Small headed irons with a lot of offset

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing amall headed irons with a lot of offset. WRXer ‘Crouse99’ is on the hunt for a very specific set of irons, and tees off the thread saying:

“I’m probably the only person looking for something like this.  I like small headed irons.  For example, I love the size of Titleist MB’s.  I also like offset.  How much?  I don’t know but I am ok with the offset in Ping Eye2’s so I would guess that is considered a lot.  Are there any creatures like that out there? 

I have thought of picking up an old set of blades or small cavity backs and bending them strong but I think that would lower the launch too much.”

And our members have been sharing their suggestions in our forum.

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.

  • taylor2325: “You might take a look at the S irons in the Mizuno lineup? I play the S3, and love that they have a little more offset in them. They remind me a lot of what I played as a kid, and I would say the head size visually is similar to Titleist. I played the 718 mbs before moving back to Mizuno, and I think the S3 looks a little smaller and more compact to me?”
  • Poor Mans Ty Webb: “Blast from the past, but the Ben Hogan Apex Plus irons are basically a players’ cavity with a decent amount of offset.  Not quite Eye 2 levels, but they did have quite a bit for their footprint.”
  • PNW: “Miura MC501. Gobs of offset. Feel great and have a really nice sole, though.”

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.
