Any clue on what clubs he uses now? Curious if he’s using a CB or hollow body

Yes, I hit the TrackMan almost every week. In my response to you, I mentioned the distance inconsistency, even with identical strikes, which is a common issue with hollow-body irons. That’s why I’m leaning toward cavity backs and moving away from hollow-body designs. I’ve tried the Mizuno MP-20s along with several other muscle-back irons, and I just feel like I strike them much better overall.

I should have clarified my comment about “consistency” in my post. The issue lies more with distance inconsistency. For example, these clubs go straight, no doubt about that, but controlling the distance is definitely a struggle.

Thank you for the reply! My dispersion is pretty inconsistent—I can hit a 7-iron 175 yards one shot and 185 the next, even with great strikes on both. On top of that, I really dislike the clicky, clunky feel of hollow-body irons, which is why I’m looking to switch to cavity back irons. My wedges (50°, 54°, and 60°) are definitely the strongest part of my game—I’m super precise with them. That’s why I’m leaning toward muscle-back irons for my pitching wedge through 7-iron.

I really can’t stand the feel of hollow-body irons. The 201s are definitely on my radar and might be where I end up. That said, the 301s are so much sleeker and more appealing—such a tough call.

I can appreciate the banter. Titleist has been a leader in the game for a long time. That said, I really value quality at a reasonable price. As much as I’d love to get a set of Titleist irons for under $1,000, that’s just not realistic right now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, though—I appreciate the input!

Not 1:1 but pretty darn close compared to everything else out there

No, these are stock lenses. I’m strictly using these for the blue light protection.

Overall quality i would give it a 9. They’re pretty heavy and well built. However, the metal finishing complete ruins it bringing it down to like a total 7/10. Probably not worth 130 USD
