Great review! I was fitted this summer and went with the T300s from Titleist - changed my game, but I know all of these are stellar irons as well! Thanks for the vids!

I got back into golf with the Wilson LP2 set, per your recommendation. I'd absolutely give them an honorable mention! Great video, as always

I love my G710 irons. I've been able to drop my handicap from 20 to near 15 just this summer. They have very little feel but that's the tradeoff for how unbelievably forgiving they are. I even got my first hole in one with them.

Mizuno state that the MP225 is for low to mid handicap golfers but as a 17 handicapper I can confirm that I hit my 225's out the middle more often than I have hit any club before. I think the smaller head concentrates the mind on finding the middle more easily than it does when you have a bigger headed club. As far as I am concerned, they are a lovely looking club, feel fantastic and have improved my game considerably. I hope to be sub 15 before the winter.

I’ve tried most irons from this year and last and I settled for the Srixon ZX5’s, they are amazing

Good video James. I wasn't sure my forge tec x's would make your list but I'm glad they did. Yes they were a bit pricey but worth it for me cause I've never been fitted and bought brand new irons before. Cheers

Got Takomo 201's because of you. Absolutely love the value out of them and the price allowed me to get something fitted for me

Been looking forward to a video like this..

Great review. Thanks James.

Just got my g710s in October (trying since July) went to lite shafts as I’m getting older … I have hit some beautiful shots with them and I think I ❤ them … since I’m in 🇨🇦 I may have played my last game until next season … can’t wait!!!

Very interesting. Thank you!!

They've been around awhile but the most overlooked game improvement irons might be the Cleveland UHX irons. I tried all the big brands and these were longer, at least for me, at about half the price. Had my eye on the Srixon ZX4s which I really liked the looks of, but UHX were about half a club longer in the 7 iron even though the Cleveland has 1.5 degrees weaker loft. Clevelands about a full club or more longer than my old Ping G25s. I know some people aren't crazy about the looks but I like them. The hollow body 4 iron is very long off the tee. Worth a look. PS-that Takomo set does look pretty cool.

I am a high handicap player. I just got the Calaway Max ST OS irons. These clubs give the high handicap player all kinds of help, forgiveness and confidence. Highly recommend 👍.

I guess my biggest question is what is a mid handicapper and what is a high handicapper. I've come back to golf after a significant time away from the geam and been having lessons for about 18 months and handicap is coming down from c21 to just over 17 but really aiming for 14-15 next year. I have 12yr old irons (Wilson FatShaft), which are in good nick and was setting myself the incentive of getting to 16 before I invest in a new set. I will definitely get irons fitted but will I be a mid handicapper or high handicapper so what bracket should I be focusing on ? Thanks for the great video's James

Great video James! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Cobra Air-X irons!

Class video once again mate 👌

Is anyone else as impressed as I am with how this man puts with his irons? My man literally walks up to the ball and slaps it and still puts better than me.

Got my Takomo 101's this year and love them! I got fitted to Titleist T300's and used the specs to custom order my 101's. I'm getting 10-15 extra on yardage and hitting them straighter than straight for $489 delivered.

lol @ raving about the Pings and then hitting that shot.... Never change James! :D

I have 2020 forged tec but I can't get away from wanting those mizuno pro 225s! They are just so good looking!

lol. Just got fitted for some G710’s last night. Bought myself a 7 a few months ago just to test them out and I absolutely love it. Figured I should get fitted for the rest of the set if I’m gonna drop so much money on them. Gonna start getting lessons within the next few months too. The fact that they’ve been on the market for 2 years now and still haven’t gone on sale (while others like the G425 have) is crazy.

Really enjoy your videos. I've been looking at Tomoko however I didn't know they had tungsten in them which is a feature I do like in hollow body irons. I went to their website but couldn't see any specs that said they did have tungsten. Just curious.

Hi James, I am disappointed that the Srixon ZX4 didnt make your list - During my fitting, I must of tried just about every manufacturer and shaft combination. I did go into the fitting with the cobra's in mind. However, the ZX4's were far more consistent in both distance and direction, they really felt great when striking the ball. Even the bad shots were better. I have had them for 7 weeks now and already shaved 3 points off my handicap. Keep up the great work.

I knew it was a Ping from the outset, but I expected it to be the G425. So impressed that I bought the driver, hybrid and irons.

Great choices James and it’s hard to disagree

Another good video James,it’s the Takomo irons for me though.

Feel like the Srixon ZX5 (or more suitably the ZX4) should be rated up there in terms of forgiveness and feel. Like a hot knife through butter and so consistent

PXG 0211 DC irons could be included in that group, for price, forgiving and looks. A further test would be to mishit toe and heel shots and see which club are the most forgiving.

I am stunned that Taylormade or titleist didn’t make the list! For me the Callaway Apex DCB are in my bag, super forgiving, and I am an 8 handicap

Hi James did u ever test the tour edge 721 irons if so how did u find them .I've just hit some and they feel awesome .

Still getting better and better with my Mizuno 921 Hot Metals. They fly like nothing else I have ever hit before. And the 923s are out here Friday.

Hi Ya James, is the answer low spin for what is common with these irons? I find trouble with them not sticking to the greens when using a 7 iron or lower (5-7 especially) if ya hit it them a little low and don't get that high launch. These are a great class of irons and fun to play!

Any feedback on the ZX5 irons? I’ve been looking into those as a 20 handicap

Hi , James I looked at what the pros on the pga tour was using I saw that the second most used iron was the ping i210 ? What do you think , I saw you did a review a while back thoughts on them now ?

Are the TM P790s or the callaway rogue st max good irons for beginners? Been eyeing them both up and leaning more towards the TM's

Why no Callaway? I prefer the Callaway lineup. I'm playing the Apex 21 and love them. (14 HCP) I really like your videos, quality material with your respected opinion. Keep up the great work.

Great review surprised Stealth irons and T3300/400 not in the mix. I went for T300 great clubs in looks and performance.

I’m seriously thinking of ordering the Takomo irons. I can get my 1/2” longer with an X-Stiff shaft. I did try the 101T and liked it.

Would like to know your thoughts on srixon ZX5 irons

Ping G710, I could tell because I have a set !! I seen them in your bag !!

Maybe if you did a top 10, the Ping G425 and the TaylorMade Stealth would have made the list? Hollow bodied irons are the best and so was this video! Thanks James!

Im a Mid-high handicapper and I'm still loving my p770s.

I bought Callaway XR Os irons 6 months ago I dropped from 21 too 15

🔥🔥🔥

I just love my tour edge C721 irons! Super forgiving but also give me predictable yardage every time!

Cool video but what was the name of the number 2 club???

10.2 handicap…. My favorite clubs so far have been the Sub70 699 pro…… I also wanna try the New Level 902 PD

I am a mid-high handicap player and just bought the Cobra Forged Tec X. Best clubs I ever played. I liked them better than the p790s.

You suprised there. Ping are releasing the new G430 range but not updated the G710 for which I use & love. I didn't think it would be on your list being it was so old, released Jan 2020. Even though Ping is expensive in Australia they are a good investment as they would last easily 10 years plus and they don't chop and change every year so you don't feel deflated after 6 months when other companies release a new range & have the old range is on sale.

Great review .. only one issue Ping dont sell the g710 anymore ?

My cobra king one lengths have been a game saver

I just bought a set of Tour Edge C522s. Liking them so far ( but it's still the archer, not the arrow).

what do you think about the Ping G5 ?

The tour edge irons do look unreal but I've just been fitted for Mizuno hot metal irons, or I'd of looked at these. Problem is the Mizuno irons are pretty and the tour edge are a little chunk down at the ball for me

I think the Srixon ZX4's are missing from this list. I have a set of these and they are game changers!!! I'm a 10 hdcp. I even got mine with the Recoil stiff shaft and they are fantastic.

I knew Takomo would be in there somewhere but wasn't sure if you'd pick the 101 or 101T. Trying to decide between 101s and the Tour Edge C722s at the moment personally.

new level 902 os irons look the part have you managed to get your hand on any yet to try James

Would like to get your input on the Wilson Staff D9 for the higher handicap golfers. They are much less money and are extremely forgiving.

Where- WHERE can I buy the Tacoma 101?? No luck! I do not see a link where to buy these irons.

Hollow body, foam insert, tungsten weight design

Fantastic video James. They are all hollow body

What’s the difference between G710 and G430 irons?

I'm definitely going to try those G710's out next time I had to Carls Golf land! Thank you for the video!

No music please! Your videos are of top notch production. If you want to play intro music, that’s fine, as is closing music at the end of the video. But “in video” music is just distracting and when it is the same little diddy over and over again, it is not only distracting, but actually annoying.

Ping g710 ❤❤❤❤ love them so much. Get compliments from everybody on the course just based on their looks. And they feel sooo amazing to hit!

I would love to see any actual high handicap player use the irons. I Feel that would be a little more realistic. But still love the reviews.

Can you get fitted for the Takomo..

I like Tour Edge clubs: bang for $! I often think that the one thing high and mid handicappers have in common is their desire to lower their handicap. If technology can help, then why not use it to your advantage. For me buying a set of irons doesn't make sense. Many mid to high handicap players have average to slow swing speeds. The irons in the 20-30 degree loft range often have the carry distances that bunch up. In my view most would be better off blending in hybrids, or hybrid -irons in the 20-30+ loft range and then adding in irons in their bag for the 110 yard shots and less. I can never understand why looks should influence club choice over function. If I can reliably hit the ball to the desired length with a club, I don't care if it is ugly. In my bag I have a Driver, 4 wood, 7 Wood, Single length 19 hybrid, 27 hybrid, 29 & 33 TE iron-hybrids, then single length 8-LW. You can order Tour Edge iron-hybrids with 1.5 flat lie angle to combat the " lefts" from off set.

Have you ever tested the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 or Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons?

great 3 out of five only right handed, oh great thanks for that golf companies

Srixon ZX 4 are amazing irons. I Have been searching for the perfect iron and found it in this set after playing Mizuno JPX and TaylorMade P790(2021s). Srixon is such an underrated club, check them out it would be worth putting them in you mix if your looking for new forgiveness irons.

Jame...Great content, as usual. Is the Ping twice as good as the Takomo 101? I'm guessing no, so why would anyone spend twice as much for only a marginal difference, if that?

All the Mizuno Clubs are pure quality.

The Tour Exotics C722 look good with less offset.

50 year old, 5 handicap and I still play G30’s. Left handed so I don’t have all the options!

The PXG 0211 are so slept on

Surprised not to see the Callaway Rogue ST MAX OS or TaylorMade Stealth. I picked up a couple of each so I could try them this summer and both are extremely forgiving and feel great with graphite shafts. If you are in the market for them, I don't imagine you could go wrong with any of the game improvement offerings out there now.

Unless you are on one of the professional tours use what ever golf clubs you want. Mid, high or low who cares just play the clubs you like. It just aggravates me to keep hearing high handicap when I am off of a 2 but I chose to play a Cobra forged tec set just because I like them a little more than my Wilson staff blade irons.

How do the ping g425 irons compare to the ping g710? I thought the 425s were the newest iteration to the G irons

I’ve seen the Takomo clubs on your channel before and am curious if you’ve ever reviewed any Sub70 clubs? Very similar companies and clubs it seems and would enjoy hearing your opinions.

I have changed to the Tour Edge C722 iros off 2, but 55 years young so I would suggest they are good for low handicaps

I'm a 10 handicap 3x week golfer - Ping 425 (too clicky), PXG 0211 (too big), Mizuno 225 (off center hits were a miss), Callaway Rogue ST (clickyish, but playable but look like cr@p after 10 rounds) - I've played each of these for a minimum of three months but the best of the bunch are the Cobra Forged Tec X. No comparison.

I really like the sound of the Takomo irons, problem is where can i try them? can i get fitted for them??

any chance of doing a video comparing irons with the same degrees of loft as opposed to reviewing just various brands of 6 irons . In other words you might review a P790 7 iron against a i525 6 iron as both have the same loft

Great review but a bit surprised you chose the Mizuno 225 over the JPX921 Forged or Hot Metal Pro. The latter two should be more suited for mid to high handicappers. I'd love to hear why you chose the 225 over those as I'm getting new irons soon. Time to retire my 2008 Titleist AP2's. Love your channel!

I’m left handed and it is frustrating that many manufacturers have limited options for lefties which I understand up to a point but you would think since there are more higher handicap golfers they would cater to them and offer left handed clubs. Tour Edge C722, Mizuno Pro 225s, and Takomo 101s aren’t made for lefties. I play lefthanded Tour Edge E522s and Wilson Launchpad 2s both of which I like

What do you think about Pxg 0311 gen 4 for a 11 Handicap golfer

No PXG 0211 James? Great deal and performance.

All the OEMs that make these type of irons 5 stars to you I think these type of irons are brilliant for all levels

Going for a fitting in October at Mizuno performance centre at Birkdale. Really fancy the MP225 but at £1200 compared to £500 Takomo I’m having 2nd thoughts. Just wish I could try the Takomo’s before I buy them

I wish Takomo had a uk distribution centre so you wouldn’t have to deal with the variable import taxes that can range from 15% to 40% I think that’s what will put a lot of people off getting them, I stopped buying things from overseas for that reason.

I want the forged tec X 🤔

Great video James! Time for me to check out Takomo 101's!

I ditched the forgiving irons for blades and my scores are coming down 20 handicap titliest mb 716

Tried several brands in the summer cobra ltd X worked best for me they were forgiving and long for me so went for those.

Do you recommend getting fitted for mid handicaps?

Xxio? My favorite!

What ever happened to the mp-32’s? Would like to see how they stack up to todays best players irons

I want to hit the takomos so bad but can't find them

Did you consider a pxg iron line
