The LONGEST Golf Irons of 2022?? | Ultimate Game-Improvement Irons Comparison

This ultimate game-improvement comparison of 2022 tests the most popular golf irons from 2022 in the 2nd Swing fitting bays from the game-improvement irons category. Each of these golf irons is designed to deliver explosive distance and excellent forgiveness. But which model is the longest or the most forgiving?

In this video, 2nd Swing's Drew Mahowald and Thomas Campbell test nine golf irons, including the PING G425, Titleist T300, TaylorMade Stealth, Callaway Rogue ST Max, Cobra LTDx, Srixon ZX4, Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal, Tour Edge C523, and Wilson D9.

I have a set of Tours Edge C523 irons. Super easy to hit and feel great off the ball. They compete with these other clubs and are about half the price of most of them. This is the best bang for your buck hands down in my opinion.

[jeffcook]

Picked up the ZX for us last summer love them. Don’t forget they are quieter because they have a forge face

[jeffreylapointe]

I just got fitted in the cobra ltdx and love them

Nice Video. Black Friday I picked up the Callaway Rogue ST MAX OS Irons and it has help my Iron Play a lot. Being in my 50's I was looking for more distant and forgiveness.

Most “playable” irons look like the Ping, Titleist and Mizuno. Obviously depends on your delivery and other factors but a great video. Appreciate it being done at 80mph. Thomas is a machine!

[leftyduffer]

Great test. Surprised Tour Edge 722 wasn't used instead of 523s.

[chrisguider]

Great video. I've been waiting for this one. Would have liked to saw the Cobra Forged Tec-X included but other than that this was awesome. Looking to replace my Titleist 981 irons (bought new in 99 or 2000), will probably go with a players distance iron but have been really interested in the Stealth irons and the JPX 923s.

A suggestion: always throw out the worst of each set...that 1 bad shot can skew the data. This would be more realistic for us hackers who are going to ignore bad shots anyway...and why we have mulligans, breakfast balls, etc.

Got fitted into the Callaway Rogue ST Max by Club Champion 4 months ago.

I really enjoy the watching your guys videos, tons of good info.
I’m looking for new irons for next yr, currently game the G425s.
Have hit the 923 HMs, sweet irons, better than the G425s. Will be trying the Calloway DCBs, and some of the ones had on your video.
Wish you had a store in Western Canada.
Keep up the good work.

Hey guys great comparison. I would really like to see a comparison done with top 5 accuracy and consistency for distance and dispersion in a forgiveness iron with good backspin(6000+). We all know hitting off a mat is easier than how the irons interact with the turf. It would be mice to see your thoughts on this from the short to Long irons 4-PW since most of us only get to test a 7-iron. Great stuff keep them coming.

[michaelreilly]

Interesting test folks. Keep up this important work.

Nice comparison video guys. I'm not in the market for GI irons but if I had to choose one ... I'd give up golf 😂. There's not one that delivers a 'balanced' performance. It's either decent spin with low peak and land angles or it's higher peak with low spin, etc. I'd need to be playing links golf to make any of these work but for those that need/want them, you've done a great job in identifying the similarities and differences 👍

[jplowedge]

Really enjoyed this video. I'm thinking I want either the hot metal 923 or the G425 (def not the coming 430) in the spring, so this was nice to see.

[rayfarrell]

So I’m a sweeper as well. Which of these would you say is best for that type of swing? And in that range of club head speed? Great review. Lots to digest.

[antoniom]

Great comparisson. It would have been nice to see dynamic loft with each of the clubs

[enzy]

Somewhat disappointed to not see the Cleveland Launcher XL game improvement irons in here.. have used them for a year now and they've been very good. Have taken me from being a high handicap starting golf, to a 6 now. And they made golf digest gold.

[richdiorio]

Are the Cobra Dark Speed irons a significant improvement over the LTDX irons?

[atxrich]

Not the biggest fan of this category but I understand golfers that need these type clubs. Though I wouldn’t necessarily put the G425 in this group.

[lawbinson]

Awesome stuff. Could we also have dynamic loft in the data in the future?
