I bought these at the beginning of the summer. First time I had dropped serious $ on clubs and frankly, 110% worth it. I grew up playing cheap clubs that you’d buy in a full set, and spent my early 20s playing my great-grandfathers blade-like irons circa the late 90s. Hitting these things was like driving a rolls-Royce after only driving a beater car all my life. Amazing clubs, super forgiving, great soft feel, and I gained almost 20 yards on my 5 iron. Love these things!
That's the way I started. Some old school blades. Then I picked up a friend's sim 2 irons and they felt so much better to hit. Still rocking the blades for now but I want to get a new set.
Purchased the originals upon release and still love them to this day. Aesthetically, they still rock with only the P770s and these new P790s beating them.
How about a video playing with a set of game improvement irons like Cobra T Rail at the same time as a set of Players irons? Maybe play the same hole with each set?
I always enjoy Rick's honest approach to every comparison video... Also the way he manages to insert a multitude on "other" corporate names...TaylorMade clubs in a Ping bag, Nike shoes, likely hitting Titleist balls and all while wearing red G-string underwear...Well done!!!
I have the 2017 version and I love them. Im an 8.8 HDCP. full disclosure, I spent a lot of money on lessons. I was easily a 20 when i really started golfing but have improved my game greatly, and these clubs really help! The inspire confidence when standing over the ball, and deliver the performance. I wish my set had a gap wedge, but will likely buy a separate 50 or 52 to cover the gap left by the strong lofted PW. I would by these clubs again in a heart beat.
Just hit my P790 irons for the first time on the course . These are hands down the sickest irons ever . Amazing feel, forgiving and good distance . Highly highly recommended. Rick is right best all around iron ever !
Rick I like how thorough you are in your testing of equipment. Really enjoy watching all of your videos. I'm about 15 handicapper and I have to admit I am playing better after watching your videos. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to win a set of decent irons on your giveaways. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch all of your videos!
I absolutely love my 2019 P790's. By far my favorite irons I've ever played. Looks are important to me and I get that with these clubs without massively sacrificing on forgiveness which I need as an 8 handicap. I also love that I can really step on them if needed. I've always preferred to take a full swing if possible and these irons allow me to do that more often by clubbing down and stepping on one. Sound and feel are great too.
Just got fitted and these were the ones I went with, looks amazing at address and the ball flight I have with these is so pure. It’s also forgiving without looking forgiving which is great
I lucked into a full set of these from a co worker who also happened to be left handed and had just gotten fit for PXG’s. He had been fit for P790’s about 1.5 years earlier. I love them. They are a huge improvement over my old old offset top flites. Even though they weren’t fit for me I feel like I’m actually playing golf now instead of embarrassing myself with every swing. I’ll probably ride them for many more years until I can justify to the wifey I need to get a full bag fitting…. You know eventually….
I quit. I just got the p790's from Taylor made this month, ordered in April. Now you're telling me 2021 is out. I payed 1500 Hundo for an old set now. Lovely
Rick I made a visit to a golf store in our town and went into the simulator and I hit every game improvement iron they had. Callaway Apex, Apex DCB, Mizuno JPX Hot Metal & Hot Metal Pro, Ping G425, Taylormade Sim2, Sim Max, and M6. All of them were 7 irons. My current irons are 2006 Big Bertha. I hit my 7 iron about 135 to 140 yards. I am 64 years young and a 19 handicap. I did not hit the Callaway clubs that well. They were the first ones that I hit and I hadn't warmed up so that could have been the problem. I hit each of these irons about 148 to 153 yards on average. The young man that was helping me why I didn't grab the Taylormade P790. I told him that it looked like something that would be difficult for a higher handicap golfer to hit. He told me I would be surprised. First swing with the P790, 161 yards. Great feel with a slight draw. My normal shot is a slight fade but usually straight. Second swing, 165 yards, high ball flight with a slight draw, same great feel. Third swing absolutely sweet, 169 yards, next one, 172 yards. Never in my life have I hit a 7 iron over 150 yards. Now the bad news, the golf shop can custom fit me but will not be able to make the clubs until next year. No stock. The Taylormade P790 are the best irons that I have ever hit. Great video Rick.
Idk how long you've been around, but that I believe is why 99% of people love his content and have stuck around for years with him, he's been so honest and upfront with everything he's done. Including when his partnership with Nike ended, he's just a great honest person, there isn't enough praise you can give him for that.
I love the look of them! Got fitted for the 2019 model back in May, Taylormade generously upgraded me to the new ones due to delays and I'm so glad they did! Can't wait for them to arrive
Just purchased p770s this year and absolutely love them. The only reason I didn’t go for the p790s was basically looks although they may have suited my ability level better. If these were available in April, I probably would have gone for them as slightly more forgiveness than the p770s. That said.. I love the look of my p770s and performance has been great and very workable for my 18 handicap abilities 😁 Thanks for the video Rick, top quality as always 👍🏻
I absolutely love Rick.. He is a great TH-cam golfer!! I think everyone can identify with his honesty in showing all his shots!! Please come to Canada mate!!!
Hey Rick, are you going to review the Takomo Golf 101 irons? I've seen James Robinson and a few others review them and they all love them. I'd love to see your thoughts on them.
I play the 2019 model of these and love them. The consistency in dispersion is second to none and they still give some forgiveness for me as an 18 handicapper. They look stunning and I prefer them to the look of the new ones. Great review Rick
They feel so good when you strike them right. I’m a mid handicapper and love these. I discovered the same thing you did, 6i & below they offer good distance dispersion. Much respect for not editing out the first fat shot. Cheers!
Rick, Thank you for this video, I have to agree with you, I am a mid handicapper and decided it was time to replace my old TaylorMade M5s, I tried for a month the PXG third gen P and I could not hit them consistently at all , I was so frustrated that ended up returning them and got back to he drawing board. I narrowed down my short list to the Mizuno Hotmetal, Mizuno pro 225, Mizuno Forged and the P790, after a long and detailed fitting session, the PI790 was the best fit for my type of swing, and ended up buying them, they are forgiving enough for my type of swing and handicap (15) , and I am over the moon how happy I am with these clubs. In term of looks, for my taste, I rated the Mizuno pro 225 first, a second close the P790 and a third the hotmetal/Forged. When I tried the Mizuno and the P790., I felt far more confident with the P790, it is possible because I am coming from the same family, for whatever reason, I was hitting the P790 longer and with less dispersion the Mizuno.....
I’ve had the 2019 P790’s for around 11 months now, and they have been an amazing set to have in the bag. They give you a lot of confidence at address and definitely a decent amount of forgiveness on slightly off center shots. Like Rick said, the only real worry is that if you nail one flush it can go a club further than anticipated and does mess with your head a bit. But that’s an operator error, not the clubs. Going from 17 to 8 handicap will do that. I do find myself thinking (due to being a fairly long hitter) that stronger lofted clubs may be beginning to be a hindrance rather than a help and a club that promotes shot shaping might be a better option. Maybe some P7MB’s might be the ticket..if they release a ‘21 version I might be in trouble!
I got the original p790s right after they first came out. I know this is cheesy AF, but I still get as excited to hit them as I did when I got them. My handicap hovers between 0.5-1.4ish, and these irons do everything I need them to do. I think they are the only clubs in my bag (and quite possibly the only clubs I’ve ever owned) where I’ve never considered switching to something new or different.
Im interested in buying some more forgiving clubs. My handicap hovers from 0-2. I’m currently playing mizuno mb 25. My concern is that I may hit them too long and/or have too big of a gap between my wedges and low irons. Do you have any issues like that?
You should try the black edition Rick. Just bought a set and really pleased. Hit so straight and I’m a high handicap. Played Thursday with a dreadful short game, but still a massive improvement. Could be your tips of course, maybe a combination of both. Absolutely love the P790.
I still have the original P790's and play 2-3 times per week with them. I ABSOLUTELY love them! I dont swing hard at anything (unless I have to) and they perform wonderfully !!
I just got fitted and wound up with a set of these irons (5-Pw). I tried roughly 5 different manufacturers, 3 different shafts, and these just blew me away. When I hit the center of the face it was so smooth! I can't wait for them to arrive so I can go out and play a round!
The beat of the music and the cuts exactly on his strikes from 5.46 mins.. fantastic editing as you said.. Like a professional production ( not sure if that's what it's called)
I have the same 2021 P790 with TTDG VSS 105 shafts. Finally applying some technology to the problem. They are longer AND more forgiving than my previous set. Wonderful clubs.
Great video Rick. I still play with an original set of the 2017 version of the P790’s, which I bought brand new. I had the lofts weakened by 2 degrees on every club when I was fitted. Taylormade seem to be tinkering with the looks to make them look different and give them shelf appeal. I won’t be replacing my 2017 P790 irons with the 2021 version, as you can’t improve a masterpiece, which the original 2017 irons are.
I need all forgiveness I can get. It’s going to be hard for my mom to come around and forgive me for the fact that I spent this amount of money on a set of irons.
12 handicap player. I played a round just using these Taylormade P790 4 thru PW.(No driver, 3wood or 5 wood). They are the BEST clubs I have ever hit. They are EVERYTHING advertised. Forgiving? YES...Highly suggested.
I just want to say I watched the video serious u done about slicing off the tee an I changed my grip my path an stance an my game is so much better I was shooting mid 90s an now I am in the low 80s it's crazy how much it has changed my game
You have me intrigued on these irons. Being a high handicap player and currently game a set of 714CB titleist this may be a future purchase sometime. Thanks for another great video review Rick
Recently bought these and they are easily the best irons I've ever owned or played. I'm a 10 handicap but these could easily be played by anyone 10 strokes on either side of that. They look amazing, feel great and are easy to hit out of a variety of lies.
Ordered the 2019 P790s back in April. They didn’t come in until 2 weeks ago, so now I’m stuck with the older model right when the new ones come out. Gotta love it.
Love the look of these and the P770. While I haven't tried these yet I did try the P770 and I actually didn't care for the feel/sound. Hoping these will be better but they do look fantastic.
From 8:00, I’d like to see you spray the club face with powder coupled with the GC Quad to see where on the face you’ve hit the ball and where the ball ends up! Merely just a suggestion of course! Really enjoy your channel!
I have to tell you Rick, for me it is only about performance. I don't care what the irons look like or if they are clicky. I am 64 years old, an 18 handicap. If the iron is ugly and noisy but I can get a 7 iron to fly 160 yard and straight, I am very very happy.
My favorite forgiving iron is what’s in my bag the ping g410. Super forgiving and don’t even look chunky. So if anyone wants a good irons those are fantastic
A note on the brushed chrome: It's less expensive than polished, so it seems like a natural move by manufacturers as they try and find ways to improve the club, while minimizing cost.
Heyyyoooooooo first comment!!! Love you Rick!! Shot my lowest score yesterday a 76 at eagle crest (eastern Michigan’s college course) appreciate all the videos you make that have HELPED me tremendously. Keep it up, all love here from Michigan. Damn not first comment my phone bamboozled me lol
Currently got the 2020 p770 after swapping in my p750s.. p770s don’t feel quite as nice as fully forged p750s but they’ve done such a good job with the progressive forgiveness through the set.. short irons aren’t hot at all and feel solid and the 5 iron is an absolute rocket 🚀 they look incredible too!
@@justinrowe2715 I’ve never compared the p790s so hard to say but looking at the video this years model look more similar to p770s then previous models.. p770s are just have a slightly blade length with less offset and a thinner topline and I believe the lofts are weaker then p790s .. you could definitely combo the two sets! You might had to adjust the lofts where your combo starts but they definitely look good together now!
They look really good. I got fitted for the Ping I500 and now I play with ping clubs but I really wanted to play with Taylormade, their sets of clubs looks so good!
I was planning on getting fit for these cause they are so nice but my pockets suggested I go second hand. Got a steal on R11s and am very happy. Still have these in the dream bucket!
I don’t hate them, but if they are louder combined with the fact I personally think my 2019’s look better, I’m glad I didn’t wait when I got fitted last year. Love my P-790’s!!
Taylormade is on a run of making some great irons wow. I brought up the distance inconsistency issue to the taylormade rep when I got fit for my p770's and he said the p790 distance inconsistency is due to the player not the iron. Those who complain that they'll randomly smoke one aren't consistent ball strikers and at that moment caught one off the middle rather than hitting it off the toe or off the heel.
I’ve got a set of these. Got the 2019 version (but bought in 2020). Bought them when I was playing off 26 and now I’m 18. Can safely say have had no problems hitting them!
Rick, I just recently switched over to PXG I just put the Gen 3 0311Ts in the bag and I love them!! What are your thoughts on PXG? If you've got a chance to review them I'd highly recommend it! Cheers mate!🍻
I got fitted for a driver (Epic Max LS) the other day, and the fitter gave me one of these (7 iron) to warm up, and I have to say I was impress by their look, and their feeling of the face. Felt pretty nice and they gave me a "tour" vibe type of irons.
Finding clubs that work for you is so much more difficult that one would think. Thanks for another great review. I have been and am still on the hunt for affordable beginner clubs.
I hit the prior version of the TaylorMade 790s before I bought PXG 0211 irons (original version). The gel or foam in the hollow irons is the same concept. The feel of a club is truly an individual preference.
Just bought these!! Unfortunately, didn't have the time to get them custom fitted, but I guess I could always retrofit them later on, if needed. Can't wait to hit these bad boys!!!
Speaking as someone who dropped 10 shots/round this year, the biggest factor has been that I’m not spraying the ball everywhere. I have a set of mizuno jpx825 irons, and while they look chunky and they’re old, I can keep the ball in front of me. I don’t care if my clubs are cross-eyed and drooling on the floor. I’ll take a poor looking iron over a beautiful bladed iron every time if I know I can keep the ball in front of me.
I did the reverse learn technique. Learnt how to play with blades. When my hdc went down, picked up some ping iblades, went down more and currently using cobra king forged tec blacks. Thinking about these next. Makes it feel like the game is getting easier rather than I'm getting better! 🤣
@@rybry5080 that's it mate. Made perfect sense to me and seemed to work better than starting with easier ones. The aim is to get down to game improvement Irons and feel like I'm cheating! 🤣
Hi 👋 also check out my new podcast: th-cam.com/video/t90az2NkmE4/w-d-xo.html

Just starting golfing you have been a good help sir
Did you get to test the Scotty Cameron champion choice release Rick?
They can stay good irons for £939 5-PW. Golfing equipment is getting ridiculous
Only forgiveness I care about is how much I'll get from my wife when she finds out I'm buying these 😬
Bahahahaha 🤣🤣, was thinking the same thing
😂😂😂😂same i just got the Srixon Z785 a year ago lol and were trying to buy another house but priorities you know
they’ll understand 😂
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission
Do you think when she sees a bag or some shoes she wants that she considers you at all?
Hahaha

How about a video playing with a set of game improvement irons like Cobra T Rail at the same time as a set of Players irons? Maybe play the same hole with each set?

Mizuno MP-18 Blades for me, split set 4+5 irons in an MP-18 CB and 6-PW in Blades. Love the look, soft of the face and shapeable.

I just got fitted and wound up with a set of these irons (5-Pw). I tried roughly 5 different manufacturers, 3 different shafts, and these just blew me away. When I hit the center of the face it was so smooth! I can't wait for them to arrive so I can go out and play a round!
the videography and editing on this video was class
The beat of the music and the cuts exactly on his strikes from 5.46 mins.. fantastic editing as you said..
Like a professional production ( not sure if that's what it's called)
I have the same 2021 P790 with TTDG VSS 105 shafts. Finally applying some technology to the problem. They are longer AND more forgiving than my previous set. Wonderful clubs.
I've just ordered 5,6,7 iron in p770 and 8,9,pw p7mc. can't wait for them to come
I went similar except I went MC in 7iron also. You won't be disappointed. Its an epic combo set
Great video Rick. I still play with an original set of the 2017 version of the P790’s, which I bought brand new. I had the lofts weakened by 2 degrees on every club when I was fitted. Taylormade seem to be tinkering with the looks to make them look different and give them shelf appeal. I won’t be replacing my 2017 P790 irons with the 2021 version, as you can’t improve a masterpiece, which the original 2017 irons are.
Thanks for all the help with your videos Rick I’ve been golfing for a year and a half and made my second EAGLE in 3 weeks!!!
I need all forgiveness I can get. It’s going to be hard for my mom to come around and forgive me for the fact that I spent this amount of money on a set of irons.
ZX5
Ha ha!!
So Rick - what do you consider to be the BEST irons in the world?
Based on the video he doesn’t have an answer because no one set can be the best at everything.
@@nbeaudoi2837 I was thinking the same thing. Also personal preference. Everyone swings slightly different.
Love the channel Rick! Will you be reviewing the new Titleist T100-300s any time soon? Would love to hear you opinion of these irons.
12 handicap player. I played a round just using these Taylormade P790 4 thru PW.(No driver, 3wood or 5 wood). They are the BEST clubs I have ever hit. They are EVERYTHING advertised. Forgiving? YES...Highly suggested.
I’ve just ordered these after having a club fitting! After trying numerous clubs these just felt so good on impact. Thanks for the video
I just did the same today. That’s why I’m here. They said it’ll be 4-6 weeks 😩😩😩😩
The best set of iron ever made was the Titleist 681T!
You are so fun to watch! So consistent and smooth. I love watching you golf. I’ve taken a lot of what you say to my course in Idaho!
I just want to say I watched the video serious u done about slicing off the tee an I changed my grip my path an stance an my game is so much better I was shooting mid 90s an now I am in the low 80s it's crazy how much it has changed my game
You have me intrigued on these irons. Being a high handicap player and currently game a set of 714CB titleist this may be a future purchase sometime. Thanks for another great video review Rick
Let me know I'll have your old one's
I have 704s CB and I'm looking for another set to play while I restore mine. Then have the second set restored in brushed carbon black.
Recently bought these and they are easily the best irons I've ever owned or played. I'm a 10 handicap but these could easily be played by anyone 10 strokes on either side of that. They look amazing, feel great and are easy to hit out of a variety of lies.
Love the brushed finish compared to chrome
Ordered the 2019 P790s back in April. They didn’t come in until 2 weeks ago, so now I’m stuck with the older model right when the new ones come out. Gotta love it.
Poor sod. I always research when new models are out before ordering or getting fit. Lots of information out there on forums.
What degree wedges do you play after the set PW?
I just got the 2019 version and I love all of them except for the 4 iron
4 Iron is out of my bag, using a 3 Hybrid instead
Love the look of these and the P770. While I haven't tried these yet I did try the P770 and I actually didn't care for the feel/sound. Hoping these will be better but they do look fantastic.
I play the P790 from 2020. And it’s the best golf clubs I ever had. I played at hcp 1 and played the game for 30 years.
Came here after hearing you talk about them on the podcast. I’m getting fit for new irons tomorrow and I’m looking at getting these
As someone with 54.6 handicap that has played with these irons. I would buy them and use them because they suit me quite well despite my handicap.
I bought these irons a few months ago and absolutly love them
I have the 2017's and really love them. A great all around club. Excellent feel and they look nice.
From 8:00, I’d like to see you spray the club face with powder coupled with the GC Quad to see where on the face you’ve hit the ball and where the ball ends up! Merely just a suggestion of course! Really enjoy your channel!
Thanks for updating taylormade p790. Which one is better iron set comparing with titleist T200?
Just did a golf fitting and these came out for me. Happy to say that I bought them. Still have to wait 2 months :)
Just bought a P790 udi 2 driving iron and I love it!
I have to tell you Rick, for me it is only about performance. I don't care what the irons look like or if they are clicky. I am 64 years old, an 18 handicap. If the iron is ugly and noisy but I can get a 7 iron to fly 160 yard and straight, I am very very happy.
Great evaluation…honestly ..I trust your critiques more than any other due to your unbiased opinion.
My favorite forgiving iron is what’s in my bag the ping g410. Super forgiving and don’t even look chunky. So if anyone wants a good irons those are fantastic
A note on the brushed chrome: It's less expensive than polished, so it seems like a natural move by manufacturers as they try and find ways to improve the club, while minimizing cost.
The Chrome scratched so easy
I have the 770's and they look exactly the same as these. I have C-Taper $ 130 X in mine. Crazy good clubs with bullet flights.
I still have the 2019 version I love them so much!!!
Heyyyoooooooo first comment!!! Love you Rick!! Shot my lowest score yesterday a 76 at eagle crest (eastern Michigan’s college course) appreciate all the videos you make that have HELPED me tremendously. Keep it up, all love here from Michigan. Damn not first comment my phone bamboozled me lol
Best looking version by far. Great video Rick!
Currently got the 2020 p770 after swapping in my p750s.. p770s don’t feel quite as nice as fully forged p750s but they’ve done such a good job with the progressive forgiveness through the set.. short irons aren’t hot at all and feel solid and the 5 iron is an absolute rocket 🚀 they look incredible too!
I game the 790s. How different would you say the 770s are compared? I love the smaller look. I am a high handicap player though.
@@justinrowe2715 I’ve never compared the p790s so hard to say but looking at the video this years model look more similar to p770s then previous models.. p770s are just have a slightly blade length with less offset and a thinner topline and I believe the lofts are weaker then p790s .. you could definitely combo the two sets! You might had to adjust the lofts where your combo starts but they definitely look good together now!
They look really good. I got fitted for the Ping I500 and now I play with ping clubs but I really wanted to play with Taylormade, their sets of clubs looks so good!
Preordered mine yesterday. Can’t wait to get them.
Just as I was looking for some new irons...just wish my bank account agreed
Love this rick this really makes lock down so much better
I was planning on getting fit for these cause they are so nice but my pockets suggested I go second hand. Got a steal on R11s and am very happy. Still have these in the dream bucket!
I don’t hate them, but if they are louder combined with the fact I personally think my 2019’s look better, I’m glad I didn’t wait when I got fitted last year. Love my P-790’s!!
Taylormade is on a run of making some great irons wow. I brought up the distance inconsistency issue to the taylormade rep when I got fit for my p770's and he said the p790 distance inconsistency is due to the player not the iron. Those who complain that they'll randomly smoke one aren't consistent ball strikers and at that moment caught one off the middle rather than hitting it off the toe or off the heel.
I’ve got a set of these. Got the 2019 version (but bought in 2020). Bought them when I was playing off 26 and now I’m 18. Can safely say have had no problems hitting them!
I'm currently playing the 2019 P790s. Love them.
Hey man. What degree wedges do you carry after your set PW?
@@BuffaloBarber24 I've got the A wedge with the set (50 deg), then I've got a 54 and a 60. The 60 is only really used out of sand or for flop shots.
@@ioneil1808 what’s your lowest set iron ?
@@BuffaloBarber24 5 iron currently. Play a 3 hybrid after that. Interested in getting a 4 iron though
I love the way you mess up and laugh. Oh and that cliff-hanger putt. Brilliant.
Just bought the 2023’s and absolutely loving them. Don’t settle for the 21’s people!
@Pinned: By Rick Shiels Golf what the?
Got fitted for these last week. Hit Cobra’s, T200, Mizuno and Ping and these were by for the best. Just need to wait a few weeks for them to arrive.
How are they?
Thank god these aren’t the best ever because I love my 2017 P790s and I’m not ready to replace them! But my god these are gorgeous!! 😍
Great video, awesome camera quality!
Hey Rick! I love Watching Your Videos!
Rick, I just recently switched over to PXG I just put the Gen 3 0311Ts in the bag and I love them!! What are your thoughts on PXG? If you've got a chance to review them I'd highly recommend it! Cheers mate!🍻
Great look, super forgiving and a brilliant match for a mid handicapper. Gets my vote.
I got fitted for a driver (Epic Max LS) the other day, and the fitter gave me one of these (7 iron) to warm up, and I have to say I was impress by their look, and their feeling of the face. Felt pretty nice and they gave me a "tour" vibe type of irons.
Appreciate the honest work Rick. Breakfast hole for the warmup!
Finding clubs that work for you is so much more difficult that one would think. Thanks for another great review. I have been and am still on the hunt for affordable beginner clubs.
Check out Takomo 101 irons. They are basically P790’s at a fraction of the price (less than $500 for the set).
@@JoeSchmgege1 Thanks for the tip! I will check them out.
Just bought these, can;'t wait for them to arrive!
I think I still might go with Srixon ZX5
Thanks for the review
i have the zx5s. absolutely beautiful clubs 🤌
I hit the prior version of the TaylorMade 790s before I bought PXG 0211 irons (original version). The gel or foam in the hollow irons is the same concept. The feel of a club is truly an individual preference.
Just bought these!! Unfortunately, didn't have the time to get them custom fitted, but I guess I could always retrofit them later on, if needed. Can't wait to hit these bad boys!!!
Totally happy I’m picking these up today
Speaking as someone who dropped 10 shots/round this year, the biggest factor has been that I’m not spraying the ball everywhere. I have a set of mizuno jpx825 irons, and while they look chunky and they’re old, I can keep the ball in front of me. I don’t care if my clubs are cross-eyed and drooling on the floor. I’ll take a poor looking iron over a beautiful bladed iron every time if I know I can keep the ball in front of me.
I did the reverse learn technique. Learnt how to play with blades. When my hdc went down, picked up some ping iblades, went down more and currently using cobra king forged tec blacks. Thinking about these next. Makes it feel like the game is getting easier rather than I'm getting better! 🤣
I'm currently trying this method using Ping S56's, trying to get dialed in then will get something newer and more forgiving :D
@@rybry5080 that's it mate. Made perfect sense to me and seemed to work better than starting with easier ones. The aim is to get down to game improvement Irons and feel like I'm cheating! 🤣
