Irons for a long-hitting 15 handicapper? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

May 31, 2022

In our forums, our members have been discussing irons. WRXer ’06VistaGT’ is looking for club suggestions for his improving friend, saying:

“Distance is not an issue, as 7 iron is his 185 club. Shallow swing, with a med-high flight.

He was thinking P790, but the fitter already suggested they may be too hot for him. I am pretty sure he will end up in x-flex shafts, but not sure what irons make sense to try out. The fitter will obviously make recommendations, but I have found it good to have some ideas before going.

Looking for input/suggestions. Thanks!”

And our members have been sharing their best picks in our forum.

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.

MattM87: “Being similar to your buddy, I’d probably say he may be put into a Srixon combo set mainly with the ZX7 irons. Reason being they are easy to hit, and if the fitter is trying to avoid big miss-hits then these would be ideal since the fitter is pushing away from the P790, which are stupid long if you have speed. Maybe Rogue ST Pro or Apex and Apex Pro combo set. Honestly it’s a weird spot to be in, not quite good to go into the more compact irons but too fast for game improvement/distance irons. But sounds like the fitter already knows what to try if he’s avoiding the P790s.”
Nessism: “First off, he should narrow down the search based on head size. P790’s would be fine, assuming he strikes it well enough to find the center of the face. Honestly, way too much is made about “hot” faces. Unless the guy’s handicap is under 5, and even if it is, hot faces are rarely a problem.”
Cactus Jack: “Having gone through a similar experience, I would not limit clubs based upon 7/6 iron distance. I suggest he finds a set he loves, like the P790, and fit based on full set composition. For example, his 7i isn’t a 7i; it simply becomes his 185 club. Building from there, he might only need/want a 6i as his longest club and could toss in some wedges or something in the top of the bag. Thinking/fitting this way makes everything on the rack playable…you just need to creatively fill the gaps.”
gridironesq: “JPX forged is a great choice OP considering his shallow angle.”
