- Trying to BREAK PAR using a FULL SET OF HYBRID IRONS!!! When playing golf we always want to make it as easy as possible for ourselves. But when it comes to buying the most forgiving golf clubs we don’t even consider it half of the time. Using hybrid golf clubs can really make golf easier. The best hybrid of 2022 differs for each person. And the most forgiving hybrid golf club does also. In this video I play golf using the Wilson Launch Pad 2 irons… or should I say FULL SET OF HYBRID IRONS… can we break par? Let’s find out… and let’s do it now!
Let's see a video with foxy using these clubs, longer videos are much better 👍
Already filmed. Stay tuned 🤘🏼🔥
I bought Cleveland hb launcher 4years ago when I started went 29/15 more people should use this type of club but caught up with hype and advertising ego let's them down because there not conventional I play different irons now takomo but I'd game them again
Thas the best IDEA
This video just confirms yet again for me that if you can't break eighty, you should be using clubs that look like this. Well done.
Sure I agree with the sentiment but only if you’re above the age of 50
@@Blakuscus I disagree. I do a lot of practice at the range and I would put 90 percent of the golfers I see in clubs like that. It's actually the older guys, that grew up playing blades, and are used to thinner soled clubs and how they move through the dirt, that are fine with blades up to a 6-iron and then hybrids and 7-woods when they run out of speed.
Finally a pro with the guts to play more than a few holes with these. Thank you. You tube pro's keep saying these are ideal for beginners, but not one will actually game them for an entire round.
I totally agree, I have been bouncing between wanting a set of these or the Cleveland Launcher XL Halos.
One of my golf buddies bought this exact set a few months ago. He's struggled with iron consistency the last few years and hits it "fat" quite often. He's already dropped from a ~25 handicap to 18 in just a few months with these irons. He regularly shoots in the 80s now and it's really good to see him enjoy the game more. These aren't going to completely fix a bad swing but they do make the miss hits less detrimental for sure.
@@TWTexasA1 He's about 45. But he didn't start golfing till his late 30s. He doesn't have the prettiest swing lol but it works for him. These wilson clubs are actually great clubs especially for higher handicaps that want more control and consistency. They aren't gonna be great for single digit handicap guys. But the average guy that shoots 90+ every round will definitely see the benefits.
Your buddy’s name Jeremy, by any chance?
@@scottelectronic no but that's my name lol
@@TWTexasA1 I'm 71 and in early spring of 2021 purchased a set of graphite regular shafted Cleveland Turbo Launcher Hybrid irons, because I had been losing distance and not able to hit the high ball. This set did help with both, I'm hitting the ball higher and longer and getting away with what would be a fat shot with regular irons. In my case newer tech has helped and I'm glad I made the buy. PS these Wilson Irons might be just a good for me as the Cleveland hybrid irons I purchased turned out to be.
Considering the longest club you had was a 5 iron you scored well, and this length of video is about perfect 👍.
I cant AGREE more! No driver at all and nearly broke par!
In your opinion which is better the Wilson hybrids or 11 hybrids
Wilson clubs are so under rated. The D9 irons are unbelievably good. Got down from 16 to 6 within a year using them.
That is a testimonial..... I am looking to get new irons this year. They will be in the group fir fitting...
Very impressive Wilson produce again
Love to see more videos with Hybrid Irons from other brands like Cleveland, Cobra... etc.
Cleveland makes a set
@@WillySnakes - yeah that's why he said he wants to see Cleveland's hybrid iron video
So I’ll say this. I have the Wilson LP 2020 irons and I love them! 34 years old with 90-100mph swing speed. I broke 90 for the first time ever with these and even shot as low as +11. I absolutely love these irons. The best part for me to is the chipping. My PW is so easy to bump and run it’s ridiculous. I just started golfing in 2020 and did a lot of research. So glad I got these and would highly recommend them!
Watched the whole video. Think a weekly 9 hole course management type video series would be great
Love the longer vids!!! Keep up the great work!
Love this video, and pretty much all your videos. You seem to be an on camera natural. Thanks for all the entertainment.
I am 64 yo and I think those clubs are very good this was not that long a video, and I did enjoy it.
For playing these clubs for the first time and having no warmup, one over par is excellent. BTW, this video was just the right length! Hope you are having a grand Summer!
Do a video of These clubs versus the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo
Agree 👍
Like the longer videos James. A lot of us watch golf TH-cam because we don’t get out to play as much as we want - nice to golf vicariously through you!
I'm sitting at my computer watching you play golf and it's 27° outside and snow is on the ground.
Those Wilsons are looking pretty good from here. And thanks for the tracers without there's no perspective.
Nine holes of golf content is great I usually watch the whole thing.
i have a set of the original launch pads. only paid 550CAD for them new. love them, great clubs, confidence boosting and feel great. increased my distance by almost 10 yards and straighter per club then my old set
First time out with the clubs, nothing longer than a 5 iron (24 degrees?). Pretty good performance, especially when you consider that you really didn't have a good feel for how far the individual clubs fly, and you put yourself at a disadvantage on the longer holes.
Great video. Watched to the end. As a 56 year old 20 hcp golfer, I have a set of these clubs on order.
golf should be fun I have a set of cleveland xl halos and the mishits go miles can't remember the last duff shot I had.
So how did you get over the look of hitting hybrid on a 9 iron?
I have the cobra t rail "irons". I absolutely love them, im 35 and off 4, these things are not just for beginners. If you can stand the look of hybrid irons, go for it because they are great!
I'm 58 and have been playing for 30 years. Now with a bad back and knees (I'm a floor layer) icant swing like I used to. I've been playing Cleveland launcher clubs for around 3 years and love them, however, I got measured up for a set of Wilson Launch pad 2 and have been gaming them around 2 months now and these clubs are on another level. Sure you still need a lob wedge in the bag especially for tight lies but anyone out there that are looking at these irons you will not regret it. Thanks again James for another fab video. By-the-way I recon Foxey will nail these clubs!
Great video. Enjoy your demeanor and accent. I've been playing my ping eye2 irons for 24 years. Used to play 3-4 rounds a week a few years back, but now 10 or fewer rounds a season. 15 handicap. I believe these will be a great upgrade. Cheers
Love the longer video. It is great to watch while working.
I kind a like the sound. It tells theres some Pop in the club👊
Great video need more 9 holes videos with Chris in it
stayed till the end, quite enjoyed it
James, great video, as always.
I've had the launch pad set for nearly 2 years now and love them.
I'm coming up 70 soon and they help me play half decent golf twice a week. I had a Wilson 4 wood put in the bag as well and that works a treat.
Keep doing what your doing pal.
Loved this longer video watched to the end. I think longer videos once in a while are nice.
I'm 65, beat up, have had three back surgeries, and CANNOT swing normally any longer. I use a 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W, 6i-PW, SW, LW. I took the driver out. A good drive for me is 230-240 max. Using senior shafts, graphite. I am in the camp of use ANYTHING that helps you enjoy the game more or improves the score! Why not? I also agree, for young folks new to the game, use irons and learn the game first. For the fossils like myself? Game improvement equipment is a plus.
I like the videos a bit l bit longer. Every day When I get up I open youtube and watch your video along with a few other's. I get fired up and head straight to the course. Thanks! Have not missed one in over a year.
I enjoy all of your videos like the longer ones if I have time to watch them
I had a set of these two years ago but couldn’t get use to the sound! Enjoyed watching to see what you can do with mid handicap irons.
Hi James just watching you use Wilson hybrid irons (launchpad) from 2yrs ago and your out early7.30 10.00 clock is early when your retired, only ever up that early to go on holiday,😂😂😂😂 bless you mate great videos, have just reach mid sixties and just watched your video on eleven hybrids!! will order my set next week just need that bit of help getting older loving the golf watch most of your videos quality.👍👍👍
I bought a set of these recently, to replace my Ping G425 irons. Feel like they have transformed my iron game and made me much more confident. Absolutely recommend them to anyone TBH. I play off 20 on the index ... Not a big hitter, but these really work well. Didn't realise there was a gap wedge until I saw this video this morning. About to email my pro and ask him to order me one.
Longer videos are great. This channel has become a daily watch.
Great video James,stayed to the end, more please. Been thinking about getting a set of these or the Cleveland halo launcher hybrid irons
I'm 54 and got back into golf after a 20-year hiatus (was never that good and used trash clubs before lol). So I went with these and they are no magic bullet, but they certainly are forgiving and light. I'm quite a bit better than before, but I'm not sure how much of it is due to these clubs, and how much is due to having access to a lot more "free golf lessons" on youtube that has helped my mechanics. I suspect it's a lot of both.
I also use the LP2 driver and hybrids (3-4-5). You could switch clubs down the road, but you could also play with these for the long haul too.
I have enjoyed the longer video.
Club testing on the course is the real deal....keep it up...more players would benefit from hybrid irons.
Yes. I liked the long video with more golf. When you play Chris on your channel and then his channel, maybe make it 4 holes on each. That makes for a little more viewing for us, and leaves the ninth hole as a potential tie breaker. My wife has a set of Pinseeker Fireball irons and I have a set of TaylorMade Iron Cleeks, which are both hollow irons from the 1980s. Maybe I should take those Iron Cleeks out of the basement and give them a go round at the driving range.
One over par James your still a class act.wish I could do that ! Foooooorrrre
I’m new to golf and looking at theses irons so I’m glad that you have done a longer video thanks 👍🏻
Great job James. Congrats on your wedding. I love the longer videos. I think I want to try them clubs. It looks like you are really hitting them effortlessly. Thanks
A high handicapper here....I've looked at these, but they seem like a massive heavy mallet type of club. I guess I'll be checking these out by heading down the my golf shop to hit a few. Great video.
Definitely liked the longer video. I'm thinking of picking up some of these for my Dad to maybe get him a few more yards while he can still play. Nice to see you have a good round with clubs completely different than your normal ones
definitely enjoy longer form videos but there is also place for the 10 mins one aswell
I think you can, I also think these would be really good for Mrs. Robinson.
Still here…there is something relaxing and so enjoyable watching someone play nine holes of golf and it is something I want to see more of.
I’m not confident enough to leave my bag I always take it to the tee.
Awesome video James and you really demonstrated those Wilson clubs to almost perfection
I never make comments on these videos, but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching you play nine holes with the Wilson LPs. I’m going to get the five, six and seven irons of the Wilson LP. Thank you and I would love to see other reviews using the same format of play nine holes. Thank you, Robert.
I haven’t played in over 35 years. I quit due to an injury but never returned. I now work at a golf course and will start playing again. I’m picking up these clubs tomorrow and I’m stoked about trying them out here at the end of the season. This video has been very intriguing.
I can’t wait to swing these irons and see what I can do with them. Thanks for the great video.
How did you end up hitting these clubs? Do you game them now?
I still use these clubs and have been very satisfied with how they feel. They are extremely forgiving.
Good review and 9 hole use of all the clubs. Just got this set for my son who has not played in 12 years to get him back in the game. He is happy
I really enjoy longer videos it gives me something good to watch on my lunch break every day!! Keep them up please!
I prefer the longer videos as long as it doesn’t affect the overall quality of the content.
I enjoy the longer golf vids. Right around 20 minutes is ideal for me
Thanks James!! Watched the whole video. I always appreciate vids on irons like these, as I’ve been considering a set. Not sure yet, but videos like this one always help.
I think you did really well for only having a 5 iron for some of the longer shots/drives. Liked the long format and on-course review.
Love the look of these!
Enjoyed the longer format!
Friend of mine has them and has transformed his game, he has a shoulder injury and these just give him the extra help, now he’s getting too close, so time to up my game lol
Still here still watching. Loving the longer vids James. Plus, what an awesome morning to have been out playing golf. 😁
Enjoyed the video More of these please
Nice playing james.
I normally dont watch long videos. However, i did watch this whole video. I watch based on my interest of certain clubs you show.
Thank you.
honestly.....can we please get another video with these irons...I really think they are awesome!
I play full set of Wilson's and have through my last three sets of clubs. Really didn't want these to perform too well because I dislike them. You may have changed my mind. Working at a golf course I had recommending super expensive clubs to so many new players, ladies, seniors, or even long time golfers I know just don't work on their game. These might very well become my recommendation for these categories. Well, as long as boss doesn't find out I'm not pushing more expensive names. I haven't got these but going to ask my Wilson rep to bring them this summer during demo days. Thanks
Really enjoy the longer videos pal.
Enjoying the format and length of video. We pensioners are always looking for more help and this video was very useful
I like your long and short videos. I'm new to golf (high 90s) so i appreciate all the insight and instruction along with seeing it in action on the course.
I'd love to see you invite some other TH-cam golfers as guests sometime, James. Love the longer videos now and again too.
Yes. This was great. I also could see using these clubs for sure if I could find them anywhere. Loved it.
Yes, I enjoy the longer videos. I agree with the other posters that it would be interesting to see Foxy's reaction using these clubs.
I'm glad you're doing reviews of SGI clubs and from Wilson too! Too many TH-cam golfers only do big brands and players irons that only fit a small percentage of golfers. One question: everyone says GI and SGI clubs are not workable. I don't understand the physics of those statements. Drawing or fading the ball is a result of swing path vs club face direction. Flighting the ball lower or higher results from shaft lean and ball position (forward or backward in the stance). None of that has anything to do with sole or face size. You proved you could shape the ball (both on purpose and by accident). So are all those who claim GI and SGI clubs are not workable just ignorantly regurgitating hype or am I not understanding what they mean by workable? The only physics I can really see is that the CG of a hybrid is further back and the CG of an iron is further forward. In drivers and fairway woods that affects spin and forgiveness. Shouldn't physics and math apply equally the same to hybrid/irons? Please explain the "not workable" perception.
Preferred the longer vlog. I use the Cleveland Launcher Halo XL irons with graphite shafts and find them similarly excellent for my 21 handicap senior swing. Clubs like these Wilsons make golf so much more straightforward. I and those like me can't put in hours on the range to improve, often due to physical limitations. This type of club stops your bad shot being terrible, so are well worth it, especially as they're not expensive either.
James, yes, please keep the longer videos coming. Its nice to see you plot around the course with new equipment
Enjoyed the longer video. Shooting +1 with only irons is still pretty good. Keep up the good work James.
One of your best videos mate
Yes, enjoying this longer video since it is a review of the irons. Hard to judge after a few holes.
watched the whole video and definitely enjoyed it! would like to see you play a match or something like that with these in your bag with your normal driver, woods and wedges.. I think you'd be surprised! good stuff Jamesy boy
I have just found your channel James. Throughly enjoyed it. I am looking to get a set of these. I just have a gut feeling about these clubs. I'm now 68 and got back into golf after an ankle replacement operation. So I need all the help that I can get. Thanks James.
Great video, I like to listen to these style videos the same as I would listen to a podcast. Keep up the great work. I have a set of these irons on order even now in August 2023✌🏼
Love the new longer format plse keep them coming.
Still here and enjoying it. More of this !
One of your best videos! Nice to see you using clubs that older high handicappers like myself find interesting.
Very enjoyable video! I am 75 yo with same swing speed. My glory days of over 275 yards uphill with a 3 wood are from long ago. Just looking to shoot under bogie on par 3 courses with my 3 grandsons and have fun and some success. Played 9 holes with 93yo gentleman with macular degeneration last week and he played just under bogey golf. Hope for us all enjoy this game for many more year. These types of clubs are very enjoyable!
Big fan of the full 9 hole video. Keep 'em coming!
As a Senior Golfer, I would bet a lot of Seniors would find these clubs quite useful! My Nike Slingshot irons are pretty close to hybrids. Even though I am not playing right now, bad lower back injury plus, my doctors don't want me doing outdoor activities when it's over 85°f...I would love to try them! I know my Nike's have helped me hit that ball as far as I was with my Lynx Black Cats...so I really haven't had to change my iron selection process.
I know I would like to see you play 9 holes with blades from the 1960's or 70's with a Persimmon driver and fairway woods. You can use your wedges and putter!
The first time I broke par was with my 1966 Wilson Staff Fluid Feel irons and my McGregor Eye-O-Matic Persimmon Driver, 2 & 4 wood. I carried my 5 iron - PW and SW with a Acushnet Bullseye Blade putter... early 1970's vintage! ( I still use it! )
I really enjoyed this video. As an over 60 male, I might want to consider these clubs.
James as a 70 year old, I could use the help in getting the ball airborne. I just may have to look at these Wilson irons. Much appreciate the review and your comments. Cheers.
Definitely a lover of the longer videos. They look like a little weapon off the tee tbf.
I do enjoy the longer videos out on the course, regardless of whether you play with other golfers or not. Real-world reviews and fun matches with friends are always great!
I've had Cleveland Launchers for 3 years. Love em.
Great video James. I like 10 to 12 min videos. I don't mind longer videos now and then. You're videos are the best golf content on TH-cam. I look forward to them every day. Keep up the good work.
I like the longer form for sure! But I do understand youtube is a game and you gotta play the algorithm, so you should do whatever works best. 🍻
I'm not a big fan of long videos, I would normally skip through, but I had a particular interest in this one as an older friend of mine is looking to buy some of these. I'll share the video with him. Thanks James
Nice information on this new irons James and the video length is perfect!
Fun vid. Enjoyed watching it. You actually worked the ball with these shovels and your shots onto the greens didn't run rampant due to lack of spin. This was a lesson for all recreational golfers to not use clubs that are above their pay grade. Go out and have fun by using user friendly clubs. Simple
As a senior golfer, and being pressed into adjusting my shafts/clubs as swing speeds slow, i find myself moving from 2,3,4 irons to a couple hybrids and now to perhaps hybrid irons in place of my 5, 6 and maybe 7 irons to keep my yardage gaping workable. Friends are using these hybrid irons and love them. Most TH-cam channels hit a couple shots using the quad and call it good. I like your 'approach' better. Would like to see you have a go with the newer Taylormade Stealth HD's.
Yes please James more of these types of video
