What characteristics do you look for in an iron?

3For me, it must provide instant feedback on where I struck the ball, and must provide some features to help me with my miss (chunks). Aesthetics play a little part but mostly the offset. I prefer minimal offset.

on 1/8/23 at 8:14 am to TaderSaladMinimal offset, high toe, thin top line.
I’ve played blades from high school, and most of my adult life. First cavity back irons for me were Titleist 695CBs. Now, I can’t give up my Callaway forged Apex irons. I prefer a certain look at address, and I need workability, and I get both.

I'm not a blade guy, but I still want a clean look and not see anything on the back.

on 1/8/23 at 9:28 am to TaderSaladLittle offset and thin top line. But mostly I’m focused on feel. I want to know when I flush it and that soft spot. I like knowing even when I’m a little off and being able to tell exactly where without looking at the face.

on 1/8/23 at 9:51 am to TaderSaladI like my irons like I like my women.
Black, pretty face, and a thick backside

Similar to the way I like my coffee, hot, black, & strong…
I love my Apex irons I have the first run of them. The cf16s, I'm going to set them down this year and give the Mizuno 225's a shot with the steel fiber graphite shaft. Just wave try something different. I really like the feedback they give

Turf interaction
This is why I can’t get away from Srixon. Haven’t hit a chunk in over a year with that v-sole. Use to be 2x a round.

on 1/8/23 at 6:16 pm to TaderSaladWhich Srixon’s do you play?

I started with the z585 but too much offset for me. Was tugging stuff left. The 7’s fixed that right up. Very forgiving irons, and instant feedback on where I hit it on the face.

on 1/9/23 at 6:36 am to TaderSaladThanks for the info! Ive heard some guys swear by them; never heard anything bad about them. I've been undecided between the newer ones they have ZX's.

I'm going to give the new X5's a good look this year.
I'm hoping that they have more shaft offerings this year.

on 1/10/23 at 4:52 am to bopper50I think people need to try the 7 line. If you can hit a ping i210, you’ll be able to hit the Srixon 7 line. The 5’s remind me of the Ping G25 that I use to dig trenches with.
I read a lot of reviews and typically play a cycle or 2 behind. Got a 5-pw for $300 and was a no brainer. These will be in the bag for a while because they’re some of the best (for my game) that I’ve ever tried, and I’ve hit them all. Gotta hit them on turf and not just a mat to get the full picture.

on 1/10/23 at 9:15 am to TaderSaladFor me, it's mostly about look at address. I say this because every iron I have owned has performed well when struck in the center. If it looks good to me, I have a better chance at that.

on 1/10/23 at 9:52 am to TaderSaladLow dispersion and keeping height down in the blue. Distance on mishits is also a priority.

on 1/30/23 at 7:35 pm to notsince98My list is long for sure but #1 is appearance when you look down on it. I like mine to look like a precision tool like a scalpel. I just can't handle the spaceshippy cartoony stuff they make anymore. Look like a splitting mail and it hard to tell where the face is pointing. That's just me though

on 1/30/23 at 7:42 pm to TaderSaladFirst things first… How far does it carry on a low heel miss as compared to a center strike?
