What GolfWRXers are saying about the best blade-like players CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing blade-like players cavity back irons. WRXer ‘mufasis’ is on the hunt for new irons and asks members for their favorite choices of blade-like players CB irons, and WRXers have been having their say 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.

  • craz-e: “Titleist CB’s always have a great look at address, this year the t100 also looks like a blade at address. Worthy mention goes to the Wilson Staff V6, which looks and feels great.”
  • Bigjim1022: “Can’t go wrong with the 785’s. Bought a set at the beginning of the year after having my first real iron fitting. All I can say is wow, great feel and look. Equally forgiving as the 210s which I played last year. Lots of info on this site about them too. Plus they offer any almost any shaft (except graphite I believe) as a ni charge upgrade.”
  • SylvesterLundgren: “I know it’s dated, but the Nike VR forged pro combo, the top lines are thin, square, and compact. They have an almost blade appearance at address.”
  • wam78: “For what you are describing I think the 620 CB and cobra CB are the closest looking cavity that resembles a blade. Both small footprint heel to toe with thin top lines and minimal offset. I have not hit the 620 CB yet, but they look incredible! Also, I think the 620 CB sole design is just about perfect.”
  • Albatross71: “if you are thinking of a change I would highly recommend the MP-20 HMB, I currently play the MP-18’s and when I was on vacation had a chance to pay the MP-20 HMBS. Just have to say if I had the cash I would buy a set right now, they were amazing.”

    Can’t miss with the Wilson FG Tour V6. They haven’t been updated in 4 years because they don’t need to be.

      They have an update coming soon. Really excited to see what they came up with because I love what Wilson is doing lately.

Why Wesley Bryan is playing two 4-irons this week

Published

on

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article. 

…Flash forward to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2024 at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, and Bryan is still playing with a mixed Takomo set, except he’s added a new 101 U 4-iron, plus a Titleist T200 4-iron, and he’s dropping his 5-iron.

That bears repeating: Bryan is switching to an iron setup that consists of two 4-irons and no 5-iron.

On paper, that looks wrong, but when you look at yardage gapping instead of the number on the sole of the iron, things start to make more sense.

As Bryan explained to GolfWRX.com on Tuesday in Texas, his Takomo 301 CB 6-iron goes about 195-200 yards. Then, his new hollow-bodied Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which he recently started testing “a couple weeks ago” and bent about 2 degrees weak, goes about 220 yards, and the Titleist T200 4-iron goes about 235 yards.

Speaking on his new Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which sells for $119, Bryan had this to say:

“It’s super forgiving and launches high, and it has a bit longer of a profile to where it looks really good,” said Bryan. “If people are willing to play something that doesn’t have an expensive price tag on their club…[I started testing it] in the last couple weeks and it’s in the bag.

“I just made it like 2 degrees weaker. Basically that gap from 205 to 225 I was in a little bit of a dead space, so I’m going to try and fill that gap better.”

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject 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.

  • Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
  • RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
  • YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
  • golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”
