Irons/Wedges
Review: PING G15 Irons
A little while back we had a look at the PING i15 iron set, and really loved the blend of forgiveness and workability in a form factor that is pleasing to the eye of the better golfer. Today we are going to have a look at PING’s latest entry in the Super Game Improvement arena, the G15 irons. The PING G series of irons has been well respected for a number of years now, I still vividly remember the first time I picked up a G5 3 iron, my first swing launched the ball into the stratosphere and seemed to carry on forever. I had a brief love affair with the G10 irons and over the past few months have been trying to decide if the latest G15 irons could kick the i15 irons out of my bag.
Review: PING i15 Irons
Now, in 2009, PING has released the 15 line of clubs, including new i15 and G15 irons. It seems PING has listened to the feedback from their loyal customers and made some welcomed changes to the i15 line. Today we will have a closer look at the i15 irons. Over the next few weeks we will also be having a look at some of the other clubs in this new 15 line.
How to Save Money on Irons – Buy Used!
In the current economic climate, we’re all looking to save a buck wherever we can. The days of being carefree with our cash are in the rear view mirror. Do we really need to be shelling out $1000 for a set of irons today? Are the latest and greatest sets today worth the huge jump in price over irons released only a couple years ago? We will leave that up to you to decide, but today we will have a look back at some irons we reviewed in the past and give you some current pricing information. We think a lot of these sets offer an amazing value and a ton of technology. If you are playing a set of clubs that really need to be replaced, but have been hesitant to pull the trigger based on the cost of a new set…this might be a good option for you.
Review: Adams Idea Pro Gold Irons
With Tom Watson’s unbelievable run at The Open Championship behind us, many golfers are asking, what irons does a 59 year old guy play to get him into a playoff in a major at his age? Turns out that Tom Watson had been playing an early prototype of what would eventually become the Idea Pro Gold iron. However, the A-Tours are a very demanding set of irons, built specifically for Tom Watson’s needs on the course. Adams set out to turn the A-Tours into a playable set of clubs for the better amateur player, and thus became the Idea Pro Forged irons. In 2008, Adams made some changes to both the Idea Pro irons and hybrids, integrating their Boxer technology into the hybrids and making some tweaks to the irons with the input of the Adams tour players.
Review: Mizuno MP-52 Irons
If you have followed The Deep Rough over the years, you know that I am a huge fan of Mizuno irons. The first set of Mizunos I had played were the MX-23s, then I moved onto the buttery soft, absolute dream of a club, the MP-33 irons. About a year ago, I got my hands on the MP-57 irons, a set we reviewed and found to be a great combination of buttery soft feel and playable forgiveness. While not as soft as the MP-33s, they let you get away with some slightly off swings.
Nike Slingshot 4D Review
Spring has finally arrived for me! After a long winter without any golf, I finally got in 27 holes this weekend. The motivation for this early and cold round was a set of beautiful new Nike irons that have been staring at me for about 3 weeks. These impressive new clubs arrived one day and I’ve been itching to play with them since I eyed their shiny new faces with fancy yellow coloring. I initially started swinging them in the house waiting for the day when I could finally try them out and see for myself if they were as fantastic as they looked.
Mizuno MX-950 Review
Not long ago we had a look at the Mizuno MP-57 irons, geared toward the mid to lower handicap player. Today we will be taking a close look at Mizuno’s offering for the higher handicap player, the MX-950. The MX-950 is a mixed hybrid/iron set with a ton of forgiveness and the quality you would expect from Mizuno. The question is, do they have that same Mizuno feel?
Review: Miura Black Wedge
Speak the name Miura, and many are struck by visions of artistically ground billets of mild steel and the buttery soft feeling of a well struck long iron. In addition to their hand finished irons, Miura Golf also crafts fine wedges and putters. Today we will be looking at one of the newest Miura offerings, the Black Wedge: a high spin wedge with a black finish and the touch of master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura’s hands.

Review: Mizuno MP-57 Irons
When Mizuno released information about the MP-57s, my jaw dropped. Limited off-set, Increased forgiveness, but at the same time a playable sole and the potential for that same buttery soft Mizuno feel. They haven’t disappointed.
