Been gaming MP-32s for the last year or so. I love them. For blades, they are as forgiving as it gets (cut muscle adds a tiny bit of perimeter weighting). But I hit a guy’s ZX7 MKIIs at the range the other day, and it was like a whole new world. Currently building a set. Hi
Absolutely love my ZX5 irons. Very in on this take.
Exact same reason im changing from my apex 16s. When im swinging at my best in mid season form the nukey ball makes scoring impossible. Had a perfectly struck 9 iron from the fairway (should be 145-150) go 175 over the flag into death. Can’t get out of mid-hcap hell with that in the bag!
Problem with “hotter” ive had is the hotness isn’t reliable.
The T100’s look a lot like blades at address but are surprisingly forgiving for anyone in the market for somethin like that. I absolutely love mine.
Do you find them to be clicky at all? Is that sound acceptable?
Zx7 gang member signing in. I’m a pretty constant tinkerer I haven’t even considered looking at new irons for the past 3 years. That’s saying a lot for me, they’re fantastic.
Would Sub 70 699 pros be considered a player’s iron?
(Don’t mind me, just doing some market research)
Do you have those? Was thinking of building a driving iron/puncher/fairway finder and they’re really cheap
I do- they’re extremely hot and I think they’re pretty well built!
I have a utility 2-iron I won’t part with, but the 4-A could be hitting the Silk Road before too long. Good clubs but I joined a cult a few years ago, etc
For $135 it’s worth giving it a shot. I can replace my 22* hybrid and that utility may be more versatile
Yup. The “oh shit, sit the hell down ball” is always out there lurking. Like, sick! That 6 iron just went 205, to bad I was playing for 185!
I essentially only use the 2-iron off of the tee, it’s useless in the rough and not very practical off the fairways at most courses outside of links golf
I had a set of those before I joined the blade cult… this is personal opinion but those sounded AWFUL. Just waaaay too clicky for me. It was honestly off-putting.
Edit: now that I’m thinking about it, I think every set of clubs I’ve ever had aside from those Sub70’s, were forged. So it was a giant blind spot for me and the change was too drastic to my feel. It was jarring.
I’m not going to be the one to derail this thread but you’re correct that they don’t sound great. I suppose that’s part of the trade off of a “Player’s Iron” but it seems worthwhile if you want a screaming trampoline launcher (hitting a 9-iron 175 is a blast, even if it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to score well)
There is 100% a forged iron cult in this place, and I’m 100% a member. It’s gotten to the point where I went back to Mizuno wedges because they’re forged and I found Vokeys to be a bit clicky.
I may have a Titlesit equipment thing, it all sounds clicky after having Mizunos for so long.
Monitoring this space. Currently gaming JPX 900s with my first fitting scheduled in a couple of weeks.
I play 919 irons and vokey wedges and have found that if you hit them a little fat everytime it takes the “clickiness” right out of them
Shoutout the Blow Pig.
I have never felt more seen or appreciated in my entire life.
