Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from i*windows who asked fellow GolfWRX members what set of irons gave or continue to provide the most enjoyment while out on the course. There are a whole host of irons mentioned, from different club-making eras too, with the unique feel the irons give the individual often making the difference.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion at the link below and have your say.

  • TheInfidel: “Just put a set of 900 Forged in the bag with ProjX LX 6.5s – WOW.  Different class of ball flight.  Crazy forgiving
  • craz-e: “My first set of blades the Mizuno MP68’s. They gave me a greater enjoyment in hitting golf shots and a greater love for the game in general.
  • jar59: “Best scoring clubs, best clubs in the wind and best feeling sweet spot were my 985 Tourney Customs with reverse muscleback and rounded toe.  I played them in 2 thru pw (10) from 1976 thru 1981
  • BCULAW: “Ping S56 with Your Issue S400 soft stepped twice, purple dot at +1.  I would never have guessed the specs would work in a million years,  but these were the absolute best feeling and performing irons I have ever hit. Pure joy to play.
  • mogc60: “Probably owned 50 sets of irons in my life and absolutely without question, the best irons I ever played were MacGregor VFoil M25 blades with Satin ProjectX 6.5. Most consistent, best feeling, best ball flight.

    Ping i25 with the Ping CFS stuff shaft. Still have the Eye-2 Gorge lob wedge that I got at the same time. Regret trading those now.

      That’s how you would rate a woman… not a golf club… unless yer a jerk0ff gearhead

    In tennis, it’s the strings that are the performance factor and the frame only holds the strings. In golf, the clubhead only impacts the ball for 0.0005 seconds while the shaft affects the swing action. Ignorant golf and tennis players think it’s the club and frame that gives enjoyment… because of the colors and shapes. Oh well, as long as it sells equipment.

      Droop, kick, torque so much more important for consistency, accuracy and enjoyment all derive from the shaft, not the clubhead.

      $150+ for each iron , with a $30.00 shaft with a fancy paint job, is a con game.

        Shaft dynamics is too complex for the gearhead brainlet… the back of the clubhead is all that matters. It’s love at first sight for these gearhead jerk0ffs.

    A really beautiful set of clubs in every way – Adams A4 Forged PX 6.0 shafts (as pictured), getting ready to give them to my son (hard to part with, but they were only my travel set). However, shot my lowest round (74) ever with Tommy Armour 845s. Honestly the closest set of irons to the A4s, are my current gamers – PXG 0811s with NS Pro Modus3 105 shafts that I purchased through the PXG for Heroes Program last month.

    Mizuno MX 17. First set of irons I had that weren’t hand me downs from the 80’s. I legitimately gained 20 yards on every club over the Par Champs I had in the bag before those. Took my game to another level and made me enjoy golf 100x more.

    Ping Eye 2+, hands down best set ever, got them out of the closet this year, re-gripped them and they are in my bag. Easy to hit and feel great!

      PING ZING2… hottest heads ever… straight flight only… no draw or fade because of the extreme head weighting.

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.

One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:

“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.

Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”

And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
  • otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech.  He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly.  Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy.  He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for.  There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind.  World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
  • konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.
