With winter coming up and a bunch of demo days being scheduled at the local indoor range, I'm looking for some suggestions as to what irons I should be looking to demo. I don't actually read a lot about equipment so I'm looking for a few suggestions in the 'category' that I'm looking in.

Currently I play mp52's w/ x100.

Likes: Feel and look. A well struck ball with these feels awesome. I also like the fact that a ball off the toe, heel, thin, or high, I can absolutely tell where the ball struck the face. The only other set of irons I have owned was a set of TM Burners. I was a 15 handicap at best when I stopped playing them. One of the main reasons I stopped playing them was that no matter where the ball struck the face, it felt the same.

Dislikes: They seem a bit short for my SS and the gaps are not as consistent as I'd like. Tend to dig deep with the short irons when I get a little steep, usually playing lower shots.

My standard ball flight is straight. I'll rarely play a shape into a green, but I will occasionally shape around a tree or out of trouble. I take a decent size divot, but I wouldn't say I'm a digger.

So far on my hit list I only have Ping s56 & Titleist AP2. I'm looking for a few other irons that would fit into that category. Oh, and I'm left handed so that not only limits some of my options but makes it difficult to demo.

Thanks!

If you are looking at the S56 why not check out the Ping Anser Forged as well while you are at it. Titleist 710 MB/CB combo while you check out the AP2's. To me either I was hitting the AP2's really well or they lack feedback but overall they feel very nice. Tried them out with KBS Tour x-stiff which seemed to play very similar to my DG S300's for me. Worth it to check out the Mizuno MP-63's and MP-68's, love the look of MP-68's and they definitely give you plenty of feedback.

Saw a set of those Anser Forged today at the course. While I thought they looked pretty nice I wouldn't even consider paying $1300 for them with so many other forged offerings out there. Just my .02

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
