Watching Joe the pro is always a pleasure! But watching on a Japanese masterpiece made by Miura or Honma also is – and i missed this pieces in your selection. Do a other video with such traditional forged clubs, maybe with a set of betinardi irons like Freddie Couples tested here on yt….
No chance a Chinese iron is better than Japan forging no chance !!! you must be sponsored mate.
I agree with the mizuno irons looking odd behind the ball. Never could get my head around them. Look a bit chunky as odd as that sounds.
Srixon ZX7 MKII 5-pm with a ZX5 MKII 4 iron
Miura, oh so smooth!
But, oh so expensive!
Most will never even try because of the price!
The rest are within most of our budgets,
Golf snobs won't be happy with your best pick. lol.
Doing a great Job Joe .👍👍
241 in the bag. Had 221's last year. Cannot hear your sound and feel strikes because your mic is muffled by your sweater at impact.
Holy crap, a 32° 7i ina players iron, lofts have been getting so strong. I remember hearing how my 36°7i sets were strong lofts when I started playing. I’ve always stuck with a 48° pw, 44° 9, 40.5° 8i, 36° 7, 32° 6, etc. but it’s getting harder to find lofts weak enough, thankfully Titleist has stayed with the 47° pw which I bend a degree weak through the years, I also like how it lessens the offset. Ive gamed a set of the Titleist MB for over 20 years now, the 620’s will probably go in the bag soon but I always go back to my trusty 710’s which I’m on my 3rd set of heads 3-pw through the years. liked the 714’s a lot too. They’re all basically the same with minor differences. Some of these irons on here weren’t even really blades also.
If MacGregor could come back like they once were!
Wilson blades are always gorgeous. Takomo is taking golf world by storm tgis yr.
I wonder if you collected data from hundreds of strikes whether there would really be much if any difference between most forged irons? There is so much bs around golf gear and have forged irons really changed much in a couple of decades? Seems like you could go find anything from years ago for a few hundred dollars and you would be fine, they are fairly affordable actually, probably because so many people bought them and realise they can't use them.
Stunning background
Sub70 has some beautiful blades.
paid by Takomo
bridgestone mb is the best
Takomo all day long. I have the basic 101's, same great looks, wonderful feel & performance & the PRICE can't beat'em.
How did the shaft setups compare? Were they varying manufacturers and flexes?
Haywood Golf out of Vancouver is another awesome DTC brand. They mill their blades to a 2% tolerance, which is tighter than industry standards, and you can get a PW-4 set for $799 with your choice of shaft. Got mine a year and a half ago, my distances increased by 15 yards per club and my handicap is down 4.5 strokes. I’m now a 14.5 and love my combo set (blades PW-7, CB’s 6-4). I know I’m not technically “good enough” to play blades but they have absolutely benefited my game; goes to show not every golfer is the same and you should play what makes you happy
Srixon zx mk2
Absolutely no audio on the ball striking in these reviews. Need another microphone for that. We'd all like to hear what they really sound like.
I love my Ben Hogan Icon irons, and I hope you will consider them next time.
The cobra RF MBs
Those Wilson Staff Model blades are incredible
left out MIURA… WTF? Sorry Joe the Pro, love you on Dan's channel, but absolute bollocks of a video. 👎🖕

What shafts are they all using?
Mizuno pro 243 is the club that worked best for me I sent hours getting fitted and it was the best for me personally
I have a set of Wilson staff FG51 tour blades from the early 90s and they are as good as anything made today!
Watch that left arm, slugger.
How the hell an I supposed to keep my attention on the clubs with that crazy backdrop..holy hell that view
Mizuno MP-68 hard stepped stiff plus kbs. Accurate as can be.
Maybe cut the background noise to hear it .. maybe?
The best blade irons are based on the head design profile of the MacGregor MT by MacGregor and the Jack Nicklaus VIP muscle back irons. Examples are the Mizuno TN 87, MP 14, MP29, the Maruman Conductor 31EX, 31CX , the Ben Hogan Apex in it's many iterations since 1990 and many more. Given that the technology has not changed much best advice to an aspiring golfer is to get a set that they like and practice to be good at golf.
How do these new 2024 blades compare to a set of Mizuno Mp-33? I just bought a set of MP-33 for $500. I'd be curious to know if the new blades are much better for the price
