I played my first round with my new Sim2"s and couldn't have been happier with my purchase. I usually shoot around a 92-95 and got an 88 on the first round of the year. And I don't even know my yardages yet for these new clubs. All I can say is that they are very forgiving and long.

So I have had 137 rds for chemotherapy starting playing golf at 33 years old when I got cancer almost 10 years ago. It also took me 10 years to test days after chemo to test what I would play 90% of the time vs the 3 to 5 days when I was at my physical prime so testing 3 to 5 after then 10 to 14 then 17 to 21 days after treatment and the ping g425 with a Graphic shaft and there power plus lofts were the best to find for me the Callaway Epic Speed was the best driver 3 wood off tee plus super hybrid has been the best off the deck and the cobra 7 wood best 5 iron in my bag hahahaha. Thanks so much to Peninsula golf in San Mateo California for working with me so closely and helping me out with everything I needed it such a long process. !!! And another questions feel free and ask. He even let me use reg and stiff shafts during the month until we can up with a plan reg flex driver and 3 wood the shift 75 gram 3 super hybrid and shift cobra speed 7 wood. Took my ego almost 10 years to even think about this way and my game is talking off breaking 85 weekly at the home course next goal break 82 then shoot 79!!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The line down the center of the top of the Cobra RadSpeed would be a total distraction for me. I don’t think I could hit them. For me I can’t seem to hit a Taylor made iron well. I have tested them and for some reason, other than having a bad swing, I can’t hit them vs other irons. I will be testing irons in the near future and for me the longest, straightest will be the winner for me.

Nice review. I knew after your aesthetics rating you weren't choosing the Ping G425. However, I disagree about the looks and also feel you over weighted that part of the scoring considering they all look a little thick on top and you aren't looking at the back during the most critical phase of any shot. Based on the more important, IMHO, areas for any game improvement iron, and the ratings from the other areas, I think the Ping G425 would've won as it did well in every category, other than looks. Again, its all subjective. I'll be trying out the Ping soon, and may try the Sim2. I've already hit the Callaway Apex, Taylormade P790, Mizuno 921's and the Srixon ZX5s. Of those, the Apex and P790 worked best for me with P790 being ever so slightly better, but I need to swing the G425s to compare. Thanks again for a great review!
@LetsPlayThru
3 жыл бұрын
Honestly, you may be right. I might've weighted looks too heavily. We all have our biases, and I could've been a bit too shallow here. Beyond looks though, bigger does mean harder to get out of the rough. So there is that, but your point is valid none the less. Its' a solid club and the best choice for many out there, no doubt. For me it was splitting hairs but that added distance / spin put the SIM 2 over the top. Just depends on your needs. I did a review of the p790s a few weeks back. I'll try to work in a comparison with the ones you've suggested, but in the meantime here's the standalone review: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1JCYmZiQnnSXnYI

Good review. However , think of the buyers in the category of “Game Improvement”. Workability is a very suspect category. Workability has to be very low (well almost non existent) for these buyers - they want it go straight. I had mostly same experience, Ping 425 on open range is hard to hit a bad shot, but the didn’t feel better than a forged club. Sorry not my experience nor the golfers that day hitting Callaway, Sims and Pings. I would have put the Callaway DCB’s in this category not the regular Apex. Finally, I am impressed with Ping ‘s cheaper price for an exceptional iron and they include Arccos grips standard which is HUGE. Ping is an amazing value all the things considered. But without question Callaway’s felt the best and had the best dispersion on the open range. Just overpriced - ugh.
@LetsPlayThru

Very valid point in regards to workability. Although I do think for folks who are getting a bit older and need more distance but still want the feel of their old players irons this could be a selling point for them. That’s why I decided to include it. You are also right about the feel. None of these Clubs are going to be as good as my Mizuno forged irons 😀 - but I think they’ve all improved significantly over the last few years. The Apex dispersion is incredible. I was blown away.

Great review! I was wondering if the Callaway Apex DCB are rated the same as the regular Apex and so you decided to just have one of the Callaway Apex's in this review.

I will be looking to get some new irons over the winter and have the Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal irons at the top of my wish list. Since you did not review them until after this video, I am wondering where you would rank them on this list. I also have the Apex DCB and Sim2 Max on my list as well and possibly the Ping 425. Want to keep the fitting down to a reasonable amount of time. Good comparison - I like the criteria set but would have liked to see you add sound along with feel. It is hard sometimes to tell the sound watching videos. One thing I like about my Mizunos is the sound. Anyway, thanks for the videos and I wish you well with your upcoming ankle surgery and look forward to seeing you back as soon as possible. AE

Great review. I recently tested all these irons with the exception of the Wilson D 9 and I went with the Mizuno 921 HM Pros with the UST Recoil ESX 460 shafts. I will agree with you that the Ping G 425s surprised me on how great they felt but were short on distance for me. They were my second choice. Like I said in a previous comment check out the new Tour Edge 721 irons and the new Srixon ZX 4’s.

I strike it well but am really slow and until I pick that up I can't get the 790 or HMP irons that you rock

I just got my 425’s for my 1st fitted clubs and love them. I don’t think carry distance should be as much of a factor because all of these minus maybe the Williston’s your going to get fitted for and you always decrease your loft if you need the extra range. My ranges are similar to yours thou I don’t know why you would need more range when you should be hitting 220-230 with your 4 iron off the deck any longer and I go to 5 or 3 wood it’s not like your going to hit 200+ out of the rough with anything.

Great round-up, Gabriel! Wow. Ping winning a "Best Feel" category! That's a definite change from years past.So many great iron choices these days. I play the Apex 19s and love the feel and distance. Amazing how the Apex 21s have so much carry despite being 2º or 3º weaker than the others. They've really dialed in that CG for high launch/low spin. I've never had any trouble stopping the Apex 19s, but I also play a little fade, so I'm spinning shots more anyway. I tried the previous TaylorMade Sim Max irons and was surprised how solid the feel was. Not that clicky at all. Nice solid "thud."

I haven’t gotten a new set of clubs in about 10 years. After watching your driver and iron review I am leaning towards the SIM2s. Also, you said in an earlier video you had a mixed bag. What’s is your opinion of a complete set from the same manufacturer? How do I select shat flex, length, weight etc?
@LetsPlayThru

Congrats on taking the sport back up! I personally don’t think you need to stick with one manufacture for the entire bag. You are right my back is a hodgepodge. I picked the right club that works for the job no matter what the brand is. If you are really serious it might be worth finding a fitter. But if you were just casually getting back into the game, my advice would be to simply visit your local golf shop and a competent sales associate should be able to get you a relatively decent setup.
