I’m an 7 handicap and absolutely love these. It is a bit of a rough start getting used to the small loft. But as soon as you realize your old 6 is your new 7 your fine.
@@golfshake Believe it or not the industry call that a strong loft, weaker lofts move closer to the PW...Go figure...more to figure out in the easy game of golf.....Enjoy....
I play the 919 Pros bent mostly weaker - specs (PW,9,8,7,6,5) -> (47,42,38,32,28,24) - I worked with the TXG guys in Toronto arriving at these specs - it spreads PW-5 into traditional blade lofts of PW@47 - 4iron@24 but using 1 less club. With a proper shaft spec'd for you (I'm using the 120gram DG S300), the clubs are consistent with great spin; and for me, produce 13-yard gaps (133,146,159,172,185,197). If buying today, I would buy the new 921 improved Forged and do exactly the same.
You are the second pro now to say that the Pro is graphite. Do you guys not know that the Project X LZ is just blacked out steel?? You weren't hitting the Recoil graphite were you. Not a fair test if so. Of course the graphite would go longer.
great video, got fitted yesterday before lockdown have to choose between either pro head or order hot metal, with just use recoil esx460 graphite shafts as they suited me best , shoulder injuries etc have slowed my swing down, any recommendations ? much appreciated , stay safe and greetings from Ireland
Agree w/ the bottom two comments . . . that shaft is the Project X Blackout LZ . . . which certainly looks like a graphite shaft but it's steel . . . that is the shaft that you have in there right?
@@Daveporter249 are you my doppelgänger? I literally ordered a set 4 days ago and they said it would be about 5 weeks. 🤣 right now I’m playing Titleist T200’s. They’re a good club I just like to play different irons and it doesn’t cost anything so I figured why not.
@@robertduncan8400 haha, long lost golf brother. Ya, hopefully they come soon because I am going to be playing pebble Beach next week, would love to take them with me but we'll see. Im currently playing the taylormade m2 tour that ive had since 2016, so im due for an upgrade. How do you get the iron sets for free?
@@Daveporter249 pebble beach? That’s my dream course to play one day. Growing up watching the pros play it and playing that course on video games always made me want to play it for real one day. And I don’t get them for 100% free. But there’s this program at one of the local golf shots where you can purchase clubs and swap them out for other clubs multiple times. It’s a really nice deal because you get to test what’s out there.
@@robertduncan8400 for our anniversary, my wife booked the pebble Beach trip for the two of us and another couple we golf with. Im really looking forward to playing there. Its going to be my first time and we get to play it two consecutive days, so hopefully I can improve my score the second day. Also, that program sounds awesome. I wish the club I belong to had a program like that.
I just got the HMP with a recoil shaft and are at least a club longer than my Apex CF16s Not much point doing a comparison here of two different shafts - schoolboy error that
Great video dude. I got fit for the HM pros a week and a half ago. I did not get to hit the forged though. Coming off playing ping i20s for years, I’m a little worried how ‘bulky’ the HM pros might look and feel with turf impact. Kind of pissed I didn’t get to hit the forged, how much sleeker are the forged? Thanks for any insight, having buyers remorse, even though they won’t come for another month..playing at about a 10..
@@stanbillings8511 nope not even a phone call with an update. Golf galaxy said they would have to call the manufacturer. Honestly I get everything going on with covid but it’s ridiculous, $1,200 spent without an idea on when they’re coming. Hitting my pings better than I ever have of course too lol..
@@stanbillings8511 finally came took just under 8 weeks which is absurd but exactly what I ordered snd worth the wait, shot a 79 first round out bye bye pings
Certainly looks like the X Blackout LZ to me. I've already seen that Mizuno is shipping the 5.5 as a stock flex to golf stores so perhaps he got that flex and it just didn't work for him.
My MP-60s are short for their numbers, but one can easily adjust... If he can toss ego...btw, anybody hitting a 6 this far makes this video rather irrelevant to me.
Video focus is the product overview and then our we found them during our test. We will be looking to do more stuff later this year and how it relates to a wider range of golfers.
@@golfshake I also think a good idea when reviewing clubs is for players that the clubs are meant to suited to do the reviews. Eg low, mid and high handicappers
@@danielmosias6280 Yep this is something we are definitely going to look at doing more of in 2021. Ryan is great providing the full product overview, tech insights and how they stack up but we are also keen on showing how this relates to average golfers.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment. Great feedback for others.
That would be the Project X Blackout steel shaft in the Pro wouldn’t it? That’s the standard shaft.
Yes. We've reclarified in the information/video that the Hot Metal Pro features the black Projext X blackout shaft.

Is the 921 hot metal a smaller club than the Ping g425?
Awesome review 👍
Thanks! 👍
I demoed the pro’s and my average 7 iron distance over 50 shots was 186.8 yard carry. Had a good feel, the head just feels a bit heavy.
I got fitted into the pros and my average carry for the 7 was 186.9 almost the exact same as you. Ive been waiting 5 weeks so far to get them.

Regarding credability of content and opinion/ facts, is the gentleman who posted the comparison a golf Professional or simply a golfer?
Info in the video and description. Golf professional
I haven't shopped for irons in over 20 years still have the taylor made LCG's from high school. And I come to find out they axed the 3 ir, WTF?!?!
Great review..Thanks ..
Thanks for watching!

I’m curious if you have received them? I’m in the same boat as you. Waiting 5 weeks now. If you have received them how are you liking them?

Good vid, but shafts used and there specs should be mentioned..
We need to understand why you used different shafts. Not a fair comparison if not the same. And was the Pro graphite or not?
Certainly looks like the X Blackout LZ to me. I've already seen that Mizuno is shipping the 5.5 as a stock flex to golf stores so perhaps he got that flex and it just didn't work for him.
Unfortunately I don’t get a say in what spec they are sent in! Some brands do ask but some don’t.
Updated in the video/description to make this clear
Thanks
No problem

I know this is an older video now BUT you’re comparing also a steel vs graphite shaft? Not a fair comparison really is it.
Both are steel shafts, project X on the pro is painted black steel.
Not apples to apples if your using two different shafts.
Outside tou say non pro was easier to control and then inside you say you were hooking non pro. Which is it, lol?
You mentioned everything except what I think is the most important thing, dispersion
Will rectify in future videos
