Just saw the review again ...and wana praise it again...very very nice review ...specially the data regarding off center hits ...I would say that's the best way to judge the forgiveness of club...almost no one does that in the review, which is absurd...I really appreciate your great effort ...thanks a lot

Actually you can find these going back many years. Adams made the Idea Tech which use to this day. But you can research the Wilson Launch Pad, Cleveland Launcher, Tour Edge High Launch, a Cobra model that I can’t place. And if you want to go back as far as I can remember, there was a Browning model and in the 90s there was the Spaulding Executive XL. There is massive more tech in them now but the idea has been around a long time.

I'll be needing these in about 20 years for sure

I traded my Ping irons in on these irons plus the 3w and 4w hybrids and I really like them, I will say for me it took a couple of rounds to get used to them but after that my game has improved, I'm a slow swinger at 85mph but it feels smoother than my Ping irons. They definitely get up in the air that's for sure.

i may be in the minority ... but i really like these irons... i'm currently playing the cobra T-Rail with graphite shafts... had to send two irons back for reshafting because of a splintering issue where it enters the hosel. after watching your demo, i have to try these out. One issue you brought up about the shape kinda worries me though. you mentioned they may be a bit diggy from the fairway. I'm not a picker and i guess it's just something every golfer must find out for themselves with everyone's delivery being different. anyway great review.. i really enjoy your demonstration of location of strike and yielded forgiveness. just delicious content .

I tested these but my Tour Edge E521 irons which are very similar, outperformed them. Love them. The underdog can very easily get overlooked. And they don't make it easy to get hold of them here in the UK sadly. But they are a delight to game

[steelhead]

Most interesting observation for me, was the middle of the face not being as hot as many other GI irons. Thoughtful due to the fact there should be no “hot spots” comments with these. That said, I’m not quite ready to play an entire bag of hybrids…another well done review dude!

[michellereed]

These irons are crazy fun to play...almost 2 clubs longer than my apex edge pro irons (which I cannot ever give up). And the irons are not juiced lofts, only .5 degree stronger than the p790

[luisbonilla]

Very well presented review. I ordered a 5i of this club. Hoping to get that forgiveness you mention here 😎

[GOLFADDICT]

I have the regular Stealth irons and LOVE them...these look interesting... great review as usual....cheers from Canada

I’m probably in the age demographic for the Stealth HD (age 65) but not necessarily in the player demographic (5 handicap, driver swing speed of 96). I just want predictable distance and dispersion given expected mishits. I’m currently playing player’s distance irons and I’m looking for more forgiveness, not distance. Watching all of the YouTube videos, (this channel obviously the best), I decided to try out the HD’s. I ended up buying them with the stiff steel shaft. Yesterday, I finished my fifth round with my new Stealth HD irons and shot even par for the first time this year. I’ve also hit around 250 range balls during this same time. It took me a little effort to get used to the HD’s. I would call them left biased vs draw biased and the faster I swing the more they want to exhibit this. I’ve learned to aim at or just right of my target, swing smoothly and trust that the ball will not fly right. I can fade them if I need to. Yesterday, I had to hit a low draw around a tree with the six iron and it was pretty easy to do. From a forgiveness perspective, they perform exactly as advertised. They are very forgiving especially where I wanted (low and/or toe hits). Fortunately, the ball flight and distances matched up very closely with my previous irons. I do like the sole shape; curve heal to toe and front to back. This works great for side hill lies, shots out of the rough and playing the ball back in my stance. They are also easy to hit out of a fairway bunker. The feel and sound are very acceptable. I played a round with a friend who has the Halo irons and tried them out on the driving range. The feel and sound of those were not to my liking. The Halo’s are a very different club vs the HD’s. I plan to keep these HD’s in my bag.

I have no desire to ever play this club or anything like it but it looks so wild I had to watch this! Crazy iron

[TC-pssd]

Very thorough, data driven review. I could use the forgiveness offered with these. I normally play 1 degree upright and it sounds like I could go standard with these. I’d love to try them to see how the short irons look and perform.

[andrewferguson]

Hi, great review, thank you! I'm actually going for an iron fitting in 3 weeks, and these are very much on my radar! Being a mid- handicapper, heel strikes are my absolute nemesis, so studied your figures with great interest!!
I'm hopefully going to also test the Wilson and Cleveland usual models, ie. GI irons, so itching at the bit to trial them all! Bearing in mind I game, 4, 5, 6 and even 7 Ping hybrids, I'm very much looking forward to the results with these irons!!
I'm going with an open mind, but I feel these are very much attractive looking irons..😛

[egmagee]

Avg golfers will benefit greatly from using game improve clubs like this. Let's put our ego in the golf bag and hit better shots and score lower aka play faster and have more fun

[zazhou]

If you are correct about the off centre forgiveness and the minimal drop off compared to the sweet spot, and hence less north/south and left/right dispersion, then these are the irons the knowing golfer is looking for, forgetting other aspects like draw bias, spin, etc..

[shughalonly]

Very nice and detailed review...keep it up ...

[nickmillar]

Are these are the qi irons a better buy

[T.Hizzle]

Just got these. I upgraded from the 1999 Supersteel Burners, to these irons. I gained 20 yards on every club 5-LW.

and I don't dig these irons on the fairway, they hit high and long, and with the draw bias, I hit slightly draw shots with no swing changes.

[GOLFADDICT]

Hi am seriously thinking of swapping my regular stealth irons for the HD stealth old and swing is slowing down... your thoughts ? cheers from Canada
