Your dream irons? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been talking about their dream irons. WRXer ‘Texas_Golfer’ asks what irons would be in the bag if money were no object, and our members have been detailing their ideal setup in our forums.

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.

nitram: “Bridgestone J40 Blades.”
jomatty: “Right now I’m coveting a set of the Callaway TCB’s. A set of the black Miura CB 301’s would be amazing as well. I doubt either one of them would be any better for me than my Apex Pro 19’s though.”
RolandofGildead: “Ben Hogan Icons, black DBM finish, with black onyx Dynamic Gold S400. Remove all paint fill except sunburst and iron #. Unfortunately I know myself and my game, and playing those would be too frustrating.”
BStrong1313: “Probably the original Nike blades or the Vapor pro Mmproto’s. Those were sleek. I’m playing z945’s now in my short irons, and those have always been on my bucket list.”
14max: “I want Eye2s with modern grooves, reduced offset, stronger lofts, and a multitude of shaft options. That’s not too much to ask…”

Jason Day on his recent switch into Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 MK II irons

Over the past year, equipment free agent Jason Day has played a number of different iron sets looking for his right match.

In May 2023, he was using a TaylorMade P770 4-iron to go along with a set of P7MC irons (5-PW).

In August 2023, he had switched to a set of TaylorMade P7TW irons (5-PW) to go with his P770 4-iron.

Then, in February 2024, he was into a full set of P760 irons (4-PW).

Now, Day has switched it all the way up, and he’s currently using a new set of Srixon ZX5 MK II long irons (3 and 4), and Srixon ZX7 MK II mid-to-short irons (5-PW).

On Tuesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Day told GolfWRX.com that he made the switch before the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, because he was looking to reduce spin.

“For me, they spin a little bit less,” Day said. “They’re very good out of fairway bunkers, too. I haven’t played too much in the rough yet, so I still need to get an understanding of how the come out of the rough, but for me, it was all about spin control.”

“I had tested the previous model to these [Srixon ZX7’s], but I only had one club. And I was getting some inconsistent spinny with my previous irons, so I just decided to at least give them another shot. My biggest thing was to take spin off, because I was spinning it like crazy.”

The Srixon ZX7 MK II irons are known for producing low spin numbers, and pairing them with Day’s typical ultra-stiff True Temper X7 shafts make them certified spin killers.

If it’s spin he wanted to reduce, then Day may have found his match with the new Srixon irons.
