you make a good point....Callaway has definitely delivered the distance in the irons! But if you're looking for consistency over distance...maybe a different model is better?

It’s funny he picks the zx5 as top iron and never gives mention to the C723 which they pointed out had almost identical numbers to the zx5. Dispersion would have been better in the c723 if it had the same modus 105 shaft. They also talked about how good it felt/sounded but then picks the cobra? Which I thought clearly had a clicky sound. Kudos for including TE though just to show it keeps up with the rest.

Thanks for the video, a bit late to the party. Interesting choice of clubs, not convinced they are all 'players-distance irons' for example, the Paradym is supposed to be a 'game improvement' model with a MPF rating of 672, whereas the ZX5 is MPF 560 and the i525 is MPF 325. So, not surprising the Paradym went approx 10yds further as the club is designed for those players looking for more distance and also forgiveness.

The previous year's test of this type of iron was much more useful done at low 80's swing speed. I don't think any player swinging a 7 iron at 88 mph is playing a players distance iron. Wondering why the Titleist T200 was left off the list - you tested pretty much every other club in the segment.

After testing several for my game including the pxg gen 5p (my gamer) I switched to the p770s with the helium nanocore blaxk shaft which gave me the best accuracy, even better distance for the left than others including my gamer as impact strike point more consistent when adjusted to 2 flat and shortened even by half an inch. Four keys for me that made a difference - shortening; the choice of shaft; looks/feel; and higher lofts (7 iron for example 2 degree weaker than my Pxg yet same or even slightly longer distance, better peak height and greater descent angle) and slightly better spin numbers too.

Just to add that I really wanted to like the jpx 923 forged especially as first time available in left hand but sadly - equally due to shaft options that did not match either my gamer or my final choice of p770 - did not shortlist it. Feel wise my gamer Pxg (5 forged) was far better than the mizuno. But in the end p770 won out.

How did the P790's work out for you? I've ordered a set of T200's coming out of playing a much more traditionally lofted club...Mizuno JPX921 Tour. I love the Mizuno clubs - but my score (about the same handicap as you) is taking a hit on off-centre hits coming up 20+ yards short. I was looking for a little distance, but more than that - consistency of distance on the misses. Could be a shaft issue on the Mizunos, but I was also finding that despite the traditional lofts that I was getting a very low ball flight which went up 10-15 feet in peak height with the T200's.

@@austinflores5228 lol - good thing for notifications!! 🤣 I am worried a little about the distance. I'm working on my swing, and at the end of it could be close to 2 full clubs longer than I was hitting the Mizuno's. But I was hitting the T200 consistently higher, and in the same ballpark for spin numbers. I'm hoping that the better forgiveness in the T200's over what I was playing will mean more of my mis-hits end up on the green, or just off instead of in the front bunker, or 15 yards short of the green in that tricky pitch yardage. I think the ZX7's are a pretty long way off from the P790....almost like the swap I'm doing - but in reverse 😂 Glad you found something that worked out for you. Thanks for the reply.
