I have been looking at both.  I hit a friends 2.0 irons recently and they felt a little to oversized to me.   However, I haven't hit R9 but have heard great things on them and can buy a set cheap.   I know Jason Day hit R9 forever ( and still may be hitting them ).

Here is my biggest thing.  I am struggling with hitting my 4,5 and even 6 irons solid.   Been hitting them off the toe quite a bit and with forged irons I am losing a ton of distance.  I am just tired of trying to hit a players club when I need some more forgiveness.  I like the look of the R9 and am leaning that way ( they just look more traditional and better to me ).  But I wanted to see if anyone had any good opinions on this.

Thanks!

I've been playing the R9 TP Irons for just over a year now. I absolutely love the feel of the long irons. The 3 iron is my bailout club. If I'm struggling to find the fairway, I pull that out! I'm a big hitter so the 240 yard 3 iron that I know I can put in the fairway is very comforting.  I tend to struggle with my distance control on the shorter irons but I've been looking to go to forged short irons.

I highly recommend the R9 irons! The clubface seems to be very hot, even on off center hits

Thanks for the help on these.  I purchased a set today and am looking forward to playing them.  Will let you know how they perform.

    • Wordle 1,816 2/6* ⬛⬛🟧⬛⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧   forgot to play yesterday
    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.
