New Irons Tested

I’m in the market for new irons. The following irons I tested outside on a range, indoors on GC quad, and indoors at another location on TM. Any guesses on what I went with?
Cobra King Tour
Mizuno Pro 243
New Level 623 CB
Ping i230
PXG 0317T
Srixon ZX7 MKII
Taylormade P7MC
Titleist T150
Wilson Staff Model CB
This was a long process. I rarely change irons but my 9, 7, and 4 are getting worn. So it was time for a change. Last irons I got were 3 years ago and I go to the range twice a week and play once or twice on the weekend.
I’m not a fan of Callaway’s iron shape, so they were excluded. I couldn’t get a Miura to test. Distance wasn’t a factor in choosing unless it was noticeably short (which none were). All I care about is the feel, how it frames the ball, tech, and shaft offerings.

The Cobras. I had the previous generation of those King Tours and they are still my backup set.

They were all extremely close. Some came down to looks. The Cobra king Tour was the shocking one of the test. It was very very good. The Mizunos seemed to jump every so often. New Levels were very good. Great looking iron. The Pings looked great. The Pearl finish and the tech are great. The offset in the long irons tho. Top line is thickish too. The PXGs were meh. Nothing special. The Taylormades were good but jumpy as well. T150’s prolly tied for 2nd. All around great iron. The Wilson was good, but the shaft I want is an upcharge. The Srixon was the winner. Looks great. Feels great. Plenty of tech. I got the ZX5 in the 4 iron as well, blends perfectly. It could have very was have been T150 with a T200 4 iron tho. Both were neck and neck

Ping i230
I believe the i530’s are about to drop.
So if you like the i230’s, you might can get them at a slightly lower price after the i530 drop.

I knew it. Who did your fitting? I’m looking to get new irons this Summer. Probably go Ping for driver/woods. I’m done with TM.

I did my own. I hit everything a ton. I know what shaft I like too. So I got the same one, I just soft stepped it once to help with the slightly lower launch lower spin I was getting from the Srixons.
The reason I did my own because at the end of the day if I’m not totally sold on if I like it, regardless of what an expert says, I won’t hit it as well.

I can’t overstate enough how shockingly good the Cobra was. It felt awesome and looked the part. After I decided and ordered the srixons, out of curiosity I went and searched review videos of the Cobras on YT just to see if my findings were unique just to me. They weren’t. I couldn’t find one negative review. Ppl rave about them.

Should have waited and added the Ping Blueprint S into that mix before deciding..
