In our forums, one user is returning to the game after an extended hiatus and is looking for a new set of irons. They’re looking at a number of different options for their iron set and asked the forum to advise.

“Hey everyone, I’ve taken 20 some years off from the game other than 2 times a year for obligations. I finally realized golf is my first true love and I’m jumping back in with both feet. It feels like coming out of a coma with how much equipment has changed. My current clubs are Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scots I bought in 1995. Lol. I have been hitting clubs for a few weeks at random stores and finally did a full fitting today. I’m torn between several clubs and would love any opinions y’all can share. Of the ones I’ve hit I like:

Titleist 620MB
Ping Blueprint -T
Mizuno S-1
Taylor Made P-7MB/TW

“I haven’t been able to hit the TaylorMades anywhere yet. I’m having a hard enough time deciding between the other three. Hopefully tomorrow I think I found a place. Any other I NEED to check out? I don’t like Callaway or Srixon. They don’t feel very thin to me. Thanks everyone! excited to learn from this community.”

Members in the forum chimed in with recommendations, questions, and comments. 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.

• Poor Mans Ty Webb: “Any other blades from the last 20 years you should know about? Brother, how much time and money have you got?”
• SBH9458: “You won’t go wrong with any of those offerings. If you love a blade, then you’re tracking in the right direction. I think important to consider a few more things since you’ve narrowed it down… what shafts are you looking at and what results are they giving you? And what swingweights generate the feel you’re after to get those results? Good luck and man enjoy the journey. What a great time to jump back in!”
• grochol17: “Definitely need to include the Wilson MBs. They are usually pretty forgiving for a blade because of the way they drill out the head at the shaft (like they are making a bore through design) which allows them to move that mass out towards the toe, bringing up the MOI.”

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @Jaws2525 is selling a TaylorMade Spider GT putter that was made in collaboration with the streetwear brand KITH.

From the listing:

“Taylormade KITH Spider GT. 35 inches. Stock black KBS shaft, KITH grip and headcover. Brand new never used, was sitting in storage since the release. $725 shipped.”

The season has progressed since I came out of winter and wrote my last WITB. My last iteration drew on ideas from winter tinkering and brought them into the course. With results less than desired and more learning. I reverted to some things I had in the bag from the last few years, and after a recent club fitting at Titleist TPI, a few things have changed!

For the first time, I am playing all one brand in my bag. That stems from playing Titleist wedges and a Scotty Cameron putter for years. But the latest additions are the Titleist GTS 4 driver, GTS 3-wood, and GTS 7-wood. Adding an additional option of a 2-iron, depending on the course setup as well.

I also have switched to Titleist T100 irons from 4-iron to pitching wedge, and learned the previous set was a little more over length than I needed. So, back to standard-length irons for me. The irons provided up to 7 yards of coverage when not struck in the sweet spot, which was important to me. For the putter, as a predominant Futura 6M user since 2018, I gravitated toward the Phantom 5, which offered a similar look but with fewer lines and weights. I just wanted to simplify while keeping the putter’s foundation the same. The putter sits square as well.

This stems from learning in my fitting that I was matching all of the peak heights of 100-110 feet. Driver through wedges. My woods have the new Fujikura Ventus Black TR with Velocore +. I have found more stability with this model. I don’t have the driver tipped like the previous version of the TR I played. It is a stout lineup of shafts that fits my swing. Now I am learning I can really give it a full swing instead of the guided cut shot swing I play from time to time, which isn’t ideal. Full confidence to swing it!
