Best Golf Game Improvement Irons 2023 (For Mid-High Handicappers)

[@drmichael1064]

Props for having the courage to lay it out there for us to learn. Really useful for me as a high handicapper

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. It's not easy being on camera especially for a higher handicapper like Brent. Appreciate your comment and glad we can help.

[@blade643]

this is the type of comment we need to have more. this humble man put himself out there for us to view, takes stones to do so

[@paulcanting4456]

@@NewNineGolf Greetings, I am very sorry if my opinion disturb any, that said it was only an honest opinion, nothing more,nothing less, good video btw.

[@estebanandrade8284]

Watching his session made me feel like it was myself hitting those clubs. It was so relatable. Great video!!

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks! What did you end up getting?

[@estebanandrade8284]

I am still playing my TaylorMade Sim Max Irons, but if I upgraded it would be Cobra or the Mizunos just like his top two. 😎.

[@NewNineGolf]

Oh nice. Ya I'm sure you'd be happy with either.

[@richardboyce8536]

I am a new golfer. In the last 3 years I’ve watched far too many KZbin videos on golf club reviews. This is the best real world video I’ve seen. Thanks.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jongottenbos532]

I totally agree (as a new golfer too)

[@NewNineGolf]

Appreciate it.

[@ajhite7456]

Very relatable video of a true weekend golfer testing clubs. Keep it up

[@dennisd4027]

Great video, fun to watch. He doesn't need new irons, M4's are just fine, my boy needs lessons. However, my mantra is "when in doubt, buy new equipment".

[@jshoota19ify]

One of the best relatable videos I've seen. As the majority of the golfers are high handicappers, like myself, I appreciated Brent's courage to do this. Would love to see him try the Budget clubs, too. Example: Takomo, Kirkland, etc. Which for the average recreational golfer is even more relatable. Great Job. Subscribed.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. Planning to do a direct to consumer iron video soon. Just waiting on the clubs.

[@davidvesseur]

I don't think it's best to delete the 'worst' shot based on if it's in the water or not. I would've gone for the furtherest off centre personally. The water isn't always going to be there, but your dispersion will always be there.

[@ashwitmoro]

Exactly. Especially since the shot deemed the "best' was because it was closest to the center line.

[@alecschingel1621]

1000% It was a great video, but that made zero sense to me

[@kedmondson1970]

Probably one of the most entertaining club reviews I’ve seen yet. Love that he’s a high handicapper, versus some semi pro telling me what I should buy. Nice job guys.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. 🍻

[@byte_insight]

Thank you so much. Finally a club fitting aimed at us high handcappers who are still developing our swing. I started playing a couple of years ago with a bargain basement set of old Mizunos. I've been trying to get fitted for a new set but no one in our area seems to be interested in helping beginners unless they seem a performance increase. Mine are battered with missing backs and they feel too short - its time to trade that old wreck of a car in and buy a new one! Also, fair play to Brent - I felt all his pain and joy throughout the video - please pass on my thanks for being every beginners stunt double for the purposes of this video.

[@mikeward2922]

I'm right there with you. I haven't played in years and was that guy who played with hand-me-down clubs and surely not fitted correctly given I'm 5'5" with short arms but with athleticism. Think typical football fullback. So, I'm hoping to at least get into a decent set, but the outdoor fitters near me are definitely tying the fitting to choosing and buying from them. That's okay, I need them, but I really want to get the fitting to at least see where I am in terms of the entire ball park. Am I in, out, or what. I'm on some old King Cobra irons right now - they're way too much blade, too long, and it definitely shows at the range.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Alot of people say get lessons which I totally agree with but imo its really important to find a set of clubs that fit. Most people swings are more consistent than they think, you can always go back and have them refitted as you progress. Good luck on your golf journey and ill be bringing Brent back for a follow up video. 🍻

[@bobmoore20]

This guy at New Nine Golf makes great content! This is what the masses want. People are excited about golf and want quality products but don’t have the time and money to play everyday, try out new clubs, get fittings, etc. so my dude is serving the people lol test ‘em all! Let’s go to the numbers lol

Great job in bringing in a real weekend golfer unfortunately it's like seeing my self out there😅 great job guys

[@mcdavies9999]

Loved this and big props to Brent for stepping up. Was great to see a relatable player. Maybe helpful for me as well...considering new clubs but am (finally) going to take a few lessons before going thru a fitting.

[@patrickzwei]

YEAH props for Brent to being brave on camera...i love the little hop he makes in his swing

[@JacobRamsey1979]

That swing is something else I'll say that.

[@larryharperjr]

I found it ironic that he didn't like the look of the Wilsons, because I didn't like looking at that swing.

[@mikehester7819]

Yeah! I couldn't watch the swing. Not trying to be insulting, it was just hard to watch.

[@MysawCS]

@@larryharperjr yeah seriously, you know this guy is a brand princess because what he said about the wilsons didn't make any sense, he prefers game improvement irons, but it too thin for him, but then the back is too bulky. I don't get it. Would have been better if he hid the back of the club so you couldn't tell which was which.

[@NewNineGolf]

@MywOoRefresh the cool thing about opinions is that they are a lot like ass holes. Everyone has one 😉

[@mikehoffman1800]

I like his swing, it's free flowing through the ball. Also, why are all you experts watching videos for med- high handicappers if you're so good?

[@HeyItsRyanMoore]

Subscribed! Best, most relatable review I've watched yet. Brent is The People's Champ.

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

As someone in the market for new irons this is a fantastic session to learn how to review and understand data. Thanks for sharing. Great to see a high handicap player being a part of a real life example that we can relate to. New sub today

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for the feedback. Which irons are you most excited to hit?

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

The Cobra and Mizuno@@NewNineGolf having a slower swing and play on a technical course having the forgiveness is very important. Cost is also a huge factor for my first serious set of clubs for someone getting back into the game after years.

[@larryps]

Than you both for making this video. I'm pretty sure your swing is a lot better than those who are making the rude comments.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for watching and the support. Brent is playing some good golf this year and will probably beat most of these guys bashing his swing. Haha.

[@josephshuster4904]

I enjoyed the testing,,,but I just bought Ping G430irons graphite,,,,love them,,each to his own,,,, Keep on Testing,,,, USA old Nam Veteran,,,,,thank you so much,,,,,

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. Ping makes great clubs. Enjoy your new sticks. All the best. 🇺🇸 🍻

[@roleypyolee91]

sobering and relatable. same money for new clubs vs lessons, and it seems like lessons is the way to go for a mid-high handicap.

[@NewNineGolf]

I would recommend both if it's within budget. Or at least go for a fitting. Sometimes it might be just an adjustment or a change in shafts.

[@justinstephenson9360]

Brent showed a lot of heart in putting his swing on YT. I know there were a few negative comments about his swing, I hope Brent ignores them. As long as Brent is enjoying his golf, I do not care how his swing looks. In order to improve the video I would suggest include the lofts of each of the clubs. Hopefully there is another video where Brent gets fitted for shafts for both the Cobra and Mizuno and lets see which club comes out on top.

[@NewNineGolf]

Definitely, most people dont realize how hard it is to swing when the cameras are on. Haha. Good suggestion, I usually try to include the lofts in my other videos. Missed it in this one for some reason. I'll try to get Brent back on for a fitting. Thanks for watching and the comment. Cheers

[@NicholasAlvarezCharry]

As a high handicapper, he needs the negative comments. He needs to know he doesn’t need to blow all of this money on new clubs. He could spend 1/4 of it on lessons and fix several of his issues. I use 2005 cobras and have been playing for 4 months and score the same as him… the same scores with him playing for 3 years… the difference? I get lessons

[@NewNineGolf]

@user-dh7uf2zo7c he shot 76 3 days ago with his swing lol. No pictures on the scorecard.

[@mikethomas7290]

I’m a bogey golfer and I found this to be a great video with really good commentary! I am in the market for new irons (still playing my TaylorMade R7 irons I got 17 years ago). What helped most was the explanation of the process and data.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. Appreciate it. Glad I can help. 🙏

[@Thewaldo12345]

Had to look at the name and make sure I didn’t make this comment cause I too am a bogey golfer playing R7s lol. Told myself if I e we break 80 I’ll get new.

[@mikethomas7290]

@@Thewaldo12345I’ve been trying out a bunch of different irons. For me I saw an increase in distance and efficiency. For example my r7 7 iron will carry 168 yds with a 1.34 smash factor. Where as something like the Ping G430s, I was carrying a 7 iron 192 yds with a 1.48 smash factor. It all sounds nice, but the result is a huge yardage gap between where the irons end and wedges begin. Ping does have a retro set that weakens the lofts. I just don’t know if it’s enough. Maybe I’ll just need to carry extra wedges. The one thing that surprises me the most is I saw no improvement in accuracy over the r7s with anything I tested.

[@tjnaevans]

Finally A video reviewing Game Improvement clubs using an actual player who requires that level of help! So tired of guys with swings that could hit a hickory shafted iron better that 75% of my shots saying he's "slowing down his swing" Not a fair test of the clubs at all! Good Job! Liked subbed and appreciated!

[@gregnicholas2361]

Congrats to this chap for being part of the video. My suggestion would be he take some lessons to fix his swing rather than new clubs. Such things as swings too fast, dips at takeaway, has an ‘arm swing’ , pulls away at impact etc etc

[@booboothaclown5562]

In the end, amateur golfers benefit most from simple instruction. Swing the weight of the club head, on a pendulum, 60° plane, no chicken wing. Do a three step warmup. Don't overpower, club up.

[@JohnnyKS2000]

I bought the Aerojet clubs 3 weeks ago, based on other reviews and the looks of them.I got a Great price on them as well! looking forward to next season ⛳️

[@NewNineGolf]

Nice! Ya they're great clubs especially for the price now. Thanks for watching. 🍻

[@Veritas84Aequitas]

I've been runing Cobra Forged Tec Blacks on AMT Tour White S300 Black Onyx. I have never been more happy with a set of irons in my life. Plus the murdered out look is just a thing of beauty.

What CALLAWAY Irons do you have? I purchased 1996 BIG BERTHA 5 years ago and wound up buying TOMMY ARMOUR 845HB Irons last year because of the BIG BERTHA being short.

[@mikecoughlin4128]

First of all I'd like to say this was one of the best fitting sessions I've seen for the simple fact the golfer was like me, better actually from the scores he says he has. I'd like to see a follow u with the top 2 with shaft changes, loft, lie and length analysis. Maybe hitting on a hole makes sense for a low hdcp golfer but overall and especially with a high handicapper I would suggest using the driving range simulation. You're after the shot, not affects of sand or water or trees. Its about the numbers. It would be similar to choosing a sea side course with a lot of wind to judge ball flight characteristics.

[@newsbluestv3163]

Nice experiment, but the best thing for Brent, would be some serious lessons, that was a huge left/right variable, which needs sorting ASAP. Best of luck Brent.

[@NewNineGolf]

He's getting lessons through the winter. 🤞 we see some improvement. 🍻

[@mikeb3835]

As a fellow quick over swinger, this was very relatable, except that I would have passed out from exhaustion about halfway through.

[@jshoota19ify]

Nah, I'm used to hitting 90 to 100 shots. Haha! I could've done 10 clubs and 10 shots each, no problem.

[@tacomandood7371]

It's easy to make fun of some random person's swing, but the reality is we all started somewhere. I've been very recently humbled by an old swing video of mine from late 2022, so at least he was willing to put it out on the internet. Fitting is hard with a swing like this that creates more opportunity for inconsistency, but I think it's also helpful to see how having the right club/shaft combo can help with that while you improve the swing. A ball fitting would be beneficial for most people as well. I would love to see that in some future videos for different handicaps/skill levels.

[@jpwantland2960]

OMG dude you found my clone, Brent, to do the game improvement iron fitting. Finally, a mid-high handicapper that I can relate to instead of a scratch golfer hitting the game improvement irons. By the way, I watched the video where you reviewed the game improvement irons and at the end of the video you said you would be bringing in a mid-high handicapper to also review the irons. I watch a crap load of KZbin golf videos and this video ranks in my Top 5. Plus, I pushed the subscribe and like buttons after watching it today. One must never forget that the mid-high handicappers far outnumber the low-scratch handicappers. And we mid-high golfers are more prone to drink the Kool-Aid if we think it will trim strokes off our game on a continual basis.

[@NewNineGolf]

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the sub. Cheers!

[@jshoota19ify]

And drink a lot of beer, haha!

[@squidly2112]

Personally, I have always been a Mizuno fan for my irons. I have been playing the MP line of muscle-back blades for about 30 years. I'm not as good as I once was and probably need to drop back to the JPX line now, but for some reason Mizuno irons have just always felt really really good to me. I love my MP's (32's, 33's, 37's, 69's) when I hit them well.

[@niconitti3987]

Love that you used an actual mod to high handicapper to test the same type of iron. Makes it much more relatable. Well done. Only thing I wonder is how fatigue effected his hit with the later club or how warming up effected his early clubs. This really opened my eyes to the Cobra and helped solidify my interest in Mizuno. Wish you didn’t use the HL version though. Great video.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you! Ya I think the fatigue definitely played a factor. I think he took that into consideration in the rankings. Cant go wrong with either the cobras or the Mizunos. The HM and the HM high launch are pretty similar except obviously one launches higher. Haha. I hit the regular Hot Metal in my other video if you haven't watched it already. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d37Pc2hvl7t8d6ssi=k2BnH6NoCy1RHLXV

Off those numbers it has got to be the JPX 923 HL. Great spin, great angle of descent solid carry and least roll 👌

[@zacharyshookner7909]

Curious how long your friend has been playing for, if you could get him to have a more controlled slower take away with a semi pause near the top he would get a more consistent swing, he does hit it pretty far for a high handy cap. 👍👍

[@jshoota19ify]

Honestly, selfishly, I would prefer to keep him the way he is to be more consistent on the high handicap point of view for club selection.

[@kent3874]

Nice to have a high handicapper rating clubs, as many YT reviewers ratings dont translate to the higher handicapper, as this example just showed with a very different ranking. One point I would make in pulling out the worst shot, I would do it by absolute deviation from the center line, not based upon a simulated water location on a particular hole and leaving in a shot with worse dispersion just because one happened to get lucky on that hole and hit it so far off line that you were actually wide of the water on that particular hole. Because the goal is to hit the ball straight according to a target line, and so the deviation should be based on distance from the center, regardless of the trouble left or right on that particular simulated hole. Hitting left of the water would be your worst shot on most holes, but you just got lucky on that particular hole that the hit was so bad it was left of the water. So, it should be measured in general terms, with the farther from the center line, the worse the shot.

[@NewNineGolf]

Totally agree and I changed my worst formula in my next video on player irons.

[@rayrapp8929]

Thanks, a really nice video and especially using a high handicapper like Brent for testing game improvement irons - far more realistic for that genre of iron. Now in my super senior years I need a bit more help and I am thinking of getting a fitting for the ZX4s which Brent felt they looked a bit small, but as I currently play JPX919s forged irons I think they might be a good match as I don't like chunky clubs. Look forward to future videos.

[@aviatoraw]

I went with Brent and got a set of Aerojets. So far so good. Thanks guys!

[@Katnook4440]

I have a high handicap, and went for my first fitting. My favorite was the srixon zx4's that I'm putting in an order for. Thanks for these video's

[@jvaule]

Best rew in a long time om youtube. A normale player testing irons. Its so nice to see someone normal test them 😁

[@Gabriel.-_-.]

Love these fitting videos! My 2 cents, i would remove the shot that's furthest from the center line for the statistical analysis... The fake water shouldn't effect the math..

[@flybirds2024]

I went through a very similar fitting with many of the same irons, my top 2 were the Paradym and JPX 923. I ended up getting the JPX 923 Hot Metal with the UST Graphite shaft and have been thrilled with my improvement both in distance and accuracy!

[@James-oh1wp]

This was an excellent real review for the average guy out there trying to get better at golf :).

[@jamesanderson2176]

For the last year or so, I was playing the Cleveland Launcher XL Halos. Probably in the running for the ugliest clubs ever made, but I don't by clubs for their looks, and their forgiveness is amazing. They helped me make massive improvements in my iron play, so much that I decided it was time to level up and just got fitted into a set of Srixon ZX5's. I definitely think the Halos are a great choice for a beginning golfer to make the game more fun while working on fundamentals.

[@pj486]

A great video far more realistic for us high handicappers

[@nyr413]

I went with the Srixon ZX4 MKIIs got fitted and love them. Good luck playing Augusta National

[@gasperstarina9837]

Ping, I use Ping i25 and are great...can't go wrong with Titleist just look of anything more than 150s is too blocky

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya will have to get him back for a fitting.

[@mikehester7819]

Yes! That's what my fitter did, narrowed it down to 2 and then played with shafts.

[@bobbywibowo3946]

Hi great video! I have a question as beginner just getting started into golf, can i straight away pick up zx5mk2 for long term use or i should get zx4mk2 instead? Appreciate if you could give me some advice 🙏🏼 thankyou

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. The ZX4 are going to be larger, more forgiving and lower lofted. I think if you plan on putting in the work to get better. I dont see why you can't go into the zx5s. Perhaps, look into a combo set. 4-6, 7-PW and have the lofts adjusted to match. But I always recommend hitting them first or better yet, getting fitted.

[@michaeljames2250]

Definitely liked you bringing on the high handicapper.

[@rat704]

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed a lot. I'd like to see same things with little older guy.. like I am 11 handicap at 55.. my swing is a lot slower speed.. just a thought.

[@50orBust]

I’m a 21 handicapper myself my 135yard approach game is good. Great putting. If my driver shows up I can break 90 but typically shoot mid to low 90s. With my irons I end up left side of the fairway when off Centre and almost never see the right side. I got fitted last year from my 93’ golden eye pings to Titleist T-200s. I wanted to love the stealths or hot metals but the ping G430 were actually my best but too pricey. I wish the new t350s came out by then bc I would had went with those but the 2022s were so ugly I couldn’t. Might need to swap out the 7-4 irons to 350s this year.

[@zenunogoncalv]

Man, kudos for stepping in and doing this session. As someone looking for improvement irons, this is a great idea.

[@MrImpossible86]

I'll add to the compliments here, really nice to see a review with an average Joe golfer who is looking to get into the 80s consistently. I did an iron fitting last year and Aerojet was my favorite. Then i picked up a set last month for $720. So far it's been quite an adjustment with my bad hits still going very far (compared to used ping i20s) You've earned a sub from me.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you! Appreciate it. What a great deal. Enjoy your new sticks. ⛳🏌️‍♂️

[@tonytwillie9478]

Very cool to watch this video! I should have watched it when it came out, but it just popped up for me - I'd have been interested to try some of these myself. I just bought the Ping G425 last month; I also bought a new putter, so I decided going with the second latest in tech was OK, and left me with the money for the putter. I'm a 17 handicap so I felt all of this. I'd been playing stiff shafts, but at 56 years old, I figured it was time for me to give that up. My swing isn't nearly as strong as Brent's. Used to be, but no more. My miss has nearly consistently been short and right, so the Ping with the offset head was a good solution for me.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for watching! Ping makes great clubs. Glad they're working for you. Enjoy! 🍻

[@Chet362]

Great video. Love seeing these head to head comparisons with mid handicappers

[@brendantaylor6879]

Got fitted for Cobra Forged Tec X, but would love to see a comparison with these before I pull the trigger!

[@NewNineGolf]

Those look nice. I actually dont know where they fit in. Maybe in line with the p790s. So between the Aerojet and the Forged Tec or King Tours. Let me see what i can do when I'm back at Modern Golf in the new year. Maybe do a players distance iron comparison along with some of these. Cheers

[@davidduvall]

One of the most unique swings I’ve seen

[@GlenD1977]

Would have loved to see the standard 923 HM’s in his hands too, as I think they’d maybe suit more. They launch nice and high too, and the extra offset on the HL version may not have suited his swing as much.

[@alanianm]

Thanks for the high handicapper testing of these GI clubs. Can I ask what flex shaft was he using for the various sessions?

[@NewNineGolf]

No problem. Thanks for watching. Stiff shaft.

[@troychanning21]

Sorry novice question, what’s the difference between the cobra Aerojet and one length? From what I see online, they have the same club length, loft and offset.

[@NewNineGolf]

In a tradition iron set the length of every club is different. 4 iron is the longest and your wedge is the shortest. With the cobra one length irons the 4 iron and Wedge are the same length. The idea is one swing for every club.

[@eldanberkley5657]

Great video I definitely relate but I’d rather get lessons from my cousin, then later buy irons when I can consistently hit fairways. Definitely was already thinking Titleist T300’s.

[@Labgorilla]

Brent. Hats off to you. Your scores are pretty identical to mine. I’m looking to buy irons so this was important. It basically taught me that if you like it, you can make it work. Like marriage

[@CopDoctorLawyer]

i think you should determine best and worst of shot group and center line, not if it landed in the fake water or not, because you could be running this simulator in an open field, so i dont think water lie is a good factor of swing consistency

[@RogueWraith909]

It would've been interesting to see him the normal Paradyms instead of the X's (which are draw biased iirc and would tend to pull hard left for him). I've tried one and it's so much nicer to hit than my Lynx Predators that i'm getting a fitting next week... really excited!

[@garysnider3347]

my mishits are left, because i use more power and its easier to swing out to in. When I need accuracy its in to out and does a nice fade but loses alot of yardage. When everything comes togather! yardage is 5 yards less than the power misses but straight, Its good to see avg players come in and test these clubs!!! Amazing video hats off to you guys(channel)!

[@dezerteagle6412]

Great video. It’s funny cos I went in to test out some clubs and I was hitting Mizuno Pro 225’s better than the JPX Hot Metal Pro’s and now I like players distance more than game improvement because of feel and dispersion and I’m a high handicapper

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks! Ya it's funny that way. Just gotta find what works for ya. 🍻

Ya they're great clubs! ⛳🏌️

Were all of these irons equipped with graphite shafts?

[@KyleFalconer1]

I love the video and the relatability. I think Brent could use lessons and a sizing session. My gut tells me the shaft lengths are too long for him, it looked to me like he was up on his toes trying to make good contact.

I’ve got a fitting at GOLFTEC and using only 7-P of the Ping G430 regular launch with senior graphite shafts. I am 68 and need every advantage . They gave me 10 yards plus great consistency. I really liked the looks of the JPX but didn’t hit it as good. To each their own I’d say.

[@NewNineGolf]

Golftec is great. I'm glad you found something that works. Ya exactly, everyone is different.

I'm a big Cleveland cbx zipcore wedge fan, and am looking forward to the new cbx zipcore xl irons. Really hoping they blend with the wedges. Have you seen them yet? Cheers

[@orlandogolfguruogg5382]

I know everyone is a critic - but how about the 923 HM pro? Less offset for his left miss and he liked the looks. It’s like the zx4 but more forgiving and less offset. 🤷‍♂️ fun to watch!

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for watching. I think the "pro" name itself might intimidate him. Haha. Wouldn't hurt to try though for sure when he does a full fitting.

[@testlap7951]

Funny I did a quick and dirty fitting over the summer and ended up picking the Cobras over the T350 after swinging 6-7 different clubs.

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

The look of the Srixxon at address, for a game improvement iron, is just... 🤤

[@Paul-kw1og]

Shafts can make or break the feel. Also grips and grip size makes a huge difference..Its not just the head..

[@AgentJadeD]

great video,.I wanted to try the JPX 923 HM HL, but went with Stealth HD's. Would love to see some hybrid options vs 4 - 7 iron.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks! Ya I'll try to get him back in for some hybrid options. Enjoy your new clubs.

[@GIR4U]

Good work Brent! Looking forward to playing with you again next season at CH!!

[@quadplay2591]

Cudos to Brent, you were open and honest.

[@LDGreenkat]

Hey man new to the channel, really good content helping me a lot with my decision on which clubs to get. Just one question I’m really wondering questions around what are some of your favorite shafts. A lot of companies offer a multitude of different brands and types. Going for a stiff feel and just wondering what brands and shafts you can’t go wrong with. Hopefully some of the options will be free on the websites(multitude of them are). Thank you man!

[@NewNineGolf]

The only shaft I suggest for you is the one you get fit for 🤷‍♂️ Sorry that’s probably not the answer you were looking for but it’s the only right answer.

[@franklinniesterjr3812]

M4's are not bad irons. I came back to the game in 2020 after a 15 year layoff and started back with some used TOUR BURNERS. AGE DIFFERENCE BTWN PLAYING was 42 to 57. Speed and back are not the same as before, so for the first time in life, I took two lessons, driver and irons. Got to a 16 HCP and got fitted for TaylorMade SIM2 MAX OS, VENTUS 6 65G shafts, midsize grips. Now, Im at a 10 HCP and I LIVE IT!!! Not buying clubs again till these are wore out. I live in PINEHURST and I play ALL OVER. AVG is about an 81. This guy has incredible clubhead speed, but before he buys clubs, he should get a lesson on stance and swing. It would definitely help him before he buys any clubs.

[@NewNineGolf]

That's awesome you for fitted for clubs you love and that work! I agree and he's actually starting to get lessons right now. Thanks for watching and your comment. 🍻

[@MThomas92]

can you "show all" - or overlay each set? it would be amazing to see the single page comparison of each set, its separated by color already

[@edwinlambley2801]

Well done Brent hope you find the best irons for you. Would be good to see the same test in a different order outside on the grass.

[@NewNineGolf]

Not a bad idea. Will have to wait a few months tho. It's winter here and snow on the ground. 😥

[@FoolishProphets]

Loved the video bc it really helped to understand the numbers

[@kotogray8335]

I agree that looks and sound are important for helping with confidence, but ultimately it's about improving your game if you are going to drop a lot of cash for new clubs, I think.

[@seanriley640]

Is a stiff shaft right for his club speed? Just asking as ive just been fitted for wilson d9 forged irons with a similar club speed, i had a 180 on my good swings but apparently stiff shaft is for 85mph+

[@NewNineGolf]

It depends on the shaft. My guess is he's probably between a regular and a stiff and could probably benefit from a regular or a lighter one to get his spin up. But he does have an aggressive transition though so I'm kinda interested to get him in for a fitting to see. 🍻

[@drewspinoso4849]

My back is aching just watching your friend swing.
