I purchased these irons at a SIGNIFICANT discount after watching this video and I am not disappointed. I've been playing Adams Blue irons and the Nike Vapor Pro Combos irons are just so much nicer to hit. I don't know if it is because they are forged or that they are less of a game improvement club, but they are just buttery smooth. The feel off the face is just amazing and I don't have to worry about over drawing/hooking the ball because they aren't as draw biased as the Adams Blue irons. I've also gained some distance because I'm not launching the ball as high anymore. With the Adams I was launching the ball ridiculously high. I'm now carrying my 7 iron about 165 yards and my 5 iron about 190 yards. I've gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 yards. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for the great videos, but please do something about Rob's facial hair. Cheers!
Kevin Vieira ?
Jonna Mikanda yes?
Bought an ex demo set of these to replace my ap2 712s. Really nice clubs. Often overlooked now they are off the scene in the club world.
Nice review guys.Rob,your swing is not indicative of a 13 handicapper.Tried these irons today and was very impressed.
Love the video rick! Love how you bring Rob on to help high handi-cappers relate. Very nice to see Rob give his opinions on clubs that I would think to try out myself. Especially when I'm not on Rick's skill level. Great vid
You hit the Nike iron very well Rob. Very consistently. Good shot dispersion. I demoed an older set of Pro Combo's a few years ago at a demo day, and I was impressed. A lot easier to hit than I expected.
I only watch Robs videos because I think he represents a more average golfer like myself
Just seeing Rob and Rick going on about Slazenger reminded me I have a Slazenger Jack Nicklaus PW and has the claret jug and champion written on it!
I’d like to know who fitted Rob for those trousers.
Rob love the reviews. Keep at it. Also fun to watch you guys play in the challenges.
I really enjoy this series, even though I am happy with my irons (MP69s). I am amazed and impressed how well he does on camera (swing and presentation skills). No offense implied by that statement. I'm playing to a 16 now because I'm working on a few things but your tips, and Pete's, and my instruction is getting me back on my path to single digits again.
Keep Rob on. His opinion's are as valid as any decent golfer's and it's fun to see a gnome in sports wear. Please get him some tanning sessions instead of range time. Your camera can't cope with the contrast. It sunspots constantly.
I burn like a Scottish Ginger buddy lmao.
How do they compare to the previous series of VR pro combos?
I have a set of these on order after my custom fit! Lovely clubs, look great, feel great and consistent distance. I concur with your view Rick that their isn't a better looking iron out there at the moment. I appear to be one of the few that actually likes the volt colour. Big fan because it stands out!
Just picked up a 3 iron of these, going that budget finau route, brand new for about $100
I'm looking for a high trajectory and from watching Ricks video of the callaway XR, those seem to be good for it, but again, the pro combos are so appealing
I'm also a 13hcp looking to get to single digits and am also very interested at this iron. For some reason it just looked good in the pro shop, weight and topline was just right. Have yet to hit it. I also consider RSi2 and AP2 714's.
Those irons are gorgeous.
Nice one rob, good to get your feedback on the irons and other videos also. This helps as I'm off 10 at the moment so I can relate. Thanks also Rick! 😃
Very good ball striking Rob.
rob, I'm looking to get a new set of irons. kve narrowed it down to the Nike pro combos and the callaway XR. I don't know what my handicap is, but I'm just getting back into golf. any suggestions? I feel like the XR would be best for me because they seem to fit my skill level, but I think the pro combos are beautiful and I like how think they are compared to the XR. any input would be great, thank you
Those that are having a go at Rob are well out of order. Smack of the elitist element of golf, 'he's 'only' a 13 handicapper so what does she know'. Rob is giving an opinion (and he has an opinion, fair play to him for that) based on the the average golfer. The majority of irons Rick tests are not really aimed at a golfer of his quality. It's all very well Rick hitting a 6 iron nearly 200 yards and claiming it has magic juice. But in reality, if the vast majority of golfers think they will hit the same 6 iron 200 yards they are deluded.
Rob will give an alternative view of what the clubs will do, and I would argue, much more realistic view of what these clubs will do for the vast majority of golfers. Yes it's great seeing Rick smack a driver over 300 yards. But it's also very informative seeing what an average golfer (actually Rob is better than average with a 13 handicap) can do as well.
Rob, elitist haters are going to hate, you carry on mate, you and Rick are making some great videos here.
I really appreciate your thoughts there Nicholas.
Very good ball striking Robert, you don't need any extra distance, the dispersion was tighter, than on any test i have seen by Rick,Crossfield or FInchy.
liam f bloody hell....that's a big claim lol. Thanks!
Hmmm watch some of the other videos coming up. You'll see I'm a 13hcp needing a bit more distance.
I don't wanna do a "Hulk". I want back my 150yd carry with a 7 Iron like I has. With the better accuracy I have now, it'll come good. I know it will.
Thanks for your view buddy.
Nicholas Johnson Could not agree more! (it' s a little late I know) but Rob's reviews often do help me a little more than Rick's when looking for clubs because I am at a similar level.
Really like all your stuff Rick.
And I really like having Rob on as he is golfer like me so it's actually really valuable seeing what he can do rather than watching you crush shots all the time (although that's fun too)!
Wonder if there's any plans for Rob to hit fairways or hybrids as this is what I'm in the market for.
Especially interested as my driver SS is about 90 mph and I have a generally low ball flight.
Thanks guys.. Keep up the great vids
Whit which shaft and which iron you test the pro combos?? Thanks
I looked in the comments below but didn't see the answer. Was he hitting the S300 or R300 shaft? Great videos by the way!
What sort of ball do you use when testing? I ask because I play a Srixon 333 ball and would wonder if that would be comparable with what you are using?
Great Video! Love the testing with a 13 Handicap. Rob should also try out the Wilson Staff C100 or the D200.
Awesome review! I'm looking a new set of irons in a couple of weeks, and I'll be trying these out along with the AP2s and RSi2s :)
Keep up the good work rob your reviews r great ignore the negative comments. Please review the ping g30 and karsten irons. I am 10 handicap trying to get back to single figures again so would like to c how u get on with them. Keep swinging for all us average jobs out there Andy
Rob, what shaft were you using, what's your normal shaft flex ?
G'day from Sydney, Australia Robert Potter ! I have been watching several of these videos now in an attempt to choose a new set of irons for myself. I am also a 13hc at the moment but have been steadily dropping shots over the past 12 months in the quest for single figures. I have Taylor CB irons at the moment which I have had for about 3-4 years and now have my sights set on Nike Vapor Combos, Taylor Rsi2 or Srixon 745s - which would you go with? Have you hit the srixons at all?
If I heard right you are a 13 handicap yet only hitting a 7 iron 132 yards? Just curious here because I'm about to purchase new irons and really like the VF combo and VF pro. I consistently shoot 88-91 but I hit a 7 iron 160-170. Im only 5'8 160 pounds
+Josh Clem (Toxic Garage) In the video he says he was in a bad accident 10 years ago and can't hit as far
+andrewdoyle88 oh ok. I missed that part.
Carry distance or how far you hit a ball is completely irrelevant to your handicap.
Hoping the new Srixon Z line is in the testing line up. Would like to know what Rob thinks of the 545's.
What flex is that? The DG Pro R300 or S300?
+robert potter nice swing mate can't wait to see more tests. I really like your insight on some of these clubs. I'm an 11 handicapper so it definitely helps!!!!!!
just subbed to your channel
Rob, if you had to pick 1 set of clubs to buy (with your own money) which set of the sets tested would you put in your bag?
Jon Zentgraf
The man needs the XR Pro's.
Rick is there any chance you can review the Adams xtd forged iron because I've just bought a set and was really surprised when I hit them just wanted to know what you think about them.
Thought you would like those better. Stuff distance, Nike never bothers about distance on its better irons they like to promote accuracy, look at how accurate you hit those. i found that really impressive. If you like them and hate the colour, then its only a single swoosh and Humbroil make nice little tins of paint. 5mins with a brush and solvent rag you can have any colour you like. Yeh I hate Volte too ;-)
They just come out with ridiculous name for colours! I wanna bring out a club with Mauve as it's main colour lol
Robert Potter Just wait 8 months when Nike replace Vapor with the Ozone range in the stunning "stratosphere" colour. Weight will be moved towards the heel as it seems Tiger couldnt hit it out of the toe after all ;-)
Lol
Robert Potter Vici Martynov Volt is Nike's new adopted colour scheme which is spread across their whole brand! I love it personally :)
I quite like the colour, it's striking. But it's the RIDICULOUS garbage names companies come out with. It's as stupid as Mauve lol
Is Rob wearing Ricks pants? he's standing on half of them.....
what are your thoughts on the wilson reflex set of clubs the irons hybrids driver woods and putter. I am a beginner looking to upgrade in the future.
These are really good videos but i cant stop thinking that Rob sounds like Hayley Cropper!
Callaway XR pros maybe for this guy?
Rob, I'm off to see your mates down at the TMPC Belfry soon do you prefer these to the RSI2s?
Rob---in your Taylormade Aeroburner driver video you were carrying 250 and total 270. Was that a 1-time thing, or have you kept it in the bag?
Good question. I was was wondering the same thing.
I took a demo out (after watching the video) and broke my distance record on the two par 4s I was walking when practicing at my local course. But when I got it wrong it was big wrong. Still really liked it and have been toying with replacing my SLDR with one ever since.
Work I have done on the range has been decent with it so far.
It's still a long club though on miss hits, so that may prove interesting on the course
I really liked the feel of the club (9.5 loft with regular shaft) and have been seriously entertaining the thought of getting one ever since using it. I look forward to finding out how it works for you on the course.
7 iron 140 yards????
Do you test the titleist ap2 and ap1 at all..
Rick Shiels PGA do you get the clubs to test for free or do you pay something?
Please put in the description the club you are actually using .. I gather it is 7.....
Classy. Nice work.
You could just use some paint and color the branding any color you want Rob..
Next the 850 please Roberto
Bloody hell he's had a shave.
He needs to find more distance if he wants to lower that handicap. If he got that 7i from 135 to 150 he'd lower his cap 2 shots. Cuz he hits it pretty straight
See i had the distance but sprayed it before the accident happened 9 years ago today, to be precise.
I had to work on my accuracy and knowing that at the time of my rehab i couldnt do much/any gym work at all. This really put me back. My Hcp suffered due a casting problem which came about in the eternal search for a better swing. A Coach tried to get me doing Stack & Tilt, which proved a massive mistake coz it went away from everything i have ever done. From being coached that, the STUPID swing fault came in. I was 11Hcp and on the way down. I was getting scores in the high 70's and shot my best gross of 75 at Leyland G.C. in 2008.
The Stack & Tilt was to put Distance & Accuracy together.
Failed!
So its took me ever since to find a cure for the casting, and the scores have got consistently higher. I nearly jacked it in as I was sick of feeling I wasn't getting anywhere and felt frustrated. I decided to concentrate on being a Caddie, which to be fair has been great when I have had the chance.
With Rick and what we have worked on, I have a new love for this beautiful game again and I am getting myself back into the gym to get my flexibility and core strength back. It's my "Quest to get past the Ladies Tee" lol
Robert Potter Ah i didn't know that. I really think there's a iron/shaft combo out there that can get you a few extra easy yards. Check out the mizuno 850 forged. Keep up the good work and keep hittin em straight!. Improvement is the most addicting part of this game! Cheers from texas
TXchadTX cheers dude! Appreciate the support.
Well I got some extra distance with shaft and head technology with the TaylorMade Aeroburner on an extensive test on drivers. Take a look at it buddy.
Thanks again (from cold Cumbria, UK on a night shift)
Love these videos!
The tony stark gotee lol
Great video Rick and rob but I must say the argument/ verbal assault/ WW3 that's going on below your caption is miiiiiiiiiles better 😂😂😂
lol rick, you seemed annoyed haha Like you were trying to rush Rob in these last two videos.. Still great video and review! cheers
I dig the Tony Stark goatee. 😉
He's a bandit if he's still playing of 13 IMO
Rob keep up the good work I see some jealous comments on here. No disrespect to Rick but he's not representative of most of us average golfers. Nice to see the average Joe or Rob(in your case) hit clubs and review them for our benefit. I know karate, all that Daniel son, wax on wax off shit, so anymore grief and I will sort them out, if I can get off the couch that is, lol
Brill mate. Love it!
Slazanger probably have as many major wins as taylormade Rick! You need to take some history lessons about the game we love big lad :D
wilson staff as the most major wins with 61. but don't see any video reviews of them
Not to take away from the review, love the honesty Dobby; but please hem the pants.
Been done now. As I say, I didn't get time too before hand lol
Rob looks a little like Victor Dubuisson in this video
has a cat licked his face or something hahaha
How tall is Rob?
3' 6"
I'm curious why no one ever brings up the price when they review clubs? Are reviewers told not to?
No mate. Nothing is said concerning us mentioning RRP.
I know with The Callaway Big Bertha review I did a few months back, I mentioned the price in that vid.
It's just something that hasn't I think both of us just haven't mentioned. Apologies there.
Rick can I have these irons please!
Rob needs shorter trousers
I really enjoy the reviews with you Rob. Would love to see a what's in the bag with you mate:) #DobbysBeard
Guessing with irons that are made to be long and forgiving?
What was meant by this comment?
Cornwall.. I'm not entirely stupid so yes I do get that .. I just think it's boring and rick does not hit 330 yard drives!!
Don't like it, don't watch it or come back. Your comments don't help.
Thanks Benjamin .. If you don't like my comments then ignore them!! Simple as that really!
More posting so Rob and Rick know we like em. Also if you feel like it isn't the best why don't you do your own reviews? Didn't you say something about you being an excellent golfer? Let's see your skills.
You in the drugs? I never once said i as an excellent golfer.. I'm pretty sure rick and rob need someone like you to warn off the people who don't like the video. Please don't reply to me you are wasting my time by having to reply. Bye
Have you had them pants fitted ?? Hope not
Looooong
Sadly I'm a 29" inside leg, and Costco only go to 30". They were fresh of the coat hanger so didn't have chance to take them up.
#verticallychallenged
Robert Potter the same as me with the 29-30" inseam but I am 6'1"
Too much offset
I agree with all the other comments about this guy. I am not interested in what he says, his handicap is worse than mine. Get him off !!!!!
I couldn't hear anything either of you said. i was more focused on that god awful facial hair you're rocking.
Are they speaking English?
He's hitting a 7 iron 135-150 yards ? Really like that's horrible & his handicap is 13
Watch a couple more vids you'll see why he's not long
+Devlin Mcphee he's been in an accident, he can't generate the same speed everyone else can. Also, speed is not relative to handicap... I'm sure a professional such as yourself knows this, right?
150 yards with a 7 is perfectly fine.
