Can you fellas do reviews of the new Ben Hogan irons?
Where would you put the Titelist T 200? Just curious.
P790 should not be considered in this list.
I think ol tator should have given Trev a kiss on the cheek on that pxg and said you never go against the family
Those picks are so close So test all 6 this time…Thanks…
No Takomo?
Trevor does because he is right, if he wanted to be wrong he would agree with Tayte.
I'm a new and improving golfer, I got fit into srixon zxi5's recently and they're wonderful. Major improvement over my old Titleist AP1 set for me
Seen enough of your videos to realize that Trevor does veto a lot of choices 😂😂
ping g
440?!!!
Minute 13:30….lol, "can we just nit make a thing about about it" I busted out laughing.
The zipcore tech is only 8i-sw. what iron number where you hitting?
salted chocolate would just be wrong, has to have caramel
Those Cleveland's are amazing clubs and should definitely get more attention. I'd like to see the next iteration take more inspiration from the ZXi4 but keep it as a cheaper option for customers. The longer face, weight balance, and the sole grind are great tools for a high handicapper.
I’m definitely getting older 68. My distance for all clubs has dropped off. Game improvement is definitely what I need. An example of lost distance, driver I used to ( about 5 years ago) consistently hit 300+ yards. Now I feel lucky to hit 250. Of course there are other issues involved. I’m currently being treated for lower back problems where I have pain radiating down my legs. Probably in a couple of months this will be resolved. I have my second nerve block being done in May. Then sometime after that RF ablation for more permanent relief.
Interesting review. Thank you.
No titelist 350 or apex 300??
Salted DARK chocolate. LOL
Trevor is correct about the sea salt and caramel. I’ve never seen a milk chocolate bar with salt. But definitely see dark chocolate with salt.
I just enjoy watching your videos…and yes one can buy salted chocolate without caramel.
What if i am old and just starting?
I do love my pxg blackops
Titelist t350?
Hogan Edge EX is the most underrated GI iron out there. And they're forged.
I got the Cleveland’s last year, best irons I’ve ever owned.
I Robot Will Smith Movie
Let me try (30 handicapper) these badboys!
And the winner is (should be) Maltby KE4 Max. Same quality or better, half the price or less.
i just got fitted and hit most of these and the ping 440 retro loft won hands down for me
No Takomo or Ping ?
Some of the game improvements are actually harder to hit for me. The black ops weren't out yet so i didn't get a chance to try them but I couldn't hit PXGs XP clubs for anything. The Ps were a much better fit for me…..the problem is I'm not good. I'm a 17 hcp. I shouldn't be hitting players irons better than I hit game improvments.
I play around a 8-10 just got my zxi5’s I love them.
C'mon guys, everybody knows this is not a complete review without the Ping G's!
Will Smith was in I Am Legend and iRobot, so I Am Robot plays.
Leaving Callaway , Ping, and Srixon out of the the testing is quite misleading. Also, all heads will react differently depending on shafts (steel, graphite, flex), swing speeds, etc. I beleive your testing would be more conclusive If you had several golfers with various swing speed and handicaps hitting all club heads with different options.
C’mon no ping is bonkers!
What about the Titleist T350s???
night seeker !
Love the channel boys, I’ve had my p790s for about a month now, absolutely love them had Sim Max 2 prior as I started taking the game more seriously but still wanted forgiveness to my handicap. Great review spot on!
No way this guys a 5 handi. 😂
It’s weird that you have not included the world’s most popular GI clubs – the Ping G series – currently G440 irons. Bizarre?
Gotta get fitted first. Taking some lessons then getting fitted
I bought a set of Pxg Blk Ops irons with Mitsu Mmt stiff shafts this year. Best irons I’ve ever had! 👍🏻🇺🇸 Plus the Hero discount was icing 🧁
Callaway review video- definitely top 5 improvement club. This video callaway elyte out the window. Really.
I was fit last year into the the jpx923 hot metal HL with reg graphite shaft. I've been playing for a long time and an 11 hdcp and 58 yrs old. These irons are the real deal. When I was fit I literally hit 6 or 7 different brands and these by far were my favorite and my fitters Go To.
Just curious: Ping didn’t even get a mention. Hmmm??
