Wilson is massively underrated imo, they're so class for a fraction of the price of major OEM's. Edit: I game Wilson D9 Forged irons

I hope Wilson takes over the market with these Dynapower Forged. Over 25% less expensive than the T200’s too! I found them to be much easier to hit too

cmon folks lets get Pete to a milli already, very much deserved...awesome video sir...started to get my driver down and my putting is not bad but that 80-150 range is where i need to be more consistent so this is great for me to keep in mind when i go iron fitting/shopping...

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

I started playing 2 years ago. Borrowed a mates taylormade tourpreferred cb’s and got hooked. I then bought paradym x irons for a bit of forgiveness. Got down to 4 handicap. Then recently won a golf competition for any titleist irons and SM10 wedges. So I got custom fitted for T150 in 7-PW and T200 in 4-6 irons. I just think whatever works and scores the best. I loved my paradym x irons and they worked great apart from a couple of hot ones over the last 2 years. Just go out and enjoy it regardless of the score. I swear my handicap came down far lower than I expected because I just don’t care if I hit a bad one. They happen, I just love being out with mates

[@ShaunY1988]

You're at PGA pro entry level in 2 years of playing, that's crazy, well done. I've been playing twice as long and still a 25 handicapper on a good day.

[@ShaunY1988]

@@thebikepackingadventurer I meant with your handicap you can actually apply to become a PGA pro and do the university course, u only need to be a 4 handicap to do that. And I know what u mean, I had a fairly bad motorbike accident, broke 16 bones including my neck and back and had physiotherapy 5 days a week, 6 hours a day for 8 months, had to learn to walk again and playing golf has helped massively in my strength rebuild

[@jjjk24]

What was it about your learning process in the two years that helped you rapidly come down to a 4 handicap?

[@Trevorpartington-yc6ri]

I learned using blades, in the early 80's even junior sets where blades. I can't hit other irons, they feel awfull, look chunky and even features like hoilow face irons etc just don't do it ffor me. Feel is everything, I know where the balls gone using a blade even if blindfolded, if I hit a bad shot It tells me by stinging my hands. Come to think of it they could be the best irons to learn with :D

[@EdgarJFeliz]

Nice video, great for newbie golfers!

[@SePhO11]

I had a set of Ping G400’s and hated them, just couldnt get on with them, i replaced them with a set of Staff Model CB’s and have improved massively, i was off 20 when i got my CB’s and am now off 12. Sometimes the category of irons doesn’t fit the handicap you have, game improvement irons didnt improve my game.

[@vanbalzup6481]

‘Game improvement’ is just a marketing term. These days it means foam injected, tungsten weighted and hollowbodied. It used to just mean CB. In reality they are both GI irons.

[@ShaunY1988]

I agree, I had cobra ltdx as my first set of brand new irons and always struggled with them.

[@AFL67pitt]

Game Improvement irons didn’t improve my game either and especially bad in 8-9-PW I am definitely going to blades in those

[@McVilla1N]

Literally what I am going through right now after picking golf back up after playing when I was younger. Someone got me the 400s to get me playing again and I can't stand them. They work for who they are designed for. Plus they were free so I'm not complaining too much. But Lord did they destroy my game😂😂😂. Finally going to get fit for some new ones this weekend after playing them for a year. Was shooting in high 70s-80s so they were not terrible. But also with the regular flex and my swing speed it was a nightmare 😂😂. Cannot wait to have clubs long enough and designed to me especially as a taller player. They were the orange dot also. My back is already smiling.

Just changed from Taylormade M2 to Mizuno 245 and absolutely love them! Similar distance and much better control.

I’m a 4 handicap and I play T-350’s. Easily the most fun I’ve ever had playing golf. I can work them up, down, left, right…the game is hard enough. I played AP-2’s for 10 years, and I thought those had the perfect balance of playability and forgiveness. Until I got fitted for the 350’s. Fitter was like, “sure you don’t want the T-200’s?” Nah, I play once a month if I’m lucky, and I like shooting in the 70’s.

[@bobjoswick6075]

A little over my head at times, but I did learn a lot. Thanks, Pete. I hope you play more in Fla. I bet your game reaches the PGA level when you play more. Hitting a ball into a screen gets boring no matter how fancy the surroundings are.

[@zwaager]

I use Nike Slingshot irons and love them. They feel amazing when you hit it clean, sound great at impact and give a cool swoosh sound when you swing. I tend to hit the ball really high so it sticks if i actually hit the green.

[@padlarge]

Since using your Swing Quest teachings, I can comfortably play my '74 and '21 Ben Hogan blades. Nothing feels like a blade 👌

[@jbdudeguy6808]

Just got fitted into dynapower forged. I was looking for used clubs though and since they are so new, was not having much luck. Just picked up a set of T200s for a steal (arriving this week) - but I really loved the wilsons

[@Markuspt.2]

I just got fitted for p790s, tried them out and got a longer shaft, new grips, etc and i cant wait for them to ship.

[@peterelliott2914]

It's not just about the score Peter. I've got some Miura blades (20hc here) and I only hit the sweet spot occasionally, but when I do it makes it all worthwhile. The feel, the sound, the flight. For that brief moment in time I'm a god. My BiL gave them to me btw. I never would have considered them otherwise but I thank him every time I get it right - about 10 shots a round, which makes him my most appreciated relative. Apart from my wife of course.

[@oldfartcycling]

Miura player, here, too! Keep at it. I learned on blades in the 70s, and I think it pays off in the long run, if you're thoughtful and consistent with practice.

[@misplacedcaper9662]

Started using my 695MB's when I was still a 20+ HC. I was stagnant with the Callaway SGI irons I was using. Yes they got the ball up, but it was too difficult to tell if it was an actual decent strike, or was it the club compensating.... I love these old 695MB's, especially with corded grips. You really feel which part of the club face made contact. My GCIN dropped from 20 to 8 in three seasons with the blades.

[@shawntaylor7442]

I wish I was in the market for new irons. New Wilson Staff irons look very nice. Not sure what my LH options are, but I'd still like to try them

[@SePhO11]

I’m a lefty as well and have the previous versions of the Staff Model CB’s, I got fit for them at American Golf, had no problem getting them.

[@Pud56]

Manufacturers make what consumers want, they wouldn’t make super forgiving clubs if folk didn’t buy them. I played blades for years, plus 4 handicap and swing speed of 125 with driver. Now age 67, had a TIA (small stroke) lost the ability to walk. After lots of physio, i now play golf again, doing all the exercises, stretching etc, and like with walking had to learn to play golf again, now driver swing speed is 95. I got fitted for a range of clubs, and my irons are super game improvement, not because of my ball striking, still hit the middle, but i am not that strong, super game improvement gives me my distance back, trouble is gapping because of the jacked lofts, so 5 wedges in the bag. I tried the Wilson forged irons, but didn’t get the distances to compete at the course i play. So sorry i will play super game improvement, regardless of what a KZbin spouter says. I am on my way back to scratch, and like Monty it will be with game improvement irons.

[@williamjasper6509]

Hi, As an old fart golfer we, as in EVERYBODY, played blades back in the day. Yes they demanded more concentration and time but when you hit it right there was no question about it. At 73 years old I still play with my old, but still in excellent condition, Mizuno MP33s. I look at it as if you play tennis with a Prince style 120sq.in. racket then cavity back irons are for you. But if you walk on the court with a 90 sq.in. racket then control and feel are the most important thing in your world. Also I tried CB irons and their front to back variation in distance was crazy to me. Just my thoughts on it....

I play blades. Get out a couple of times a week in the summer and flit between 2-3 handicap. I genuinely don’t see any benefit to not playing blades. Blades are consistent and that’s what I like. No flyers, no random shot carrying 10 yards further. If I don’t strike it great I honestly don’t see that much of a drop off. Cavity backs aren’t miraculous. You can’t hit it out the middle and toe and hit it the same distance.

I have blades I play every so often. I’m not the best with them, but a flushed shot is sooooo satisfying!! I have some old Ping I3 blades, they are t are just smaller cast clubs. Easy peasy.

[@ronaldolson3393]

Only an average golfer, I find the best around the green clubs (blades) better control and consistency. Be careful about game improvement clubs with graphite shafts. You’ll often find them longer, hotter with stronger loft none of these attributes will improve your pitching and shipping. Best advice from this club maker/fitter is 7/8-wedges (blades): 5-7/8 (Cavity Back) and 2-5 Hybrids or hollow bodies!

Mentioning Wilson in this video for CB's and not mentioning the absolutely amazing Staff Model CB's is a shame, such a great set of irons. Also we have seen many a few pros swap away from "pure" blades more into the MB's and even CB's and I personally think its great.

Playing a set of boutique blades. Could I do with something a touch more fogiving as a 16 handicap? Sure. Has it honed my game in knowing they are fitted exactly to me. Absolutely.

In my opinion the current infatuation with getting “fitted” for clubs especially irons is somewhat absurd. I am sort of an advisor to my friends who shoot scores in the 80s and 90s and I have encouraged them to get fitted. However, the fact that their new clubs have been selected in that way doesn’t mean that they will shoot scores that are dramatically lower. Often I fear they believe that. You cannot buy skill. It doesn’t hurt don’t get me wrong. But…. I personally play Titleist CB irons. They are great. After all, they have won both the US Open and The Open Championship in the past couple of years. But I might go to pure blades again. Either Titleist or perhaps Mizuno. I don’t anticipate any significant changes whatsoever. I just like them. And that’s what counts.

Why do no pros talk about loft and d-plane when discussing blades? It’s not as simple as blades being”harder” to hit or “shorter” than the alternatives.

And don’t forget to say whack when you hit them 👍

I played blades all last season and even though I could hit them they definitely didn’t help me. I’m still a very new golfer and it wasn’t a good fit. I switched to cavity backs this season and they already work much better and they go further even though I don’t think my swing is any faster

[@A1BASE]

The problem is that everyone thinks they’re better than they actually are. I’d love it if people could put qualifiers to statements like ‘a consistent ball striker’… I consistently strike the ball. That doesn’t mean I should play blades. Even ‘out of the middle’ is for interpretation - I bet most golfers couldn’t point to the middle of the face on a wedge, for example. Go out on a limb. Say outright ‘if you have hit more than 2 duffed iron shots in your last 5 rounds of golf then you probably shouldn’t play these irons.’ (Or whatever your metric is)

[@MrWubzHD2]

Awkward thing for me is I’m a 20-25 hcp but play a Mizuno 243-221 combo set switching at 6-7 iron(I don’t use 241 because they spin less then 221 but I do use 243 because 223 feel really crappy to me). For me “forgiving” clubs don’t have enough loft and even with tons of tungsten in the bottom they don’t go up for me. And I hate fitters because no matter what you say once you say your 20 hcp or above all they want to give you is game improvement irons and don’t even want you hitting anything else even if irons are not where you are losing strokes. Most my issues are driving OB or 3 putts.
