RANKING all time BEST to WORST irons!?

[@seegarsmkr]

Simon, I think you have missed a manufacturer, maybe because they have a resurgence but the iron with the MOST wins of any iron was omitted. Wilson Staff. Their success was before your time but I think they should have been included. Their new forged irons are amazing and can compete with anything and their blades are timeless!!

You haven't put in the club with more victories in history the Wilson Staff Tour Blade FG 17. Before yout birth, sadly not before mine so I used them to get to Plus 4. Dynamic gold sincronzed shafts. You haven't finished yet, maybe you will add them. Mizuno had not started then, nor, any of the Asian blades. Oh! You have never tried them. You must see if you can some day. You will change you view. In those days pros used the best because they were not paid to do so, like today, they used them to win a living.

And an absolute bargain in todays market. I am a bit biased because I have a set myself.

[@antoniomoreira127]

I really think you missed out the (at least for me) most iconic blade irons of all time, that were widelly used from high level tour pros to good amateurs for a quite long period of time, probably of nearly 10 years, from the late 80’s to the late 90’s. I’m referring to the Mizuno TP9, that alongside with the Ping Eye2 really marked an era as only a very few other golf clubs did throughout the history of the game.

[@Alandale45]

Thank you for an interesting video, Simon. Macgregor had a number of iconic blades that became the blueprint for some of the successful greats on your list. I am thinking of the Tourneys, the VIPs, the Muirfields etc. Wilson also had the staff blades.

[@bruhnvh]

Tough list to assemble, thanks for taking the time to put it together...so many irons to choose from for including in the ranking. I watched this video just to see where you put the Tommy Armour 845S. Given its status as the second best selling iron set of all time (only Ping Eye2 sold more), I'm surprised it wasn't on your radar here. Maybe it's not so well known outside the USA?

[@mec1107]

Great episode.... But I respectfully disagree with the Ping Anser iron. Yes....The 2013 Anser was VERY expensive at the time. But look at all the technology features that Ping place in this awesome club. Tungsten sole, Progressive offset and rear stabilizing bars to name a few. In closing, The Ping Anser was mainly designed for the Asian market, which places high value on technology and quality.

[@tjmeyer3037]

That's a tough list when you've gotta sell it worldwide. It's also hard to separate those clubs from the golfers who used them to achieve their own greatness. Or downfall. I'd love to see your list of the players during their rise and fall and how they rank. Lol. Good luck brother.

For a while, I played single-length irons but didn't really get good results with them. I had issues with the wedges and also had trouble getting good gaps at the top of the bag. In the end, I realized that if I was using regular wedges and more hybrids to get gapping right, that I actually had very few single-length clubs in the bag. When I went back to variable length, I went with the Nike Covert 2 Forged irons and loved them. They might not have been as famous as the blades with Tigers name on it, but for a mid-handicap golfer, the forged cavity back heads were forgiving and felt great.

@Steve Mac So true! The ones they made after the 845 were management rather than designer driven. (Reactive, not proactive.)

So many historical inaccuracies that I am not sure where to start! I agree with others here that omitting Wilson Staff is a huge oversight! Vast number of tour wins from the 50's through into the '80's and some of the prettiest irons ever made. Wilson and not Titleist made the first perimeter weighted irons using weight ports with their Ogg-mented irons in the 1930's. Nothing from MacGregor?!!! Other than the Apex name, the Calloway irons have no connection to the Hogan Apex irons and no mention of Hogan Precision - possibly the most iconic iron of all time and grandfather of many later icons like the MP14. John Letters Master Model? - dominant iron in the UK from '48 into the 70's at one point played by 75% of competitors in The Open!

But the epic were Wilson Staff Fluid Feel blades. They were unfriendly if you wasn't hitting the middle but when you did you were rewarded with a sublime flight and ultimate stopping power from your Balata ball of choice. I also agree with most of your ratings apart from the AP3's. Even when they came out they weren't anything new, stronger lofts were already out, with mixed results of course

The pictured version of the P790 and the following version on the P770 seemed to have quality issues on the back side of the club head. When you tip them toward a light source, they seem to show a lot of waviness in the metal. Looks like a car door that has a poor metal finish job on it. Not sure if the poor finish is from metal that is too thin or maybe it is similar to “sink marks” in plastic parts from b-side details??? I noticed the newest P790 & P770 irons avoided this by having a matte/blasted finish on the head. Not sure if the change of finish was planned or just a way to cover up a visual design flaw. Callaway, on the other hand, was able to create a hollow body iron with a very glossy finish and not have these surface defects. The results of the P-series irons are great. People love them and I had a set of each for a while and liked them. But, for what Taylormade charges for their irons, one would expect a bit higher quality in the finish.

[@dustinroberson1865]

No love for the slingshot, but The first new clubs I ever bought were the first model of slingshots. I got them on sale for $300. Yes, they sounded bad (especially the hollow ones that howled when you swung). Yes, you couldn't shape your shot. For a high handicap player though, those things were a beast. I got so confident walking up to the ball. Knowing that I could be so far off the center and the most I would lost is 5 yards. I gave them to my girlfriend when I bought some new Cobras and she is hitting in the low 50s (sometimes high 40s) on nine as a new golfer with them.

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

Ping's original Karston iron series, 1969-1976 changed everything. Really the first perimeter weighting cavity backs. He was learning that wider soles and moving the MOI back could help duffers immensely. In 1978 the Ping Eye, then the Eye 2 in 1982. The Calloway Big Birtha came out 1994. They arrived late to the party. Ping changed the game earlier than all of the rest. I would say the other makers were hung up making "players" clubs far too long and this explains why Ping gobbled up market share quickly. There are far more poor players needing help than pro or scratch golfers. However, being one in the sea of masses, Ping helped me the most and the earliest. I did everything I could to get some Ping Eye 2 irons when they hit the market. I have re-shafted them twice to accommodate my age and re-grooved them several times. I am 65 and those irons are still in the bag. I have no idea how many times they have been regripped. Just my two cents worth. Cheers.

I like the fact that he recognized the Ping G10. Two clubs I think should have been there were the Titleist DCI or 962 irons. Also the Tommy Armour 845's.

[@harrisonrichter3454]

I can’t believe the AP2 was left out. I’ve still got the 714s and think they’ve got to be some of the most loved irons ever.

[@James_David]

Agreed

[@Carl-i5q7p]

Got the 712's and I prefer the feel over the 718 ap3's

[@jaautre7482]

Your loving these ranking videos. 😉 so am I!

[@jaautre7482]

But no Wilson’s!

[@stevehughes3977]

I think my old Taylormade Rac irons were some of the best I've had. Always thought it was a mistake when I sold them.

[@abdulyoung3031]

What do you think of the Adams CB clubs?

[@moonjeong5129]

How about Mizuno Tzoid pro?

Spalding tour edition birdie on ball gold stamped blades from the 80's. The definition of what a blade should look like. I love mine. My father had them when he competed in his 20's and he has the custom crafted ones. They are in my opinion the best blade ever made.

MP is Iconic,, no arguement

[@jedmook4460]

Wilson staff blades??? Man those take the cake in my opinion.

[@8eege]

I'd never heard of Burner Midsize. Going to have to try them out.

Got a set of those old spaldings. Think Ill put new grips on and play them for a while. I think 7 iron is 36 degrees.Cheers
