High spin, high MOI irons. Do they exist? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing whether high spin, high MOI irons exists. WRXer ‘SMAC43’ kicks off his search, saying:

“Love the forgiveness but hate the low spin. Seems like all the newer more forgiving irons (apex cf, p790/770, jpx forged, i500 etc.) are all distance rockets. Are there any larger and more forgiving heads that don’t have the hot face technology?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts in our forum – with TaylorMade’s P770 irons proving to be a popular choice.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • Shupe: “P770 has really consistent spin numbers. I’m a lower spin player, and they are fine for me). Get them a little weaker, and you should be fine. I play blades, and the p770s fit in well at the very top of the bag, so I don’t have to play a hybrid. TaylorMade nailed the mix between player/distance iron. Give them a try.”
  • Feelingofgreatness: “Pxg 0311 P model. Very forgiving and not super low spin.”
  • Jakra1234: “As a fairly high spinning player. I spun the p770 7 iron at around 6200 and a 46 descent angle. That’s about right where I wanted it, and it was the only club to do it. Only reason I say this, is relative to other clubs like the jpx 921 forged, the mp20 HMB, p790, and Callaway x forged, all of them spun much less and had a lower descent angles, believe it or not. Way too many people look at spin w/o looking at descent angle. I would not call the p770 low spin clubs actually, I personally find them incredibly controllable. They are kinda in a field of their own right now and definitely worth a hit.”
  • Jamie_Tee: “I’m after a similar thing and play MP20 HMB. Reasonable PW loft at 46 degrees. Not much offset to my eye. Forgiving but not aggressive low spin.”

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
