best for this individual than what club is most consistent. Anno 2022 these data can be obtained objectively through parties like Garmin and Arcoss. They have databases with millions of shots by players with various clubs and handicaps. Curious what their analysis reveals.
