From Fourteen Golf:
This is the “ultimate” tour inspired forged iron that consists of a combination of both traditional and modern features. Not only does this iron have an orthodox muscle back design, it also includes the latest club technology that enhances its functionality. At Fourteen Golf, we wanted to maintain the advantage of the controllability of a muscle back design while improving shot consistency and forgiveness. We are confident that these enhanced design elements will definitely put our tour model irons ahead of many of our competitors.

The “Reverse Muscle Back Design” allows stability in the club head movement. As seen in the diagram, the upper blade portion is slightly thicker and some weight is distributed on the upper part of the club head as well. These irons allow golfers the ability to hit any type of shot in any situation while gaining overall shot quality without having to worry about distance control.

Recent tour golf ball technologies have led to reduced spin on long shots and higher spin performance for short shots. Long irons need a relatively lower CG, allowing the ball to launch higher and land softer. In comparison, short irons have a relatively higher CG, creating a more aggressive trajectory. These irons are designed to have great compatibility with recent golf ball innovations, so golfers do not have to manipulate their swings in order to achieve their desired results, allowing the clubs to work for them.

We closely matched the CG distance with our tour model driver. We did this so that there is a better transition from a driver to an iron, which allows the golfer to swing at the same tempo and also obtain better shot consistency. These irons were strategically made so that tour pros have a better transition from club to club and that they can consistently manage to perform well under any type of situation.

From Joe Kwok Golf Shop:
Good custom fitting is a marriage of science and art. It requires meticulous person who knows what works, is willing to put the time and effort, and can give critical feedback to the customer. The goal is to improve accuracy, balance, consistency, distance, efficiency, and feel. Good fitting is not about hitting a 350 yard drive once a round. It is about consistently maximizing your distance and accuracy. We look at the entire package, from your current equipment to your current swing, but more importantly, we will discuss how to realistically maximize your potential. This is where club building comes in. The beauty of Joe’s skill is how he builds your club by understanding the specs of every component and how each affects your swing. Fitting is a personal experience and we believe in developing a strong relationship with each of our customers. Testimonials from happy customers of all skill levels can attest to our proven and thorough fitting process.

MtlJeff: “This is amazing……When i was 28 i lived in an apartment that had my winter tires in the kitchen, i only had one plate and 1 set of knives and forks, and i cooked pasta in a witches cauldron from 1835. And i still convinced a woman to marry me. So i am all for this. In fact this is way better than what i had to offer.”
TiScape: “Love it Todd. Go Dodgers!!”
imkirby34: “Based on the view out the window, it looks like you’re on the first floor, which is probably a good thing because I’d hate to live below you, even if you have an extremely shallow AoA. Haha.”

Best classic irons – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing classic irons. WRXer ‘DonaldDunes’ has caught the vintage club bug, and wants to know other members’ favorite iron models that “have stood the test of time or were the top performers for their day.”

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Maine Golfer: “I love a lot of clubs but ’69 Wilson Staff’s are an all time favorite. Easy to hit in relative terms and they look amazing.”
Wilsonian: “No surprise from me, but the Wilson K-28 irons, specifically blades with the glide thru sole. I grew up playing Ram clubs, but got away from them as I got older. My return to vintage was with the Wilsons, and my first set of hickories were the Wilson Plus Success irons. You’ll try a lot of sets, but I think it’s a matter of what feels best in your hands, specifically your 7 iron which is the best indicator imo.”
Hawkeye777: “Hogan Redlines. Macgregor Nicklaus Muirfield 20th. Wilson Staff Tour Blade. Those are mine, don’t play any of them these days (no real reason to) and didn’t really “collect” them. The Wilsons I played with for years.”

When buying used irons how much wear is too much? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing how much wear is too much wear when purchasing used irons. WRXer ‘con_mon2’ is interested in a used set of iron and kicks off the thread, asking:

“Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this! How much wear are you comfortable with?

I found a set of irons on eBay that I am very interested in buying, but they have a bit more wear than I’m comfortable with. I have attached a few pictures showing especially the wear on the sweet spot on the PW and 9 iron. Maybe you can convince me that I’m being too picky and I should just buy them? Or maybe I should be concerned about the wear? I’m not really sure. They are Ping i230s which came out in 2022 so they aren’t that old. And the seller had this to say about the condition: ‘Good: Normal wear for their age. Excellent playing condition but they have cosmetic wear on faces and soles. Sweetspot wear is visible.’

Beyond the cosmetic, I’d really like to know this: At what point do you start to worry about the grooves being so worn that they have a substantial effect on the shots you’re hitting?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

rsballer10: “The term you are looking for is “browning” and these irons have some of that going on. They are completely playable, but I’d say they’ve reached their half-life.”
Nessism: “Those heads are stainless steel. The “browning” that some people reference, is really the yellow shade of the nickel layer under the chrome. When forged carbon steel heads wear through the chrome, the “brown” is RUST. These heads will never rust. People applaud the old Ping irons as being “indestructible”. Those heads had no chrome. These heads, even if the chrome is beginning to wear through, on one head, are miles more durable than the older unplated “indestructible” Ping’s. And even further ahead of any forged club.”
phizzy30: “Hard pass for me. I would rather get a new set of DTC irons and would be glad to spend the extra couple to few hundred.”
