Welcome back to the channel and today we thought we’d end 2023 reviews with a bit of controversy by doing our driving iron review the top number one will be something that maybe you weren’t expecting so guys if you like our videos please hit that subscribe button and tell all your golfing Friends so the driving iron category one that’s become more and more popular as players look for something a little bit more forgiving to hit in their longer irons and we see guys use five iron down and maybe want to use a driving now in

The old days a driving iron used to be a one iron or a two iron or it used to be a utility iron and it used to have no Loft and go out like a rocket and a worm killer and it used to be Dreadful now

You can get them in two three four iron lofts and they’re still called driving irons which is a bit bizarre to me but it is what it is but the lots of brands are making them they are very successful um they are hugely helpful in a in

Scenario because you can get guys just bumping into that 4 iron um or three iron where they don’t want to necessarily go into a hybrid or a fairway wood um and you give them something a little bit easier to hit which is great so what are our top three

Well got them all here and I’m going to I’m going to throw a little one into the mix in third place now I’m not sure you’re going to like this but I’ve gone with the Ping crossover so adjustable which has been a big Plus for us being

Able to tweak it we talked about this in other videos where you have more adjustability in this kind of part of the bag to dial in The Loft the eye crossover not one of Ping’s go-to irons you know it’s not something they shout about a lot but it has been hugely

Successful this year it’s been a very good iron personally I don’t like the black finish I don’t like the black heads on clubs anyway I can get away with it in a wedge but a struggle with irons but overall performance on this thing has been absolutely superb in

Number number two though is the tight List u505 released this year in their T-Series irons range just a brilliant iron it’s a replacement of the u500 before works well performs well big chunky bulbas pops it up in the air we’ve had an argument with our titless

Rep to say does it work he says yes I say I can’t stand the look of it it looks like an ugly duckling but he’s right it does work so we’ll get the data on that but in number one and this is the bit of controversy because I’ve left out one of

The big boys here and I’ve gone straight into a number one as the shrien ZX driving iron affordability has been superb feel is insane and performance is Second To None So this overall has been an absolute winner it goes under the radar because they don’t spend enough

Money folus on it in my opinion but when you blend it in with the ZX7 range or the zx4 r range or the Z x 5 range any of range actually I don’t know why I just named all the irons then this one is a real success so let’s get into

Trackman let’s get on the bay and let’s see how these go so driving irons Chris has let me warm up for this one which has been fantastic so eye crossover it’s been a success this year good shaft options in there um sits nicely nice little bit of offset

On it as well which has been good helps you get that ball up in the air and square the face up I think it’s interesting because g430 with its 4 iron has been very successful as well so maybe the 4 iron that I’ve got in my hand hasn’t sold as much but

The three iron equivalent definitely has um what’s nice about the eye crossover is you do get a nice launch to it so one of the things to look out for on a driving iron and I think this is where the confusion sometimes comes is that people are expecting a driving iron to

Come out really low and flat actually you want your driving iron just to go up in the air pop up in the air and let’s let’s be honest they’re not driving irons anymore they’re utility irons so that Hollow head that kind of you can hear it it’s a it’s not the normal ping

Clicky or solidness that you’d expect from an iron but it performs well and good news for me is that it’s consistent with everything else I hit which it goes miles right there she goes do I always do question when we do these videos whether Chris has set track man up correctly

Because i’ never seen to find the middle anyway there’s pink eye crossover very successful iron decent prize Point u505 came out middle of the year it performs but my word when you put this down I can’t stand the look of it absolutely just it’s got a shovel on the

Back just I just don’t like it I guess this is why though TI List have been very smart this year they’ve been very clever cuz they’ve give you this iron to help you pop it up and Smash It and performance I can’t argue with it it it works it’s absolutely superb however I

Get why some players won’t like the look of this what looks like a triangle on the back of the head hence why they brought out the the revamp T200 driveing iron as well which has been very very popular um works very well with the guys that like t150 so but

Again Mass Market going to work for more players one u505 is is definitely the one sounds brilliant though doesn’t it it sounds so good looks so ugly sounds so good I mean that’s not the one I it’s gone right yeah solid good spin rates on this as well so you feel comfortable hitting

This into a green there we go you can save it with a hand hands Alan you can save it with the hands one more I think that’s the beauty with this club is that it’s so forgiving someone has hits it as bad as I’ve hit it there

I mean there’s 90 yards between the first one and the last one go on Chris bring it up cuz I know you really want to there it is like if you’re my forom partner you don’t know which a fair way to walk down do you absolutely no idea

Right on to the one that I think is the best this year and I think it’s performed well and price point absolutely insane um I think we’ve done a review of this before of these driving irons and we’ve definitely done a review of the Shri and so what I’ll get Chris

To do because I think this Blends very well into the shrs and irons is you’ll pop the video into the comments box below this of the shcks and reviews because I think if you watch them you’ll see how the the ZX driving Lon fits really nicely with that it’s been great

To put this into our build Center this year as well so making sure that we can build this product has been absolutely superb for us we really should do a review we really I mean how good was that by the way look at the launch of that this so good this

Is maybe I need to speak to our friendly rep Carl and see if I can get one for 2024 but if you I think we need to do an episode in build where we get to talk to Rob about which clubs he likes building the most cuz he loves for some reason he

Loves building tricks there she is little fat one up doing my head in I just like the launch of this club no come on okay one more pretty solid there we go it’s a good one to finish with so there we go guys driving irons 2023 thought this might be this might be

A bit controversial if you’ve bought a driving iron and you love it and it’s not in the top three it’ be great to know what it is um I’ve gone with my top three of the crossover from ping I crossover from ping the u55 from tit in second place

But my winner this year is the shrien ZX driving IR not just for performance but based on the feel and also the price as well so it’s a super super iron hope you enjoyed that hope that was useful remember driving irons aren’t just about hitting it bullet low off of the te

They’re going to help you into greens as well and positional play so you want to make sure you get irons that give you the right flight and the right land angle to stop the golf ball on the green so if you’ve enjoyed that video hope that was helpful please make sure you

Write in the comments below anything about this video that you agree with disagree with anything you’ve bought that you’ve seen that would be great we will try and comment on all of the comments in in the channel as well Chris will get on to that I hope that’s been useful if you’ve

  1. I just bought t150s. I didnt hit the 3 iron off the tee. Off the mat it was about 200 carry at 19 degrees. If i can get over 220 off the tee, i think that will be good enough for a driving iron.
