The irons GolfWRXers with a 5-10 handicap are playing
In our forums, WRXer ‘bvan’ created a thread dedicated to the irons fellow members who possess a handicap in the 5 to 10 range are using. ‘Bvan’ kicks off the discussion saying “I’m a solid 9 and I’m using 712 AP2s”, and our members have been discussing their clubs and why they work for them in the thread.
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.
- jah7838: “I play Ben Hogan PTx Pros in 5-PW with DGTI s400. The V sole works really well for my swing. They are very forgiving and easy to flight when I need to. I also have the 4 iron that I like, but I’m trying to find the right shaft to help me elevate it properly. I have a Tour Concept shaft coming in from eBay I’m going to try out this weekend if it arrives in time for me to reshaft it. I’ve had my 23* Adams Super 9031 with a s300 shaft as my 4 iron for the past 6 years or so…I honestly don’t remember how long I’ve had it, but it’s been in my bag the longest out of all my clubs.”
- Neurotica: “PING G410s for me. 9.4 index and trending down.”
- tigercolt77: “I’m a 5.4 and I am now playing the Taylormade p790 after years of playing Combo sets of blades and CB’s or just CB’s. I have Project X LZ 6.0 shafts in the irons. I have the lofts weakened a bit, and they honestly make the game easier for me. I figured why make it harder by playing an iron that doesn’t help on my miss-hits?”
- CousinDonuts: “I’ve had a 7 at the start of my number for a bit. Been hitting Taylormade M1s since the summer of 2017. 4-PW plus 54* SW. Also have 50* and 58* Vokey wedges. I don’t overly try to work the ball, so these M1s suffice. They create a pretty high flight, even with the mid-kick shafts I have. If I remember correctly, my final 3 included the Calloway Apex and Mizuno JPX900.”
- uglande: “Mizuno MP-20 and have never been happier. (Talk to me in September).”
- scooterhd2: “Currently a 7-8 and trending down. Playing Cobra S3 irons from 2011. My first and only set of irons, but I am about to make a change.”
- Bambabowtie: “JPX 825 Pro for now. Looking to upgrade to something new once this is all over.”

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

About a 5.6 handicap with the new scoring but probably closer to an actual 9 handicap. Use Wilson C300 irons KBS Tour shafts love the control I get with these easy to shape. Use to hit Mizuno jpx 919 forged but honestly I do not see the point in hitting forged irons. They are less forgiving, see my point in less forgiving… I don’t see the point, if you find the right irons for you then you can shape shots regardless of being forged or not.
