Thanks, a really nice video and especially using a high handicapper like Brent for testing game improvement irons - far more realistic for that genre of iron. Now in my super senior years I need a bit more help and I am thinking of getting a fitting for the ZX4s which Brent felt they looked a bit small, but as I currently play JPX919s forged irons I think they might be a good match as I don't like chunky clubs. Look forward to future videos.

@mikethomas7290 4 ай бұрын

@@dustinwalden7091I’ve been trying out a bunch of different irons. For me I saw an increase in distance and efficiency. For example my r7 7 iron will carry 168 yds with a 1.34 smash factor. Where as something like the Ping G430s, I was carrying a 7 iron 192 yds with a 1.48 smash factor. It all sounds nice, but the result is a huge yardage gap between where the irons end and wedges begin. Ping does have a retro set that weakens the lofts. I just don’t know if it’s enough. Maybe I’ll just need to carry extra wedges. The one thing that surprises me the most is I saw no improvement in accuracy over the r7s with anything I tested.

@flybirds2024 6 ай бұрын

Love that you used an actual mod to high handicapper to test the same type of iron. Makes it much more relatable. Well done. Only thing I wonder is how fatigue effected his hit with the later club or how warming up effected his early clubs. This really opened my eyes to the Cobra and helped solidify my interest in Mizuno. Wish you didn’t use the HL version though. Great video.

@NewNineGolf 6 ай бұрын

Thank you! Ya I think the fatigue definitely played a factor. I think he took that into consideration in the rankings. Cant go wrong with either the cobras or the Mizunos. The HM and the HM high launch are pretty similar except obviously one launches higher. Haha. I hit the regular Hot Metal in my other video if you haven't watched it already. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7OcdZhqx7ytcX0.htmlsi=k2BnH6NoCy1RHLXV

@mikecoughlin4128 5 ай бұрын

First of all I'd like to say this was one of the best fitting sessions I've seen for the simple fact the golfer was like me, better actually from the scores he says he has. I'd like to see a follow u with the top 2 with shaft changes, loft, lie and length analysis. Maybe hitting on a hole makes sense for a low hdcp golfer but overall and especially with a high handicapper I would suggest using the driving range simulation. You're after the shot, not affects of sand or water or trees. Its about the numbers. It would be similar to choosing a sea side course with a lot of wind to judge ball flight characteristics.

OMG dude you found my clone, Brent, to do the game improvement iron fitting. Finally, a mid-high handicapper that I can relate to instead of a scratch golfer hitting the game improvement irons. By the way, I watched the video where you reviewed the game improvement irons and at the end of the video you said you would be bringing in a mid-high handicapper to also review the irons. I watch a crap load of KZfaq golf videos and this video ranks in my Top 5. Plus, I pushed the subscribe and like buttons after watching it today. One must never forget that the mid-high handicappers far outnumber the low-scratch handicappers. And we mid-high golfers are more prone to drink the Kool-Aid if we think it will trim strokes off our game on a continual basis.

@kent3874 6 ай бұрын

Nice to have a high handicapper rating clubs, as many YT reviewers ratings dont translate to the higher handicapper, as this example just showed with a very different ranking. One point I would make in pulling out the worst shot, I would do it by absolute deviation from the center line, not based upon a simulated water location on a particular hole and leaving in a shot with worse dispersion just because one happened to get lucky on that hole and hit it so far off line that you were actually wide of the water on that particular hole. Because the goal is to hit the ball straight according to a target line, and so the deviation should be based on distance from the center, regardless of the trouble left or right on that particular simulated hole. Hitting left of the water would be your worst shot on most holes, but you just got lucky on that particular hole that the hit was so bad it was left of the water. So, it should be measured in general terms, with the farther from the center line, the worse the shot.

It's easy to make fun of some random person's swing, but the reality is we all started somewhere. I've been very recently humbled by an old swing video of mine from late 2022, so at least he was willing to put it out on the internet. Fitting is hard with a swing like this that creates more opportunity for inconsistency, but I think it's also helpful to see how having the right club/shaft combo can help with that while you improve the swing. A ball fitting would be beneficial for most people as well. I would love to see that in some future videos for different handicaps/skill levels.

Very cool to watch this video! I should have watched it when it came out, but it just popped up for me - I'd have been interested to try some of these myself. I just bought the Ping G425 last month; I also bought a new putter, so I decided going with the second latest in tech was OK, and left me with the money for the putter. I'm a 17 handicap so I felt all of this. I'd been playing stiff shafts, but at 56 years old, I figured it was time for me to give that up. My swing isn't nearly as strong as Brent's. Used to be, but no more. My miss has nearly consistently been short and right, so the Ping with the offset head was a good solution for me.

I’m a 21 handicapper myself my 135yard approach game is good. Great putting. If my driver shows up I can break 90 but typically shoot mid to low 90s. With my irons I end up left side of the fairway when off Centre and almost never see the right side. I got fitted last year from my 93’ golden eye pings to Titleist T-200s. I wanted to love the stealths or hot metals but the ping G430 were actually my best but too pricey. I wish the new t350s came out by then bc I would had went with those but the 2022s were so ugly I couldn’t. Might need to swap out the 7-4 irons to 350s this year.

I’ve got a fitting at GOLFTEC and using only 7-P of the Ping G430 regular launch with senior graphite shafts. I am 68 and need every advantage . They gave me 10 yards plus great consistency. I really liked the looks of the JPX but didn’t hit it as good. To each their own I’d say.

Golftec is great. I'm glad you found something that works. Ya exactly, everyone is different.

For the last year or so, I was playing the Cleveland Launcher XL Halos. Probably in the running for the ugliest clubs ever made, but I don't by clubs for their looks, and their forgiveness is amazing. They helped me make massive improvements in my iron play, so much that I decided it was time to level up and just got fitted into a set of Srixon ZX5's. I definitely think the Halos are a great choice for a beginning golfer to make the game more fun while working on fundamentals.

I have a set of Srixon mkii ZX4's...I like them very much but I would like the launch the ball higher and have less roll out. I would like to have all clubs adjusted with 2 degrees of stronger lofts. Good idea or should I bite the bullet and buy a set of player irons (ZX5 or 7's)?

@NewNineGolf 6 ай бұрын

You can try bending them 2 degrees weak and see? Your bounce will also change tho so if your consistent enough. Zx5 might not be a bad idea. I'd suggest getting fitting or at least testing them out first. Good luck. ⛳🏌️‍♂️

Definitely have to give props to the mid handicap golfer! I hope they have went out to get some pro lessons, I am certain once they become more consistent with their swing it would not matter what iron's they're hitting. Cool video overall, so many of those visual things are kind of tricky, I like a club that looks good, but I am sticking with my set of M4 clubs...

Brent showed a lot of heart in putting his swing on YT. I know there were a few negative comments about his swing, I hope Brent ignores them. As long as Brent is enjoying his golf, I do not care how his swing looks. In order to improve the video I would suggest include the lofts of each of the clubs. Hopefully there is another video where Brent gets fitted for shafts for both the Cobra and Mizuno and lets see which club comes out on top.

@NewNineGolf 5 ай бұрын

Definitely, most people dont realize how hard it is to swing when the cameras are on. Haha. Good suggestion, I usually try to include the lofts in my other videos. Missed it in this one for some reason. I'll try to get Brent back on for a fitting. Thanks for watching and the comment. Cheers

Loved this vid, Ignoring all the noise in comments. I’m very similar to this guy as far as problems I have and the way I swing and I think this might’ve really narrowed down my choices for my next iron set

@eldanberkley5657 4 ай бұрын

Great video I definitely relate but I’d rather get lessons from my cousin, then later buy irons when I can consistently hit fairways. Definitely was already thinking Titleist T300’s.

@franklinniesterjr3812 6 ай бұрын

M4's are not bad irons. I came back to the game in 2020 after a 15 year layoff and started back with some used TOUR BURNERS. AGE DIFFERENCE BTWN PLAYING was 42 to 57. Speed and back are not the same as before, so for the first time in life, I took two lessons, driver and irons. Got to a 16 HCP and got fitted for TaylorMade SIM2 MAX OS, VENTUS 6 65G shafts, midsize grips. Now, Im at a 10 HCP and I LIVE IT!!! Not buying clubs again till these are wore out. I live in PINEHURST and I play ALL OVER. AVG is about an 81. This guy has incredible clubhead speed, but before he buys clubs, he should get a lesson on stance and swing. It would definitely help him before he buys any clubs.

@moedark4390 that's fair. I'm personally not a big fan of hybrids, so I don't carry any. The D9s are just so damn hittable even outside of the center of that face that they almost feel like what hitting a hybrid feels like.

Would have loved to see the standard 923 HM’s in his hands too, as I think they’d maybe suit more. They launch nice and high too, and the extra offset on the HL version may not have suited his swing as much.

@LDGreenkat 25 күн бұрын

Hey man new to the channel, really good content helping me a lot with my decision on which clubs to get. Just one question I’m really wondering questions around what are some of your favorite shafts. A lot of companies offer a multitude of different brands and types. Going for a stiff feel and just wondering what brands and shafts you can’t go wrong with. Hopefully some of the options will be free on the websites(multitude of them are). Thank you man!

@NewNineGolf 25 күн бұрын

The only shaft I suggest for you is the one you get fit for 🤷‍♂️ Sorry that’s probably not the answer you were looking for but it’s the only right answer.

Is a stiff shaft right for his club speed? Just asking as ive just been fitted for wilson d9 forged irons with a similar club speed, i had a 180 on my good swings but apparently stiff shaft is for 85mph+

@NewNineGolf 5 ай бұрын

It depends on the shaft. My guess is he's probably between a regular and a stiff and could probably benefit from a regular or a lighter one to get his spin up. But he does have an aggressive transition though so I'm kinda interested to get him in for a fitting to see. 🍻

I love the video and the relatability. I think Brent could use lessons and a sizing session. My gut tells me the shaft lengths are too long for him, it looked to me like he was up on his toes trying to make good contact.

I love how everyone is dogging this guy’s swing even though the point of the video is to show a high-handicapper’s swing. Props to this dude for doing it. And I wish more reviews for game improvement irons was done like this cause it’s pointless to watch a pro smash them and tell me how good or bad they perform. I’m a high handicapper and just tested the Titleist T300s but could not hit them well at all. I hit nothing but fades with them, which is my usual miss. Hoping to find something that I hit better than my 2004 Big Berthas. The search continues.
