Whoa. I’m just speechless with these irons. Just speechless. Seriously….

So I see them in the the Golfmart today while my tires are getting changed. Saw them last night in Golf Digest and just had to try them. I’ve been lusting after the PING Anser irons for quite some time, but wanted to try them on a whim.

Looks: THESE are what an iron looks like. Whoa. While I love my Diablo Forged immensely, these irons are just so simple and pure at setup. The transition from hosel to face is so so smooth, and seamless. Just the right amount of offset, even in the PW! And I’ve never been a fan of the Mizzy PW, but these are slick. I just can’t believe how pleasing these are to my eye. Wow!

Feel: okay, so I’ve been a convert to forged for quite sometime. My Diablo Forged have converted me. Really. And while the Anser’s and AP2’s are kinda a soft thud, I’m finding a hard time finding the correct words to describethe feel of these. The word “pure” can be so overused these days, but it’s accurate assertion for these. Dang. Even with my least favorite shaft, the DGS 300’s, the feel is amazing. Mizzy is on to SOMETHING with these.

Dispersion: well. These won hands down. On the LM, I could put a blanket over my shots. 4 iron, 6-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron. Didnt matter. Just such a tight dispersion. Wow.

Distance: since I hit them on a LM, won’t go into details, but let ms say I was impressed. Very impressed.

All in all, I’m thoroughly impressed. I want to use the Mizzy iron fitter to get the correct shaft, although heck, I may just go with the DGS300’s.

I’ll take pics soon as a comparion with others.

WOW!!!

These Mizzy’s are so clean. I’m still fighting the demon in me that decided to go with the 53’s rather than the 59’s. I’m an intermediate player that shoots anywhere from 84-92. I did hit the 53’s better consistantly but like look/workability better of the 59’s. Any suggestions if you think the 59’s would be a good fit for me to switch to? Or are they really a “players” club?

I have tried these in the store as well and was very impressed. I have played Mizunos for a number of years and can’t seem to get away from them. I need new irons like the proverbial hole in the head, but these have created a serious itch.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

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.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

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
