Please provide the last three sets of irons you have owned and rank them highest to lowest. Here are mine:

1 - Titleist 804 OS
2 - Ping Eye 2
3 - Ping Zings (the worst clubs I have ever owned)

1 - Nike Forged Blades
2 - Ping I3 Black dot
3 - Titleist 804 OS

MizzouJames - just curious. What were your impressions of the Titleist 804 OS. Did you not like the offset?

That was exactly the reason I didnt like it. I was hitting everything way left and the 3 and 4 irons were a little heavy for me. My Nike 3 & 4 irons feel better balanced. Don't get me wrong, the 804's were very easy to hit but just weren't for me.

1. Mizuno T-zoid Pro's.

The only set of irons I have ever owned besides junior irons, but I like them alot. Not the most forgiving irons, but it's helping me with my swing to know when I hit it bad since I have a lot of improving to do. (16 handicap)

1 - Ping Zing2
2 - Ping Zing
3 - Ping I3
Notwithstanding acndog's experience, I've loved the Zings and Zing2s. Now, if you want to talk about which clubs looked ugliest on first inspection.... I tried the Zings based on a friend's recommendation. They were hideous on #1 tee, looking okay by hole #9, and absolutely beautiful walking up to the last green. The I3s were pretty good, but the head was a little small for my tastes. Handicap 2

1. Titliest 735.CM
2. Taylor Made RAC HT


i've only had my 735s for a few days and am yet to play a round with them, but they inspire confidence everytime i set up with them (only hit Almost Golf balls with them so far). the HT's were good club that helped my game improve quite a bit. they just launched the ball way too high, i seemed to lose 1-2 clubs distance because of the constant ballooning shots. i owned several other sets growing up, Ping, Taylor Made, Wilson. but it's been so long since i've hit the others that i really can't remember too many specifics about them.

1. 1971 Wilson Staff Buttonbacks
2. Titleist 690 mb
3. Taylormade 300's

Of the three the Wilson's are by far the best. The 690's were too hard feeling, and the Taylormade's were just plain awful.

1. Mizuno mx23
2/3. Ping Eye2, Callaway X-12

I like the Mizuno's a lot, but wish I'd kept the Eye 2's around as a spare set.

By far thge best set I've owned are the Combo's. I still have the 845's and I traded the Wilsons in at Golf Town.

1. Nike Pro Combo

2.Tommy Armour 845 stripes

3.Wilson Deep Red

1. Nike Pro Combo
2. Ben Hogan Apex Plus
3. Wilson Who Knows

The Wilson's were my first serious set. I put them on eBay with no takers. I'm taking them to Golfsmith to trade in along with my Callaway Steelhead woods. The Hogan's felt nice - my first forged irons. They were too heavy for me though. The Nikes are good, but I wish they made a lefty set of all blades. I'd like to keep the longer irons a bit lower. Not an easy thing to do with a cavity back.

mizzoujames did you go straight from the 804s to the blades? if you did what handicap were you when you made the switch? i am in kind of the same boat in that im playin the ping i3+ irons and i hit the ball a mile high. im thinkin of going to the rac lt or the callaway xtour for less offset and to get the ball lower.

1. Mizuno MP-32's
2. Taylor Made 360 XD's

No comparrison whatsoever.

I went from the 804's to the I3's and I played those for about a month before those got traded in for the Nike Blades so yea I kinda went right into blades. To tell you the truth I was hitting the ball pretty badly and I doubted my choice at the time. Now I'm glad I made this switch as my game has improved alot. I was about a 12 hcp at the time.
