The irons GolfWRXers with a 5-10 handicap are playing
In our forums, WRXer ‘bvan’ created a thread dedicated to the irons fellow members who possess a handicap in the 5 to 10 range are using. ‘Bvan’ kicks off the discussion saying “I’m a solid 9 and I’m using 712 AP2s”, and our members have been discussing their clubs and why they work for them in the thread.
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.
- jah7838: “I play Ben Hogan PTx Pros in 5-PW with DGTI s400. The V sole works really well for my swing. They are very forgiving and easy to flight when I need to. I also have the 4 iron that I like, but I’m trying to find the right shaft to help me elevate it properly. I have a Tour Concept shaft coming in from eBay I’m going to try out this weekend if it arrives in time for me to reshaft it. I’ve had my 23* Adams Super 9031 with a s300 shaft as my 4 iron for the past 6 years or so…I honestly don’t remember how long I’ve had it, but it’s been in my bag the longest out of all my clubs.”
- Neurotica: “PING G410s for me. 9.4 index and trending down.”
- tigercolt77: “I’m a 5.4 and I am now playing the Taylormade p790 after years of playing Combo sets of blades and CB’s or just CB’s. I have Project X LZ 6.0 shafts in the irons. I have the lofts weakened a bit, and they honestly make the game easier for me. I figured why make it harder by playing an iron that doesn’t help on my miss-hits?”
- CousinDonuts: “I’ve had a 7 at the start of my number for a bit. Been hitting Taylormade M1s since the summer of 2017. 4-PW plus 54* SW. Also have 50* and 58* Vokey wedges. I don’t overly try to work the ball, so these M1s suffice. They create a pretty high flight, even with the mid-kick shafts I have. If I remember correctly, my final 3 included the Calloway Apex and Mizuno JPX900.”
- uglande: “Mizuno MP-20 and have never been happier. (Talk to me in September).”
- scooterhd2: “Currently a 7-8 and trending down. Playing Cobra S3 irons from 2011. My first and only set of irons, but I am about to make a change.”
- Bambabowtie: “JPX 825 Pro for now. Looking to upgrade to something new once this is all over.”

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.

About a 5.6 handicap with the new scoring but probably closer to an actual 9 handicap. Use Wilson C300 irons KBS Tour shafts love the control I get with these easy to shape. Use to hit Mizuno jpx 919 forged but honestly I do not see the point in hitting forged irons. They are less forgiving, see my point in less forgiving… I don’t see the point, if you find the right irons for you then you can shape shots regardless of being forged or not.
