I’m not a huge equipment guy, but I’ve got a bit of a bug and am considering getting fit into new irons. I generally don’t like change and prefer to buy once cry once, then set it and forget it.
I’m a 7 hcp with a 115mph driver swing and would be looking at the usual suspects (srixon zxi7/zxi5, titleist t100/150, Mizuno 243/245, etc)
My question is, how have set makeups changed in the last 10 years. Here’s what I’m currently gaming:
-Titlesist TSR3 9.5 driver
-Callaway XR Pro 14* 3W
-Titleist 818h2 19* hybrid
-Mizuno mph5 4-6
-Mizuno mp25 7-P
-Vokey 50/54/58
With lofts getting stronger and distances increasing, are folks still running 4 irons? Are combo sets still a good thing to consider? It seems most PWs are 44* these days, how are people blending the gap to the gap wedge? My Mizuno 4i is 24*, that’s a 5i in the Mizuno 245 or Srixon ZXi5, how are people arranging the top of the bag? I imagine after not really changing much in over a decade, new irons also means a new hybrid or fairway metal.
Thanks for the insight.
