I completely agree. I ended up split setting them with the zx5’s and they are phenomenal for my attacking clubs. Thinner top line and short blade length but still enough there to give us some confidence over the ball as mid handicappers.
Tried the p790’s not too long ago, then I tried the Wilson D9 Forged, walked away with the Wilson’s, better in all categories for me, especially feel there incredible
Paradym X irons have brought my HCP from 22 to 15 this year & I just hit a new PB of 78 with them - just so easy to hit & accurate - I’m a slow swinger with disabilities to
James, You need to review the Srixon MK II series of Irons in comparison against TaylorMade and Titlist. They are better than the TaylorMade P series of Irons. I did and I bought them and never dreamed I would ever own Srixon clubs. Compare the 2 in a head to head I would love to see it!
I'm a senior with reduced clubhead speed. My T350s with tensei A flex have filled the bill. High launch- vertical drop and loads of forgiveness . Got back some yards too!
Glad to see you departed from the big brands in your assessment. Currently gaming some PXG 0211 DCs and love them. I have my eye on Tacomo's or another set of PXG's as my handicap continues to drop to mid handicap levels. Thanks James!
I’ve got this a few months too late. I’m getting on a bit now and my days of mid quality golf are getting less frequent. Had a look at the Tacomo 101 based on this review and now sick that I’ve bought something else. I couldn’t feel more sick.
Hi James, love the video. I'm looking to change my irons and feel the P790 are the type of iron I need. However I love the look of the Takomo irons and I know you have played all them, what would be closest to the P790. Many thanks Colin.
For high HCP I would probably suggest Wilson Launchpad, also brilliant for those with slower swing speed. Or maybe Wilson D9 (and I play Ping so not a Wilson fanboy - I think I last played Wilson irons 30 years ago!), as an alternative Srixon ZX4 look fantastic Not quite low HCP (yet, but do play off single figures) but I would not change out of my i210s even if I do eventually get there. If my clubs were stolen I would definitely look at Takoma, T150s and probably Srixon
do you think you can get away with a club change to improve your game. or do you think just having something shiney and new is what helps temporarley, you know that feeling of new, i remember saying a new pair of trainers helped me run faster, 😂im still using mp64s llke 10 yrs old now and when im playing well they feel loveley when im not i blame the equipment, just feels like a quick fix i guess its like most things having the money some people can throw money at things others have to grind lol ,wouldnt mind some reviews on old equipment compared to new see the comparisons, im off 14 but i cant use the big cavity backs only the mid range ones i actualy have a bladed 4 iron to which i hit quite well on a good day obvs
No issues with any of your choices. One thing to note is that all mid or even low handicap players are equal. In my case I play the P790s because I don’t get the distances from my clubs that I used to. I can hit muscle back irons but at 56 I find needing a six iron for 150 yard shots. Using the P790s gives me the ability to use a club that I would traditionally use.
My opinion for hybrid irons is the cobra t-rail just because the face still resembles an iron, for the high handicap I prefer the cobra tec forged. Enjoy playing them both.
Hybrid irons are the way forward probably see pros using them soon, especially when they potentially go further than the normal irons, to be honest i think that most people are iron snobs😮
James I definitely love the channel but have to disagree that P.790's are great for high handicappers , mid for sure and even lower to maybe a 5 or 6 handicapper if you need the distance but the high handicapper needs the Ping G430 , Taylormade Stealth's , Srixon ZX4 , Callaway Paradym X , Cobra Aerojets etc. but what I have found selling these clubs the 18 handicapper and above usually struggles with this iron but it is a great players distance iron !!!
I hate the p790s but I LOVE that James hates his audience so much that he's gotten petty enough to start trying to low key insult them by trying to make p790 users feel like high handicappers.
James great video. I have to push back on the idea that the pxg 0317 T are for mid handicappers. This year I got down to 0.3 index from 7 thanks to my short game improvement. Not my iron play. So in my mind I’m a mid handicapper when it comes to iron play and had high hopes for the pxg 0317 Ts. I got my Sunday set last weekend (4,7,9,gw) and have to say that they are not very forgiving. Additionally the feel was disappointing. I still think that the gen3 0311 were the softest/best feeling irons from pxg. I think the cobra forged tec are fantastic irons for the mid handicap bracket. I also love the Mizuno’s jpx line. I am looking forward to the mizuno pro 245’s even they come out.
Those eleven are good but ridiculous prices for one club, I bought a maxfli hybrid iron set resembles my cobra king SZ 5 hybrid so very pleased, and they are very forgiving and launch is superb, 8 years old but does the job, I brought this full set 4-PW for £80 happy days
