I have the 245’s in the bag and they perform as good as they look. Mizuno absolutely nailed it.

@glenburr6755 2 ай бұрын

I just bought a set of Players irons for $200. 2006 Callaway X20 Tours. Great irons that I can get launch and landing angles that are playable for my slow swing speed.

@TheBilleClub Ай бұрын

For me it is the 2024 Ben Hogan Icon irons, or the Titleist T100 irons. I have found that for me , the Hogan icon irons truly feel so pure when I play them. They have a balanced feel when I swing them, it seems almost effortless. These clubs have a solid sound when struck with a crisp fluid feel through impact. These clubs along with the Titleist T 100 clubs seem to have a very tight dispersion and seem to be workable in both directions while hitting their numbers in yardage. Just pure enjoyment. However, I spent several hours getting use to each. Golf just gets better and better. The Hogan's are the real deal ! Plus, they are priced so you don't feel guilty about spending the money as you might with others. Thanks to both the Ben Hogan Golf Company and Titleist for their hard work in truly perfecting these irons sets.

Thanks for the review. I went with the Titleist T200 due to the consistency and looks. Love the ball flight and I do feel like I can work the ball a little either direction. I'm an aging golfer so I wanted something with a little more distance and yet still maintain consistency. Love my Titleist T200s! PS There are some great irons in this category so kinda hard to go wrong with some of the classics (Taylormade, Mizuno, Ping, Callaway and Srixon). You need to go with what works for you and suits your eye.

For the social golfer, the cheaper clubs work just as well as the most expensive clubs. 4 to 5 years old, affordable clubs score the same... just check your handicap history. Club manufacturers are charging outrageous prices to cover the marketing and the hype it generates.

Actually did hit them. Big difference between inside on a mat and outside on grass. Just my opinion, no need for you to make assumptions about things you know nothing about.

@whiskeythrottle2266 2 ай бұрын

@toddhatfield5181 There is literally no difference. If you hit the ball first, like you're supposed to. The ball feels exactly the same. It sounds the same, feels the same. I love the clubs I purchased that I hit off a mat first. Took them out to grass, omg, they feel exactly the same. Every club I've ever hit doesn't change the feel from grass to mat. I hit the ball first. You seem angry, I get it. You purchased clubs you don't like. That's seems to be a you issue, haha. Good day sir!
