I just bought the Hot Metals. I’m a high handicap. I played a round today. And what a confidence booster these clubs are. I was able to make good contact and actually get the ball into the air. Great job Mizuno.
I’ve been playing with Mizuno JPX 800 HD for more than 10 years. During the Beginning of the Pandemic when work was slow to none, I’ve been playing a lot of golf starting with 18 handicap to now 4.5. Just bought a used set 4-PW with stiff graphite and played about 3 rounds with them. First look was a bit intimidating but when you hit flush, man nothing feels like a mizuno!! Love my JPX 919 Tour.
Great combo review Rick! Really like having all 3 in just one easily digestible video. I’m a huge fan of Mizuno and they’ve done another great job on the 919 range. Technology/help combined with looks & great feel...what’s not to love? The JPX Tours are insanely good looking. I tested the 900 Tours (just for fun) and actually found them to be slightly less forgiving than even the MP-18 Blades.
Great video. I just purchased the JPX 919 hot metal irons. As someone coming back into the game due to injury, it was worth chasing forgiveness. The ease that I could hit these irons, with a very rusty swing, was amazing. What I didn't expect was that within just 2 weeks of using them and with one lesson with my local pro, my swing recovered and have more confidence than ever. I agreed with your evaluation, and the logic applies even for a high handicapper, hoping to get back to their old handicap.
I've gotta say, the tours and forged look fantastic. After seeing the results though, pretty tough to not seriously consider the hot metal irons even if you're a low to mid handicapper. Extra forgiveness and feel, faster ball speeds, increased spin, and comparable launch angle to the others. Seems like there's a lot to love there for a so called "game improvement iron" for a few hundred dollars less. Great video Rick!
Hey Rick, could you maybe do a test review between portable launch monitors? For example the SC100, SC200, ES14, ES 16 and the Flightcope MeVo? #1KCLUB
I have a combo set of the first two models, long irons are a little big in the back but they fly terrific! These are the best irons iv'e ever played, they got more distance.. I hit my 7 iron as far as a 6 and it's launched up in the air with velocity like a 9 iron. Great clubs
I have watched your videos over a number of years and I have to say they are the best on the web. You get all the new gear and your video editing and productions are snappy and superbly put together.
I have the JPX EZ forged in the bag and couldn't be happier. Rob Potter's review inspired me to give them a try, and I'm really glad I did. I am now a Mizuno fan. Put them in the bag Rick, you won't be disappointed.
I'm a high handicapper (picked up golf during covid and weekend warrior) with average shoot off of about 103 - i recently purchased the Tours after having Wilson V6's and i mostly hit these well. The forgiveness was good even for me and when you hit that sweet spot you get great feedback! So that being said, im not sure if the tours vs forged vs hotmetal makes that much of a difference but i havent used the others but thats just my experience.
I play Mizuno. Nothing feels like a Mizuno Not ready to upgrade just yet but you are tempting me. Nice review. I would go for the tour in my short irons and the forged for the long irons.
I really appreciate the review I just found your channel a couple weeks ago and I love it. I'm getting fitted for irons in a couple of weeks and these really interest me. We keep the videos coming thanks!
As someone who plays with his dads 80s-90s hand me down clubs, I could only dream of having a set like those. All of those irons are gorgeous, and yet another great review. Quick question: have you thought of doing a video comparing clone clubs with the closest brand name equivalent? Would love to see that comparison. #1KCLUB
Thanks Rick for this review. I have been considering the hot metal version as i am a high handicap senior golfer. You are the Best at producing these videos.
Just got the jpx919 forged after a fitting... basically tried all major brands and these are just perfekt. With a nice Kbs Tour c-taper lite 110 s shaft. Great feel and amazing distance. Can’t wait for them to arrive
I had my first ever club fitting today at Bearwood Lakes and WOW it was one of the best things ive ever done Ive been playing Titleist AP2 712 for past 4 years and been struggling with distance and control so decided to consider JPX 919 - Lets just say I ended up buying JPX forged straight after the fitting My Titleist 7i carry was 145 yards - The JPX 169yard carry! :)
I tested the 919 forged when I purchased my new irons and they were amazing!! However, I tested the Mizuno MP20 too. One word........WOW!! Nothing feels like a Mizuno!!
Got fitted today and tried a number of different models (Cobra F8, Talyor Made, Mizuno, Calaway, and PXG). Loved how the Mizuno PXG 919 Forged felt and the way it delivered. It really did look really nice. Even the miss hits really did carry and flew very nicely. I liked them so much that I decided to order the new irons (5-PW). The Cobra Fly-Z's that I bought off the shelf didn't stand a chance.
I play last season version of the hotmetal. I've had blades until putting these in my bag and they have definately helped with my distance. The 919 here though look a lot more chunky than last season version 990. I also like the blue ribbon on my version as well. But as always Mizuno makes the best irons of all time --- many tour pros without contract (Brooks) play this brand.
I have the forged iron set. I love them. Range does kind’ve fall off a bit from 7-5 for me but the forgiveness in them as opposed to the hot metals or tours are worth losing an extra 10-15 yards for, for my game at least. Definitely recommend.
Just got custom fit for these Rick- gone for hot metal ; didn’t think I’d end up with mizuno pre fitting session but delighted with the testing I did and looking forward to gaining some yards this year , should have the clubs in 3 weeks- first time getting custom fit and can see now why you recommend it in all your videos, gone for an even stronger 4 iron so basically a 3 iron
Absolutely superb review. As a lefty I am beyond intrigued to test a move from my "retro loft" MP59 34° 7 iron into today's "modern loft" 32° JPX 919 forged.
I received my jpx 919 hot metel pro irons today and im really happy with them there my first ever brand new set custom fitted to me and the fit and Finnish is stunning
Just got 4-PW Hot Metal yesterday, can't wait to test them out today! Your video convinced me to buy them as I just started playing golf half a year ago and was looking for some decent irons for higher handicaps :)
Rick is great at reviewing equipment! I am a 1.5 handicap and am looking for new irons and got a lot out of this vid. Think I'm gonna go for the blades
Brought the hot metal and I love them. I'm a 14 handicap golfer and they're perfect for my standard of golf. First set of mizuno's I've ever owned, hopefully won't be th last
I picked up a set of jpx 919 hot metals on sale and found an st200 driver for $150 brand new in wrapper I am loving my Mizunos. I went from mid-90s to finishing up last weekend with a personal best 87.
Look fantastic. The previous JPX-900 range was great. I have the JPX-900 Hot Metals with SR graphite shafts - perfect. 23 degrees 5 iron is a bit aggressive but at least the 45 degrees PW is not offensive - can still manage with 3 other wedges. With TaylorMade and Callaway now you may need two Gap wedges.
Just did my Mizuno fitting for irons today! After hitting 6 different heads using 9 different shafts, it came down to the MP20 or the 919 Tour...! I chose the 919 Tour with Nippon Modus shaft! To be honest, I was surprised at how good I hit the MP20 but the Tour won out! Thanks for all that you do to help us make qualified decisions on our clubs! Kudos to you for helping us enjoy & play better golf & have F-U-N...!! Chuck Urwin
Love the review. I’m currently gaming the JPX 900 Hot Metal that are by far the longest, most forgiving and best feeling Game Improvement Irons I’ve ever hit and I’ve hit them all. Don’t know what I’m going to do lol. Keep up the good work Rick!
Definitely one of the best looking Mizuno irons I’ve ever seen! I hope you’re gonna do a video of the new Apex Pro irons from Callaway they looking extremely gorgeous too, just like the legacy irons.
Had a fitting done today looking for a set of irons (started out playing 2 months ago with a cheap second hand set). Settled on the Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal 4 - SW steel irons. Nothing feels like a Mizuno.
Good review, they look great, will give the forged a try. There does seem to be a lot of overlap with the MP18 range. Forged > MMC & Tour > SC. A direct comparison between these clubs to help us understand the differences would be a great follow on for you to do. It is a little confusing to understand what the differences are. Thanks.
Great review on what are, gorgeous looking irons! I love my Ping irons and now wish I'd tried Mizuno. Got to be happy with what you've got.... 'there's always something better...'
great review, Rick. the JPX 900 Forged were one of the sets on my wishlist, but now maybe it'll be the 919s. all three are beautiful, but i think i like the Forged the best. i'm going for a club fitting in a couple of weeks, so i'm looking forward to trying the 919s...
Went to club champion, was fitted with the mizuno hot metal , picked up 10-13+ yards per club, luv them , even my mishits are not as severe as it was with my pings well worth the money.
I purchased the Jpx 900 hot metals two weeks ago and love them. I am sure the 919s will preform the same. I like the looks of the 900 over the 919s. Mizuno is on fire with their irons.
Okay, very nice review, I'm going to add my two cents worth and I feel what I'm going to mention is very important. I'm a senior golfer, I've played this great game for the better part of fifty years. I'm a member of a very nice golf club in British Columbia and I play off a nine handicap. About a year ago I spent some excellent time with a professional golf fitter at GolfTec. I wanted new irons but I wanted the best of the best fitted for me and only me.I had already decided that I would go with Mizuno so now we had to decide on which model. My fitter's biggest concern was not as much the model as to the correct shaft and how right he was. Of course the head design / material etc. is important but matching those elements to the best properly fitted shaft is of primary importance. The shaft we came up with was the UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 the two irons that we tested was the JPX forged and the JPX " Hot Metal ". I hit about fifty balls with each iron both fitted with the above mentioned shaft and I honestly couldn't distinguish one from the other.In any event we felt the Hot Metal model would be a bit more forgiving and that's what I went with ( 5 iron to gap wedge ). I put them into play in March ,,, they are in all my years the best feeling iron I have ever played ,,, absolutely solid. Easily a good club longer than my Ping i3's, any of you out there contemplating new irons for the 2019 season the Mizuno irons are as good as it gets but remember how all important a good quality shaft is.
Wish they’d make the lofts of the Forged the same as the Tour. I contemplated getting a mixed set when I bought my JPX 900 Tours, but I wanted standard lofts and the Forged fudges their lofts and has no 3 iron because of it. I’m fine with a complete set of Tours, but it would have been nice to have had the option of sticking a more cavity back Forged iron in my bag for the 3 and 4 iron.
Tried all 3 of the irons on GC2 also. Loved the feel of forged tour irons. The spin on was a little low for my liking though. I hit the 6 iron and was getting around 5k rpm or less. Cannot wait to get the whole demo set in to check them out though.
Great work with the time stamp, no messing 👍🏻 have watched loads of your videos and only just realised I hadn't subscribed! That is now sorted. Keep up the great work 👏🏻
Hi Rick, the chromoly term is the actual steel they use. The steel is alloyed with chromium and molybdenum which makes the steel harder and more durable.

The nicest has to be the 919 tour Rick . Nothing looks or feels like a Mizuno . #1KCLUB
I love the look of the tour, very slim looking and I love it
Sexy!!!!!! You too Rick!
Always look forward to the videos - even more the comments.
I just bought the Hot Metals. I’m a high handicap. I played a round today. And what a confidence booster these clubs are. I was able to make good contact and actually get the ball into the air. Great job Mizuno.
did they help reduce your score at all?

I’d love for you to do a quick review of the new 919 Hot Metal Pro irons from Mizuno.. thanks for the great video!
Hey Rick, can you do a test between the Mizuno jpx 919 forged vs Taylormade 790?
Thanks!
Hey Rick, could you maybe do a test review between portable launch monitors? For example the SC100, SC200, ES14, ES 16 and the Flightcope MeVo? #1KCLUB
would love to see this
me too
I just got skytrak so add that one to the list
Agreed, would love to see reviews on launch monitors. Ideally consumer based, not the $20,000 trackman. #1KCLUB
The JPX 919 Forged looks pretty good! Great video man!
Love the look of the JPX 919 forged. Been playing with Mizuno clubs for a little over a year now and I absolutely love the quality of their products.
Fantastic looking clubs! Can't wait to try them out... Leaning toward the "Forged"
Just got my Forged in! Absolutely love them! Great video! Definitely helped with my decision to chose these irons!
Mizuno have always made a sexy iron! So excited about these
TheWeekendGolfer I don’t even need knew irons but I’m so tempted to get these. Insanely sexy irons. Even the hot metals
I have a combo set of the first two models, long irons are a little big in the back but they fly terrific! These are the best irons iv'e ever played, they got more distance.. I hit my 7 iron as far as a 6 and it's launched up in the air with velocity like a 9 iron. Great clubs
They look fantastic.
My next set of irons when I hit my hcap target.
Amazing production Rick. This really sets the standard for this type of video. Great content, great format, great graphics. Very well done, sir!
Great vid rick watching your videos are one of the best parts of my day.
Thanks so much Drew, glad you are enjoying the channel!
I have watched your videos over a number of years and I have to say they are the best on the web. You get all the new gear and your video editing and productions are snappy and superbly put together.
Thanks so much!!! 👍👍
They all look brilliant but the hot metals I like the performance and looks
im purchasing a tour/forged combo set and bending them essentially to the hot metal lofts hahaha
What handicap are u?
Charlie Bower 20
I have the JPX EZ forged in the bag and couldn't be happier. Rob Potter's review inspired me to give them a try, and I'm really glad I did. I am now a Mizuno fan. Put them in the bag Rick, you won't be disappointed.
I love my mizuno’s. Playing the mp5, still own the mp32 and tzoid true.
Also, great review!
I'm a high handicapper (picked up golf during covid and weekend warrior) with average shoot off of about 103 - i recently purchased the Tours after having Wilson V6's and i mostly hit these well. The forgiveness was good even for me and when you hit that sweet spot you get great feedback! So that being said, im not sure if the tours vs forged vs hotmetal makes that much of a difference but i havent used the others but thats just my experience.
Top video and great review. I love the look of the forged irons. I currently have jpx 900 forged. Definitely need to have a swing of these though.
Same with me, Adam! But honestly I doubt they'll improve our game compared to the 900 forged. But hell, they look great... :)
If you want to get rid of the 900’s I promise they’ll have a loving home here 😂😂
I have the MP18-SC and I LOVE them. That being said, my heart sank when i saw how beautiful these look.
I play Mizuno. Nothing feels like a Mizuno
Not ready to upgrade just yet but you are tempting me.
Nice review.
I would go for the tour in my short irons and the forged for the long irons.
What do they feel like? I hit them and don’t notice any different feel? The sound is different, but that’s about it.
That’s what I was thinking in my irons, but maybe I would get the mp 18 mmc’s in the longer irons
Mil Sneler for me when you hit them out of the centre they feel silky smooth.
That is true for all irons that I have tried. do you know of any that feel terrible when hit dead centre?
Mil Sneler I still think that there’s a quality that Mizuno have that’s not found in other blade. Blind testing needed. Lol.
MP-15s still one of my favorites in terms of looks, forgiveness and performance. Love the chrome finish vs the satin look.
#1 RUclips golf channel. PERIOD.
THANK YOU! 👍
so true
The 919 tour look like they should be framed and placed on the mantle.
gorgeous irons
Agreeed!

Thanks Rick for this review.
I have been considering the hot metal version as i am a high handicap senior golfer.
You are the Best at producing these videos.
I want to trade my ap2’s for the forged ones 😭😭
Just got the jpx919 forged after a fitting... basically tried all major brands and these are just perfekt. With a nice Kbs Tour c-taper lite 110 s shaft. Great feel and amazing distance. Can’t wait for them to arrive
Oh man I’m drooling.. the tour look so so so nice, but the forged definitely has my eye. Awesome vid rick! #1kclub
Thanks Tyler!!!
Hey Rick awesome review yet again. I really like the time stamp so I can skip bits I’m loving the tour version for looks
#1KCLUB
The 919 Tour look incredible, but still think the 900's beat it in terms of looks...
is there any better golf equipment reviewer on YT... I dont think so. Rick is the man when it comes to giving in depth, non-biased reviews! Great vid!
#1KCLUB a combo set between the forged and tour seems like something that would be right up my alley
What iron combo did you go with?
^^
I had my first ever club fitting today at Bearwood Lakes and WOW it was one of the best things ive ever done
Ive been playing Titleist AP2 712 for past 4 years and been struggling with distance and control so decided to consider JPX 919 - Lets just say I ended up buying JPX forged straight after the fitting
My Titleist 7i carry was 145 yards - The JPX 169yard carry! :)
I tested the 919 forged when I purchased my new irons and they were amazing!! However, I tested the Mizuno MP20 too. One word........WOW!! Nothing feels like a Mizuno!!
Things of beauty! Can't wait to try out the Hot Metal vs forged.
Just built my combo set ... 4-6 forced 7-PW in Tour all with c-taper lite X shafts... I’m in love!
Got fitted today and tried a number of different models (Cobra F8, Talyor Made, Mizuno, Calaway, and PXG). Loved how the Mizuno PXG 919 Forged felt and the way it delivered. It really did look really nice. Even the miss hits really did carry and flew very nicely. I liked them so much that I decided to order the new irons (5-PW). The Cobra Fly-Z's that I bought off the shelf didn't stand a chance.
Great video Rick, getting my step dads hand me down mizuno’s next week as he’s just upgraded- can’t wait to try that ‘unrivalled feel’
I play last season version of the hotmetal. I've had blades until putting these in my bag and they have definately helped with my distance. The 919 here though look a lot more chunky than last season version 990. I also like the blue ribbon on my version as well. But as always Mizuno makes the best irons of all time --- many tour pros without contract (Brooks) play this brand.
I have the forged iron set. I love them. Range does kind’ve fall off a bit from 7-5 for me but the forgiveness in them as opposed to the hot metals or tours are worth losing an extra 10-15 yards for, for my game at least. Definitely recommend.
Just got custom fit for these Rick- gone for hot metal ; didn’t think I’d end up with mizuno pre fitting session but delighted with the testing I did and looking forward to gaining some yards this year , should have the clubs in 3 weeks- first time getting custom fit and can see now why you recommend it in all your videos, gone for an even stronger 4 iron so basically a 3 iron
Absolutely superb review. As a lefty I am beyond intrigued to test a move from my "retro loft" MP59 34° 7 iron into today's "modern loft" 32° JPX 919 forged.
Rick really nice touch adding in the times for each model review - very customer focused. Top man👍
Great review Rick and I agree, the clubs look great. How about a comparison between the MIZUNO JPX919 Forged and the Ping i210?
Looking forward to testing the forged and tour irons when they're released to the public.
Currently have the jpx900 hot metal irons but absolutely love the look of the new 919 forged irons. Great video Rick
I received my jpx 919 hot metel pro irons today and im really happy with them there my first ever brand new set custom fitted to me and the fit and Finnish is stunning
Not long found your channel Rick, your videos are very slick. Wouldn't buy anything now without checking your reviews first! 👍🏻
Awesome video. The forged look absolutely amazing. Mizuno has knocked it out the park again.
Just got 4-PW Hot Metal yesterday, can't wait to test them out today! Your video convinced me to buy them as I just started playing golf half a year ago and was looking for some decent irons for higher handicaps :)
Thanks Rick, great video once again. I agree, these clubs look amazing! I can’t wait to test them soon...
Rick is great at reviewing equipment! I am a 1.5 handicap and am looking for new irons and got a lot out of this vid. Think I'm gonna go for the blades
Got a set of the jpx919 tours....had a hole in one in my first round with them. Fair to say I love them!
Love the look of the tour but I would probably go for the forged irons
These looks amazing. Makes me consider chopping in my 900 forged for them!!!
Good review, Rick! Love the technical details and precision.
Hey thanks for the help on my irons. My scores fell dramatically with your help
Brought the hot metal and I love them. I'm a 14 handicap golfer and they're perfect for my standard of golf. First set of mizuno's I've ever owned, hopefully won't be th last
A: Love the look of the Forged irons, need to give those a swing!
I picked up a set of jpx 919 hot metals on sale and found an st200 driver for $150 brand new in wrapper I am loving my Mizunos. I went from mid-90s to finishing up last weekend with a personal best 87.
Look fantastic. The previous JPX-900 range was great. I have the JPX-900 Hot Metals with SR graphite shafts - perfect. 23 degrees 5 iron is a bit aggressive but at least the 45 degrees PW is not offensive - can still manage with 3 other wedges. With TaylorMade and Callaway now you may need two Gap wedges.
InstaSQD.... really enjoy the content of the channel, keep up the good work Rick
Best golf channel i've seen so far. My handicapp is so high that i stop counting. Which one should i get?
Just did my Mizuno fitting for irons today! After hitting 6 different heads using 9 different shafts, it came down to the MP20 or the 919 Tour...! I chose the 919 Tour with Nippon Modus shaft! To be honest, I was surprised at how good I hit the MP20 but the Tour won out! Thanks for all that you do to help us make qualified decisions on our clubs! Kudos to you for helping us enjoy & play better golf & have F-U-N...!! Chuck Urwin
Love the review. I’m currently gaming the JPX 900 Hot Metal that are by far the longest, most forgiving and best feeling Game Improvement Irons I’ve ever hit and I’ve hit them all. Don’t know what I’m going to do lol. Keep up the good work Rick!
Definitely one of the best looking Mizuno irons I’ve ever seen!
I hope you’re gonna do a video of the new Apex Pro irons from Callaway they looking extremely gorgeous too, just like the legacy irons.
I like the JPX919 TOUR the most.
My first set of blades were MP32’s. Loved those clubs!
Timestamps are a great touch and elevate your production value. Videos keep getting better and better.
Thats probably the best Review i have ever seen 👍 i am not interested in those irons but i could not stop watching.
Good job 🤙
Great job on the break down of the clubs Rick . Thank you
Really amazing looking clubs all sets, there really is a lot of competition with nice irons on the market just now. Great review Rick
Rick I love my two year old set of Hot Metals they still look amazing and continue to deliver great shots.
Had a fitting done today looking for a set of irons (started out playing 2 months ago with a cheap second hand set). Settled on the Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal 4 - SW steel irons. Nothing feels like a Mizuno.
Love the forged 919, AP3, P790, love them all, couldn’t pick one, which you prefer please Rick? Thanks!
Good review, they look great, will give the forged a try. There does seem to be a lot of overlap with the MP18 range. Forged > MMC & Tour > SC. A direct comparison between these clubs to help us understand the differences would be a great follow on for you to do. It is a little confusing to understand what the differences are. Thanks.
Excellent review as always Rick. Really liking the look of the forged irons.
Great review on what are, gorgeous looking irons! I love my Ping irons and now wish I'd tried Mizuno. Got to be happy with what you've got.... 'there's always something better...'
Excellent video, love the time time stamping on the multiple iron reviews.
Thanks Jon!
Thanks for the review. I have the current hot metals which I love, but oh this is tempting! They are all gorgeous looking 😍
great review, Rick. the JPX 900 Forged were one of the sets on my wishlist, but now maybe it'll be the 919s. all three are beautiful, but i think i like the Forged the best. i'm going for a club fitting in a couple of weeks, so i'm looking forward to trying the 919s...
Went to club champion, was fitted with the mizuno hot metal , picked up 10-13+ yards per club, luv them , even my mishits are not as severe as it was with my pings well worth the money.
I purchased the Jpx 900 hot metals two weeks ago and love them. I am sure the 919s will preform the same. I like the looks of the 900 over the 919s. Mizuno is on fire with their irons.
Okay, very nice review, I'm going to add my two cents worth and I feel what I'm going to mention is very important. I'm a senior golfer, I've played this great game for the better part of fifty years. I'm a member of a very nice golf club in British Columbia and I play off a nine handicap. About a year ago I spent some excellent time with a professional golf fitter at GolfTec. I wanted new irons but I wanted the best of the best fitted for me and only me.I had already decided that I would go with Mizuno so now we had to decide on which model. My fitter's biggest concern was not as much the model as to the correct shaft and how right he was. Of course the head design / material etc. is important but matching those elements to the best properly fitted shaft is of primary importance. The shaft we came up with was the UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 the two irons that we tested was the JPX forged and the JPX " Hot Metal ". I hit about fifty balls with each iron both fitted with the above mentioned shaft and I honestly couldn't distinguish one from the other.In any event we felt the Hot Metal model would be a bit more forgiving and that's what I went with ( 5 iron to gap wedge ). I put them into play in March ,,, they are in all my years the best feeling iron I have ever played ,,, absolutely solid. Easily a good club longer than my Ping i3's, any of you out there contemplating new irons for the 2019 season the Mizuno irons are as good as it gets but remember how all important a good quality shaft is.
Great video, I've been waiting for this video ever since they leaked the photo. I'll be ordering mine soon! Keep the videos coming Rick!
Wish they’d make the lofts of the Forged the same as the Tour.
I contemplated getting a mixed set when I bought my JPX 900 Tours, but I wanted standard lofts and the Forged fudges their lofts and has no 3 iron because of it.
I’m fine with a complete set of Tours, but it would have been nice to have had the option of sticking a more cavity back Forged iron in my bag for the 3 and 4 iron.
Hey Rick, really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!!!
Tried all 3 of the irons on GC2 also. Loved the feel of forged tour irons. The spin on was a little low for my liking though. I hit the 6 iron and was getting around 5k rpm or less. Cannot wait to get the whole demo set in to check them out though.
Very cool of you to time stamp the reviews.
Great work with the time stamp, no messing 👍🏻 have watched loads of your videos and only just realised I hadn't subscribed! That is now sorted. Keep up the great work 👏🏻
Thanks Frank! Appreciate your support.
Thanks Rick, great reviews. On looks alone, I lean toward the Forged. As you suggested, I think a blended set is the way to go.
THANKS Rick.
Very well laid out, well thought out review. 101%
Hi Rick, the chromoly term is the actual steel they use. The steel is alloyed with chromium and molybdenum which makes the steel harder and more durable.
