Today from the Forums we take a look at a discussion on irons amongst 10+ handicappers. Our members discuss the irons they use to help them get the best out of their game and the reasons why they plumped for the type of irons they did.

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.

luckypolk: “Titleist 718 AP1. Kind of wish I would’ve gone with the AP3s or Srixon Z585s at the time. Definitely getting new sticks this year. Waiting for the Ping G410 replacements, new Srixon line, and new Mizuno JPX line. Will test those along with Cobra King Forged Tec and probably Titleist T200. I do like a longer blade length since my miss is toe side. Not too picky about top line or offset. I do need some forgiveness though and need to keep good spin because I’m a low launch player. Not really looking for distance. Launch, spin, and dispersion will decide my new set.”
Marco Colo: “Currently playing in high 15 and playing CB with a lot of satisfaction from January. Came from GI irons.”
agolf1: “Above 10 I would play GI/SGI. But I would also play GI/SGI down to at least 5. Contrary to popular belief, most double digits HCs do not have a consistent swing (whether different clubs make a material difference in the shots is up for debate). I also think some of this depends on swing speed and what type of height you can get out of more traditional or players irons.”
hagimihale: “Play to about a 15 at the moment. Currently playing MP-54, was gaming JPX 825 Pro before that. I guess you’d classify the 54s as a cross between muscleback and slight cavityback. I don’t do well with GI irons, too much offset for me. Added a sweet set of MP-32s off of BST this year to play around with. I like knowing when (and how) I miss it, and golf is less about score and more about the feel of a flushed shot to me.”
Jard: “13’ish right now but have been on a steady drop the last few years – broke 90 for the first time two years ago and 80 for the first time last year. I got fitted into Z585s at the start of last season but now I’m eying the Z785s for scoring clubs.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
