And I like 'em a lot. Enough for me to go on eBay and pick up a set, anyway.

I'm coming off of back injury rehab, and my trusty Titleist 704 CBs (DG S300's) were getting harder and harder to hit for me. Last time out, I lost my 8-iron somewhere on the course, so I used that as an excuse to go shopping for a new set.

Price was a key consideration for me (money's been tight lately), but I also needed something to help me get the ball up and be a little more forgiving when my swing was shaky. The forged 704 CB's, though plenty forgiving, definitely did my back no favors when I didn't make good contact.

The Ignite irons aren't really being marketed much by Nike, aside from Rory putting them in play. But the price point is really low (relatively speaking) and they're pretty easy on the eyes at address for a super game improvement club. The topline's not terribly thick, and the offset is only really glaring in the 3-hybrid.

They feel pretty solid at impact, and it's hard to hit 'em anything but straight. Not really a bad thing for me these days, but for those that like to work the ball, it could be an issue. They also hit the ball pretty high, and the stock uniflex steel shaft seems to assist in that regard. I may end up swapping those out, but we'll see how it goes with my new, slower swing speed.

Distance is good, though that's not really the point with irons for me. It'll take me a while to dial in my club selection, but such is the case with new irons anyway.

I'll post results when I've played a few rounds with 'em. My Titleists will remain in my garage as backups should I decide the Ignites aren't for me.

Caught a great BIN deal on eBay... $289 + $25 for priority shipping. They retail for $399 usually.

    • Got it. No, he hasn’t asked for the angle, I can move that over and get another video. That really was a poor video. I’ll get another. Sorry about that. 
    • Day 138 - 2025-02-15 Stayed after Junior Elite for 90 minutes. Almost exclusively downswing stuff at various speeds. At high speeds I'm consistently 1-2° right. At slower speeds, 6° out if I exaggerate it a little. (Slower speeds for me are 70 MPH 6Is).
    • Three things (pay attention to or discard any of these as I know you're working with someone): Camera position is what I'd call poor. It's too far out toward the ball. Maybe your instructor wants it way out there, but I feel that's unlikely. https://evolvr.com/recording-your-swing/ That camera angle makes the first image on the left look better than it actually is - you're taking the clubhead out quite a bit and using your arms a lot early. Then at the top it continues - your left arm-clavicles gap is probably pretty narrow, and you've probably not turned very much here at all.
