I play the PXG 0311P Gen 6 and could not be happier with the look, distance, accuracy, and forgiveness.
I like control so the first things I look at are descent angle, spin rate and peak height. My eye is immediately drawn to the P790, the Yonex (big surprise), Srixon (low spin but descent angle and peak height make a compelling case) and T200.
Yonex is not the nicest looking club, but I have played Yonex in the past, not sure I would pick them.
Srixon is a great looking iron, I would definitely try them. As always difficult to go wrong with the P790s or T200s
Put the Srixon in my bag and love them. Feel great, you would think the face was forged. Great review.
I was gonna go with p790’s but I tried the Mizuno Pro 245 and they were amazing. They are in my bag now
Would you recommend this category for low spin players?
T150?
Thank you Simon and Neil! Your presentations are always informative and helpful. Based on your testing I'm going to test the Srixon ZX5 MKII, TaylorMade P790, Wilson Dynapwer Forged and the Ping i530. If you plan to test the Ping i530, it would be really great if you could drop the results into the tables you've created for this video. Thanks again.
Pxg gen 6 are my favorite irons. Thought there are so many great players distance irons
Hi, is there a reason that there is such a large difference between the results of last year's test and this year's? For example the P790 is 13 yards shorter this year compared to 2023.
Hi guys!! I know the Pro 245
7 iron, 6 iron and down are equally as forgiving as the P790, i530 and T200. My question is,since Mizuno takes away all of the tungsten in the 8 iron through wedge, is it still equally as forgiving as the P790, i530 and T200 in the 8 iron and down? I know the P790 drops the tungsten in the 8 iron and down too. I am not sure when the i530 and T200 drop their tungsten? I am just curious if the Pro 245 becomes a little bit more of better ball strikers iron on the 8 iron and down vs P790, i530 and T200.
Thank you, Joe
One thing that nobody tested is the specs , my last Mizuno set was terrible on lofts and swingweight , my new P790 set is correctly made from factory.
Will be nice to know if the quality test is going better like the price is going up.
