It really was brother! 😂

Scott, you're a real one! Appreciate the support as always 🫡

Srixon was such a close 2nd for me, frankly super close to a toss up!! What specs did you go with in yours?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie 3 iron, 20 degrees, stiff shaft. its my 220 club and I love throwing darts with it

Thanks playa, much love!!

Love to hear this, it's such a great utility iron!! 923 Tour's are also fantastic and I actually have a new video coming out with them tomorrow! 👀 What specs did you end up with in your irons/utility?

Absolutely love that Gary! The 245 seems like it would flow really nicely into the Fli-Hi based on size and offset. Then having that PXG to keep low off the tee is a really fun bag setup ! Do you play a 3W and driver or something different to round out the set?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie At the top end of the bag, I have a TSR3 driver and waiting for the Callaway Mini Driver to arrive. I never hit a 3 wood off the deck and after a swing change that helped my driver swing, it messed up my 3 wood swing off the tee so switching to a Mini Driver now as I'll put a similar swing with it as my driver. I also have a Paradym Super Hybrid (3 hybrid) that I'll be alternating with the 0317X utility.

Ben hogan really makes some super underrated irons! I'm hoping to test them here soon. What irons are you currently gaming?

You're a legend brother, thanks for the kind words!!

Love to hear it! ZX MKII UT 4i is so good, I played it last year for a bit and it was genuinely one of my favorite clubs to hit.

Love to hear it, feels like Mizuno is simply not missing with their latest iron releases! Are you gaming anything else Mizuno in your bag?

Same here. I'm considering during the Steelfiber F4 shafts in my 225 irons too...great shaft and a perfect fit for the Fli-Hi

@@TheEquipmentJunkie i have the mixuno 223 irons 4 to pw and t24 raw wedges 52 and 58 and mixuno omoi #6 putter

When I get home I will go to pga superstore and give them all a run

Really appreciate your support Dave! I'm working on trying to get the software necessary to add summary's or possibly just put Quad numbers on the screen. Shafts were Nippon Modus GOST in the Srixon and Mizuno, Project X HZRDUS RDX Smoke Black in PXG and UST Recoil Dart in the Taylormade 👍

@@TheEquipmentJunkie Thanks for the reply! Always wanted to try the GOST shaft! Keep up the great work!

My man!! It really means a lot to hear that brother! I really do my best to keep pushing/putting out the best content I can. Hopefully I can just make stuff that you guys enjoy and is genuinely useful in terms of building out your golf bags/helping everyone shoot lower scores! Is there any specific style content you'd like to see? Would love to hear some ideas or feedback!

@@TheEquipmentJunkie Well first off, I think people that sub or even just come across your channel because of the algorithm, really enjoy what you put out right now! It’s informative, and fun to watch like other good creators. But I think it’s your “maturity”, or professionalism, that sets you apart. Or at the least puts your channel in a small group of other creators. It’s that attitude and way you carry yourself that can make us viewers take your word for things when you review them. Your content just has a different level of polish and professionalism all while still being funny and entertaining to watch. As far as moving forward…I think you should play to your strengths! Solid reviews and comparisons of clubs that people are interested in. But you could also bring in a guest that plays differently than you to see how they feel about some clubs. Maybe have a company rep come in and give you an interview or something like that showing off the tech they’re working on or what their pros use. And I wouldn’t mind watching you play a round or something with another player now and then. Just to break up the equipment focus of your channel. 🤣. I bet you weren’t expecting all that! 🤣. Please don’t misunderstand me though, your channel is outstanding as it is right now. And it’ll only go up as you keep putting stuff out that you’re proud of. That way, it’s never really about money. It’s about doing what makes you proud, which will eventually bring in money as well as pride in what you do. Sorry to talk your ear off dude!! Keep up the great work! 👍🙏

Nippon Modus GOST in Srixon and Mizuno. HZRDUS RDX Smoke Black in PXG. UST Recoil Dart in Taylormade. Love that setup! I'm hoping to mess with the ZX 3i at some point soon, think it might be slightly more playable than the 2i.

Thanks for the kind words! I think the P-UDI would be an ideal 4i replacement out of this lineup and then the Srixon 2nd 👍

Thanks for the feedback and kind words! After spending some time thinking about it, I felt the UDI was the best comparison, as these are all meant to be a driving iron first and utility second imo. That said, in an ideal world a club between the UDI and DHY would have been the perfect comparison because the Mizuno, Srixon and PXG all sort of sit in that middle ground from a design perspective. The Srixon is such a good club and a pretty close second for me behind the Mizuno, but I think it would be darn near perfect in a 3i as you have it built! 9TX Ventus is crazy! That sound like a low bullet monster when necessary but also can get it up in the air with the bit of added loft vs. a 2i. I love that!

@@TheEquipmentJunkie 100% correct and agree with you across the board. You should try the 9TX (you need to be at D3 or greater sw I’ve found due to balance point and srixon head being a light component; hot melt in mine), I’m certain the TX moniker is just intended to differentiate it from the blue offering, I don’t think it’s too harsh or stiff at all (blue feels loose to me)! Cheers man!

SIM UDI is a beast! Have you had a chance to test either of the new P UDI/DHY models? If so, what did you think?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie I have not. I just cracked the face on SIM UDI. So I have a back up head I’ll put on. But - I do have a Takomo 2 and 3 iron head to test as well. Once I get numbers I will probably check the new Taylormade stuff.

I think when it comes to these clubs or really any clubs, there isn't really a right or wrong. It's just super important to consider who you are as a player and what shots you need in your bag to shoot your lowest scores on the courses you play. For most slower speed players these clubs can be really awesome in a 4i or 5i because the lower and further back CG offers more help/height but without moving into a hybrid which some people don't like the look of. That said, as you move into a 21* or less lofted club, it usually makes more sense to go into a hybrid or fairway because they are hotter, launch higher and are more forgiving. On the contrary, for really high speed players sometimes it's very hard to build a hybrid or fairway between 17* and 20* that doesn't launch too high or spin too much. So it makes more sense to build a lower lofted iron to hit the windows they are looking for. But again, a lot of this is course dependent and just understanding what you need to shoot your lowest scores. If you play in windy/links conditions it may make more sense to use a driving iron to keep the ball on the ground, even if you are a slower speed player. If you play on long courses with thick rough and firm greens, it may make more sense to use a higher lofted wood even if you are a faster player (a couple great examples of this is Dustin Johnson using a 24* 9-Wood in his bag and Xander Schauffele using a 7 wood to win the PGA Championship).

I use the Shot Tracer Pro app 👍

It's absolutely superb! A very close 2nd to the Mizuno IMO and likely ahead of it if you are just looking for a "driving focused" style iron (which it appears you are). What does your setup look like spec wise?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie mkII 3, recoil dart 91 gram “S” 250-260 yards if I smoke it, but typically a 230 club with a smooth swing, which is what I aim for. It bridges the gap between my zx7 5 iron and my 3 wood

Thanks for the comment! I don't have club speed numbers with the 2/3 irons unfortunately, but last time I looked at driver I was around 116-118 MPH. Because the Fli-Hi is so easy to launch, it's possible I would match my iron shafts and go a little heavier/softer. That said, if I was looking for it to be more of a driving style club, I'd actually likely consider the Srixon with a lighter/stiffer graphite option (I find this head lower launch). What is your current driver swing speed and what shaft are you liking in that club at the moment? Or if you aren't in love with the driver shaft, what iron shafts are you liking at the moment?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie I'm just under the 100 since Ive gone to a shorter back swing, I have an older XXIO 9.5 with a 45g S ,( I'm looking to go to a 55-60g with an X S but having said that, This driver got me the longest drive win 3 years in row, the last one was in Feb this year, at Cape shanck, Vic Australia, 13th hole on that day was playing at 310m, it rolled onto the green. I did go Full on swing, Just on that hole, had a point to prove. I've also just bought an Epic max with 60g S, I get more forgiveness but I'm not sure about distance now that it's winter. 3 wood is an old Tour E Bazooka HT max D with a 65R extra inch longer, Hard to replace,This bloody thing is crazy, best I've hit this was 288m, ye great roll,bit of a wind assist, but the best baby draw. Don't normally carry a driver in winter here because of this 3 wood. and because of this I've picked up at least 6 3 woods to find one that is better and to possible replace my driver all together, no luck yet, even bought the Krank 3wood 13* again, winter is hard to get big numbers while playing in damp fairways and 12-15c(53-60F) Bazooka is still in the bag. the Srixon Z785 5 Iron with the 105 steel. =180m . I also have an old Callawy XL 5Iorn with a 130g S Shaft, that bumps it up to 200m hoping the Fli Hi 2 can give me the 220m I need to get on the par 5's in two.

I agree. The PXG feels very soft, but still retains quick ball speed which is super neat compared to most other DI’s. Are you gaming PXG irons as well ?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie I play the PXG 0317T in my 4-PW but have the SM9’s in Gap through LW.

My buddy works for a high end golf shaft company and is looking for KZfaqrs to test and review new equipment. What would be the best way to get a hold of you to get you equipment to test?

3 iron in this video 👍

I can only include 4 models per video, but I am considering a Part 2 to this video... If I made one, which 4 models would you like to see?

P-DHY it’s phenomenal

Mizuno really knows how to make a utility iron! Are you currently gaming the new Fli-Hi? If so, what specs did you go with?

TM was a 3i bent to 19*, Mizuno 3i @ 19*, PXG was the "X" iron @ 18* and Srixon was a 2i @ 18*. As mentioned in the video, unfortunately not all companies' stock DI lofts match up.

I would have loved to throw a Titleist model in there, but I can only include 4 models per vid. If I made a Part 2, which four models would you want to see?

Lol yeah right. I love KZfaq golf comments. Bro I drive par 4a with my 9 iron dawg.

Could only include 4 models in this video. Would you like to see a Part 2 of this? If so, which 4 models should I include?

I keep hearing great things about the Ping Crossover! Would you want to see a Part 2 of this video? If so, which 3 models should I include aside from the Ping?

@@TheEquipmentJunkie Compare the Mizuno to the Ping and the new offerings from Taylormade.

Wilson is always super underrated! I'm hoping to test out the new SM irons here soon. I have also heard tons of great things about the Ping and maybe I'll include that in a Part 2 of this video 👀. What four models would you like to see if I made a Part 2?

Ping, takomo (if you can get your hands on one), Wilson, callaway

Terrible take the Srixon blows the ping icrossover out of the water

That srixxon when I hit it felt great. It wasn't available at the time, but hooe to get one pretty soon

Did not get along with the Ping either

No.

OK, Grandpa 👴🏽 it’s happy time now 😂
