Loft is loft. 30° will go further than 34°. Calling them each a 7 iron is wrong. Sorry, just the way it is.
Hell, just call a 24° a 7 for your bruised ego. Scratch out 4 and put 7. Get over it already. You don't hit the ball far. So what? Accept it and go on. Hit the 5.

@kev12558

Sold my Mizunp JPX921’s & bought Ping G425. Regretting it purely from a feel perspective 😢

@lukeculshaw5011

can you recommend anything similar for high handicappers tyty

@Montytobin

some srixon z765s just came into the pro shop, im gonna get them

@George-ld9xu

W/S went a bit off the rails with the fat shaft and have been struggling to recover ever since. I LOVE my fg-17s, and the brand always makes high quality forgings. Remember, the pros play clubs made by the highest bidder, NOT the best quality.

@mrhappytime4191

Ping g20 my fav driver I always hit it further than others
No idea why

@ryancorr1006

Hi- thanks for the great review. I am about 22 handicap so I am on the high end still. Would the Wilsons be a great set to get and grow into? Currently carry a 7iron (30 deg loft) around 145 yards.

@18stags

Got fitted for Wilson D7s about 3 years ago, had one of the rubber inserts come out of my 7 iron and just recently one came out my pitching wedge. They are very nice irons but the fact that the inserts come out, I would never buy clubs with inserts ever again.

@Hartlepoolgolfer

I have a set of srixon z star forged irons. They seem to be like unicorn teeth. Haven't seen anyone else use them or even for sale! Good forged irons tho.

@edge21str

Got a 5-PW set of 745s for £210 last year. They're great. They're dinged up, have some signs of usage on the club face and I had to get some new grips, but they feel great and for the price, I really can't complain.

@B-Cool_at_Golf

I am a high single handicapper, and I ended up getting the Wilson D9s forged because I found a new set for almost the same as set D7s. I love them; they look and feel great.

@tomsettles6873

Simon could you do a comparison on trackman with Ping G10, G15, G20, G25 and G30 drivers? I'm interested to see hoe the G15 stacks up in this group. Thanks

@lylehastie1988

Hey mate, really dont like these new styles of video. The stock footage makes it really cheap and clunky, your old style was far better IMO!

@rochie1417

Please don't jump on the bandwagon with these shit random video inserts. Your format with you talking on camera was really good.

@keithpanco

I feel the same way about putters.

@Adam-mt8dg

Great video, iron related questions for the mid-high handicapper… grips! It's great when you pick up a bargain, but re-gripping is an investment, is it worth it?

As you said Simon ping eye 2 plus are the best mid to low handicap forgotten irons for £250 if you can find them

@nerradbanksie1

My issue tends to be getting height, and therefore stopping it on the green, it seems like they all carry 150 but run for another 200 yards!

@jonbuffry3175

Can hit pw 150 plus but can’t hit anything above 7 driver 200 but keep hitting shaft. Wtf is going on ?

Big Bertha 2010 I think they are ones that came out with the driver. Driver ping g with the fins after your recommendation.

Looks like I’m coming down on the ball but how am I getting 150’plus arrow straight with irons untill 7 ?

@andylinacre8231

Needed a second set looked high & low all strong prices (even second hand sets ) !! Got a brand new Ben Ross HTX full set with the putter £115 including delivery , been using them since November one of the best golfing decisions Ive made !! A quality set & brand !!

@ultimatejay

I don't know why people are against strong lofted irons. You get to use shorter length irons that are easier to hit and go the same distance. Why would you not want that?

@westhamaremassivee

Always been a taylormade lad but went over to cobra a year ago and id never change back. My set is radspeed one length irons with speedzone driver 3 wood its mad how much this set has changed my game

@DeonHansen-rb4lo

Absolutely spot on. You make great sense in your videos. Srixon irons are really special feel wise. Love your work mate.

@robcooke7060

Waiting for the high handicapped version of this.

Also interested in your views on graphite shafts especially in the second hand market.

@rickcudmore8156

I was fitted for the PXG 0211 DC irons, 6-GW with MMT 70 graphite shafts 2 years ago. They are 1/2" shorter and 2 degrees flat. My hcp has dropped from 18-11.

@stuartturner8743

What irons would you recommend? I am 74. Cannot get ball very high. Like my seven iron. 134. I would like to get more distance. Can you help?

@Handletaken4

I bought a near new set of T-Zoid from Japan. The biggest help to my scores has been moving up to 6200 yds.

@jimbarrett8349

Just got the WS D9 forged (5-pw) for £315, it was an ex demo set but had never been hit, heads and grips still in wrappers. Played twice and loving the feel, even in the frost.

@xXcharliegoonerXx

Haven't watched the video yet but I'm gonna raw dog recommend the Wilson Staff D7 forged, lovely KBS $ taper shaft as standard, just be careful of listings, the 100 are the stiff, any heavier is X and any lighter is R.

I bought some cobra king forged one length irons (don't really know the model that's all the info on the club head) 4-pw for 240€ and they've been a peach. I have a fairly quick swing speed so the 4 iron is easy to get off the ground and they're solid, consisten irons all around that are nice to hit
Edit: I think they're the 2017 model

@CamMacMastermusic

Currently playing the Wilson D7’s and they are awesome. I’ve seen many people “ graduate “ up to the T-100’s or P-770’s only to come back to their old D7’s. Definitely worth a go if you’re in the market.

@mygolfjourney888

Great content. Thanks mate

@chrisscott558

I have D9. Great clubs

@paulmcgee1867

Love playing old clubs but don't find the same deals on irons that suit me. I do have a few though 😂

@atreyuwings

What if I’m a low mid handicap golfer but I’ve always played with blades. If I switch to some more forgiving irons, I might lose some strokes and then I wouldn’t be a mid handicap golfer anymore and I’d be using the wrong irons for my skill level?

@John-p6c4c

Picked up a set of PXG 0211 XCor2 hollow bodied irons 7-LW with Project X graphite shafts for £275..seriously good deal

@featherfoot614

Pretty much anything Wilson Staff. Personally, I've picked up the FG Tour V2 and F5, and the C300 forged all for under $250 US.

@brucepamkimber2556

About I was fitted at Club Champion for a set of irons that cost around two thousand dollars. They were the worst junk I have ever tried to play. The entire build was wrong. I then got a set of Hogan ptx pro’s and have been happy with them since. And about a third the price.

@johnalden6584

I’m very pleased with & still playing my vintage Adams Tight Lies irons, thank you.

@JJ-ic6pn

Picked up a set of nice z545 forged 4-PW with good midsize grips for £130.
Bargain.

@CoD3x4life

Doesn’t fit in the price criteria but I myself went from older cobra forge tec, to Nike Vapor Flys ( I know it’s an odd choice) but lemme tell you…. The easiest club I’ve ever been able to hit and they are consistent. And they’re Nike so they look awesome too!

@seanpeacock5595

299 pounds? I wish

Just looked these up yesterday in Canada. $1,000Cdn 😮

@codyr4816

Ping I e1 another solid option that will last forever because of their durability

@bball40dtw

Great content. I’m a mid handicaper playing Hogan PTX Pros. I started with a cobra game improvement club, but the second hand Hogans have been so much more consistent for me. I thought I was going to lose forgiveness, but I actually gained consistency.

@andyspey913

I love my pxg 0211 irons you mentioned, +1 golfer 54 years of age, must just suit me loads of height and spin 6-pw,rarely use 5 iron as my 4 hybrid a good gap for 195-200 yards, reg shafts too.

@a.m.doesit9347

that butter knife 🤣

@jbweezer

Gunna keep my Adams CB3s in the bag this year. A GOAT for forgiveness and accuracy and a very efficient face, I'm consistently getting 1.46 to 1.48 smash on them which is insane for 10 year old clubs. Even the new PXG 0317T can't deliver that consistent efficiency when I hit them.

@jameshoward3303

I need to come and see you to try some irons

@sod2068

Hi Simon, great content as usual, oppertunity for me to buy demo Wilson D9 forged LH reg Dynamic Gold 95r shafts €420, my 7 iron carry is 140y
