Would have been nice to mention why the mid shafts lacked 10 yards of distance! in relation to their 120 counterparts. That is the most remarkable part of this experiment

I gamed the 921 Forged from late 2020 until early 2024. Went with the 923 Forged afterwards, and I absolutely love them. I’m around a 12 handicap but I hit these clubs well. They also feel incredible despite the different materials and micro slots in the longer irons. The slotted longer irons are a bit faster or springier off the face but still feel excellent.

came from the built video. Not too easy to find this one. Interesting though. Thanks

Spending hundreds if not a thousand dollars on clubs and doing crap like this

Hi I am a golf club builder / fitter here in the UK . can you tell me who makes the hot melt gun you have ..?

How would shortening the R2 shaft change the numbers?

On that second swing with the project x, you could see the wheels turning in his head…

thanks for the tip to skip!

You should do a video comparing the Dynamic Gold 115 with the Nippon Pro Modus 3 115.

the Project X 6.0 is 120g not 125g and yes, it would have been nice to know exactly which DG tour edition model at the start of the video. I picked up S400 on the picture at the end. Shame because good video...

Just hit the 699V2 Pros last week and loved them. I've been playing Cleveland HiBore for 10 years and thought it would be hard and they were easy to hit and felt great.

I completely disagree with you, anyone who has hit those JPX hot metal know they feel like hitting a trash can. The JPX 923 forged feel like a players iron with just a bit more of a sweet spot.

Imo forgiveness is in sole width. A wider sole DOES NOT suit every delivery type. And your average person will have a better chance of moving strike up the face, were it belongs, while using a narrow sole.

Excellent vid. Thanks for this one..

Yeah but what was his dispersion with both? Extra yards are great but only if you can control where the ball goes.

How did the 9 iron bent to 38 degrees compare to the actual 8 iron with the same loft?

Wow such a good video! 👏

Interesting thing is that HEAVIER shafts produce HIGHER ball SPEED!!!!!!!!

Delofting adds offset??? Did I hear that correctly? I thought that delofting (making the irons stronger) would takeaway offset....

Would I be able to successfully bend the Original Ping Eyes? I learned in Karsten 1s and these are nearly identical, but id like a bit more distance

Though it would take a bit of extra work as a club builder but, I would like to see what the results would look like if the swing weights were matched.

Just tipped 1/2” a stiff Velocore + on a 4 wood, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite clubs. 104 driver ss and have played x for 20+ years, but I’ve found myself wanting more feel, which the stiff shaft has provided. The 1/2” tipping keeps spin and dispersion under control

WTH? This is what other experts won't let you in on. Thanks for sharing this!

No one ever does an exact comparison. Hitting a 3 wood with the same exact loft would be much closer. I no longer use a driver but instead use a cobra 3 wood set at 12.5 degrees and it's straight both off the tee and off the deck. Driver is not worth 15 yards because it's usually the wrong 15 yards.

That no good for seniors his swing speed is different to seniors

Great review…to the point and putting them in a category really helped……thank you 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️⛳️⛳️👊🏼👊🏼

You should hit knock down every time! 🔥

Thanks for the video. You talk about the pros and cons of blending the JPX923 Forged with other models, but the 923 Forged is already effectively a blended set, with 4-7 being in 4120 Chromoly and 8-G in 1025E mild carbon steel. Have you tried the 8-iron or above?

Fittings cost time and money. Never analyze during the fitting. Get through all your swings through all manufacturers and models you wanna try out asap. Analyze after the fitting.

it will be a little more" scientific" if you actually find a real 70 YO senior to do the video, lol!

love it I have the zx5 Mk II in the bag

I had a set of 225 pros and was not blown away by them. I liked my JPX 825 pros better. I now have a set of 923 hot metal pros and they are fantastic.

It’s weird how you couldn’t turn over an undersized grip.

I need these clubs in my life. Ive currently got the sub 70 639 cb clubs and they are amazing. I could not be happier, not to mention how beautiful they look. But...Ive been trying to find an excuse to buy those 659 mbs. I have dreams about seeing those clubs in my bag xD

Just got my Motore X in the mail, matched the exact specs in this video. Extremely whippy, easy to control the shape of the shot tho. I can tell there is a ton of energy being transferred to the ball because even the mishits were penetrating. I'll admit with range balls they overspin and with the balls what have almost no dimples the will apex and nosedive hard. I've got to see what this does with my gamer ball. Im pretty sure it's a winner.

You changed the swingweight of the club... Very BAD idea

I recently put graphite shafts in my irons. I made them 1/2” longer than with the steel shafts. I wanted to try a new iron head so I bought a 7 iron head. When I put it on the shaft that my other 7 was on I noticed it was 1/2” shorter. The hosel on the new iron was 1/4” shorter and 1/4” deeper. If I buy all the new irons should I add extensions or soft step them ?

Surely having higher lofts might make an iron easier to hit same as with a driver. In terms of easy to hitting club is the 24 degree 38 inch rule as described by Tom Wishon.

Like the idea of the HL… CB irons with traditional lofts.. why put them on steroids??

your vidoes are confusing. 1 video you say weight is more important than flex, another video you say weight has no impact on swing speed, and this one you say lighter weight is beneficial. SMDH Starting to think I cant take you seriously.

I’m 56 and had been playing stiff shafts on the 60g range. My swing speed is around 85mph. I recently switched all my shafts to lighter Reg and SR shafts and my slice went away and am averaging 20 strokes less. 😃 I was playing the wrong heavier shafts all these years. I changed to Mitsubishi Chemical Vanquish shafts, lightweight and awesome.

Hi AJ, love this video and I'll be using it to show my golf buddies who don't believe me when I show up with my Cleveland Launcher LX with a ladies shaft and outdrive them. I'm a big Tom Wishon fan and have shortened the shaft because of my WTF measurement.

I’ve never understood the “stiffer flex is better,” theory. Idk how current hockey is but I know years ago you wanted a stick with more flex and all the guys who shot 100mph used really whippy twigs. I thought the same would apply in golf.

I play an old wilson set of irons from the late 70s. I have no problem with hitting my 8-iron from 100-110 yards out while I would have played the PW from my modern set at the same distance as both have identical lofts. If it means swinging easy and getting up and down, I can hang my ego up.

It would've been nice to know which dg tour issue shaft you were using

I have the 115 wedge flex in my wedges and the feel is perfect. Would it work in my irons? I’d like the replicate the feel of my wedges full swing in my irons. The wedges are stable but not too heavy and my irons 95g xp95 r300’s that fly too high and are light and whippy.

I play a Diamana Red board 50 Lite flex with a 90 + swing, for me it works.

Well that answers that question. Need something in between my 10.5 degree driver and 18 degree hybrid. Was tossing up between a mini driver and a 3 wood. The mini driver would get used at most twice off the tee at my home club, hitting off the deck on par 5’s is far more important and a 3 wood that can do both seems a much better option
