Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from i*windows who asked fellow GolfWRX members what set of irons gave or continue to provide the most enjoyment while out on the course. There are a whole host of irons mentioned, from different club-making eras too, with the unique feel the irons give the individual often making the difference.

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

TheInfidel: “Just put a set of 900 Forged in the bag with ProjX LX 6.5s – WOW. Different class of ball flight. Crazy forgiving“
craz-e: “My first set of blades the Mizuno MP68’s. They gave me a greater enjoyment in hitting golf shots and a greater love for the game in general.“
jar59: “Best scoring clubs, best clubs in the wind and best feeling sweet spot were my 985 Tourney Customs with reverse muscleback and rounded toe. I played them in 2 thru pw (10) from 1976 thru 1981“
BCULAW: “Ping S56 with Your Issue S400 soft stepped twice, purple dot at +1. I would never have guessed the specs would work in a million years, but these were the absolute best feeling and performing irons I have ever hit. Pure joy to play.“
mogc60: “Probably owned 50 sets of irons in my life and absolutely without question, the best irons I ever played were MacGregor VFoil M25 blades with Satin ProjectX 6.5. Most consistent, best feeling, best ball flight.“

Ping i25 with the Ping CFS stuff shaft. Still have the Eye-2 Gorge lob wedge that I got at the same time. Regret trading those now.

In tennis, it’s the strings that are the performance factor and the frame only holds the strings. In golf, the clubhead only impacts the ball for 0.0005 seconds while the shaft affects the swing action. Ignorant golf and tennis players think it’s the club and frame that gives enjoyment… because of the colors and shapes. Oh well, as long as it sells equipment.

  Droop, kick, torque so much more important for consistency, accuracy and enjoyment all derive from the shaft, not the clubhead.
  
  $150+ for each iron , with a $30.00 shaft with a fancy paint job, is a con game.

    Shaft dynamics is too complex for the gearhead brainlet… the back of the clubhead is all that matters. It’s love at first sight for these gearhead jerk0ffs.

A really beautiful set of clubs in every way – Adams A4 Forged PX 6.0 shafts (as pictured), getting ready to give them to my son (hard to part with, but they were only my travel set). However, shot my lowest round (74) ever with Tommy Armour 845s. Honestly the closest set of irons to the A4s, are my current gamers – PXG 0811s with NS Pro Modus3 105 shafts that I purchased through the PXG for Heroes Program last month.

Mizuno MX 17. First set of irons I had that weren’t hand me downs from the 80’s. I legitimately gained 20 yards on every club over the Par Champs I had in the bag before those. Took my game to another level and made me enjoy golf 100x more.

Ping Eye 2+, hands down best set ever, got them out of the closet this year, re-gripped them and they are in my bag. Easy to hit and feel great!

  PING ZING2… hottest heads ever… straight flight only… no draw or fade because of the extreme head weighting.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.

Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”

And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.

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

SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”

Have I just found the holy grail with this hybrid? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing a recent find by one WRXer. ‘Speeder717’ has just got his hands on an Adams Idea Pro hybrid with a Midas shaft and V55 grip, and has documented his find in the forums saying:

“There’s just something about old tour gear that still hits different for a lot of us who’ve been around WRX forever. Before every tour setup was posted on Instagram five minutes after a round, you had to dig for this stuff. You’d spend hours going through used bins at the local range, scrolling classified ads, or checking Gypsy Golf hoping some random listing would turn out to be something special.

That’s what made the hunt fun.

And when it comes to players with recognizable gear, Bernhard Langer has always been near the top of the list. His bag has barely changed in years. The putter is untouchable. The G400 somehow refuses to leave. And then there are the Adams Idea Pro hybrids with the Midas shafts and V55 grips that instantly make longtime gear guys stop scrolling.

I was lucky enough to grab one off eBay recently, and the more I looked at it, the more things started lining up with Langer. The build, the details, the overall wear… it just has that look. If you’ve followed his setup over the years, you start comparing tiny details from old WITB photos, looking at grip setups, lead tape placement, wear patterns, all trying to connect the dots.

Maybe it’s a legit gamer, maybe it’s just built exactly like one. Either way, that’s almost beside the point.

For a lot of us older WRXers, this is the stuff that keeps the hobby fun. The stories, the searching, the possibility that a random club sitting in a listing somewhere might actually have some history behind it. That feeling never really goes away.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and reactions in our forum.

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

kwxsports: “I still play a couple of those hybrids. Cool find.”
EastpointeCC: “If the wear pattern is the size of a dime and there’s no idiot marks. Could be his.”

Why I still love my 20-year-old irons – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a post from a WRXer who still can’t get enough of his 20-year-old irons. ‘Kennapsi’ has been unable to replace his Callaway X-forged irons, and kicks off the conversation saying:

“I just can’t find a better set of irons than my 20-year-old Callaway X-forged irons. Boy have I tried…. T100, iblade, Taylormade… the list goes on!!! I somehow feel a guilt and just want to spend money on a new set…

I can’t even blame the groove rule and say they are non conforming as that rule has expired in the UK now… I play county events and nobody ever mentioned it anyway…To make it worse, can you see any similarities between Miura TC 201 and X-forged 2007?

Do I need help, or should I just play them?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the matter 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.

BowMain42: “Coming from a guy that refuses to give up his MP-60’s (when he’s not playing stuff even older), I’d say don’t worry about it. Then again, the WRXer in me says ‘replace them anyway just because'”
iNeedMoreGolf: “My X forged 18 mb/cb are that way for me. The closest thing I think I’ve come across is P7MC by TaylorMade.”
jplroper: “When something works, just run with it.”
