It’s our opinion that a solid case could be made for 6 of the 8 irons we tested. Of course, we’d be lying if we said it was easy to draw a clear distinction between the irons in this test. Unless there is an absolute tie, it’s pretty much our policy to give only one award each for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. In the end, we decided distance should not be a factor in our scoring. That, coupled with the differences in shaft length and lofts between manufacturers makes it extremely difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions about distance. While iron distance may be a consideration among some golfers, it’s not to us. Formal testing was done using the 7-iron only, however golfers were encouraged to hit as many clubs in the set as they felt were necessary to draw conclusions and form their opinions.įinal rankings were based largely on the combination of accuracy numbers and the results of our user surveys. Using the 3Trak equipped simulators from aboutGolf at Tark’s Indoor Golf in Saratoga Springs, NY we collected detailed ball flight data from a select number of golfers, and solicited subjective opinions from countless more who had the opportunity to hit each of the clubs over the last several months. Callaway did not respond to our request for a set of their X-Forged irons. Srixon turned down our request to include their Z-TX irons in our tests. We requested and received iron sets from Cobra, Fourteen Golf, MacGregor, Mizuno, Scratch, Titleist, TourEdge, and Wilson. These type of irons are generally targeted to low and mid-handicap golfers, although they appeal to golfers of all ability levels, including some higher handicap golfers. That being truly the “Ultimate Golf Club Review System!” Best Forged Cavity-Back Iron Review 2010 – (How We Tested)įor this iron faceoff we tested the leading forged cavitybacks in the industry.

So expect to see even more bells & whistles in the next series of reviews as we take the next steps towards creating the type of golf equipment reviews we’ve always envisioned since day 1 at MyGolfSpy. As our data sets expand and we grow our capabilities, we’ll finalize our updated scoring system, and begin providing you the power to evaluate our data in any way you see fit. In the coming weeks and months we will be collecting even more data (some of the things you’ve specifically asked for) during our tests. Beginning with this review, we’re giving you the option to interact with our data in whatever way is meaningful for you. So as we began to write this review of what really are 8 of the nicest set of irons we’ve ever hit, we decided the time was right to launch what you might consider an early Alpha release of the 2nd generation of our Ultimate Review System. We want to show you all the data, but the data we think is important may not be important to you, so now for the very first time on any golf club review site you will actually get to pick and choose what data you want to see. Of course, we don’t want you to take our word for it, we want to show you how we arrive at our winners. While it’s next to impossible (and probably boring as hell) to keep one’s opinions entirely out of the review process, we want you to know that our opinions are based largely on the data we collect during testing.
While most review sites and magazines seem content to award a never ending stream of gold, silver, and bronze medals, or simply claim that every club they test is as awesome as every other, that’s not good enough for us.
