Irons Club Test

A previous post on a Hybrid Club Test proved to be so popular that I thought it would be worthwhile doing the same for Rankmark’s latest Irons Test (not least, given the somewhat surprising outcome).

Rankmark tested 28 sets of Irons, by dividing the clubs into groups of four (although it doesn’t seem clear how this grouping was determined). Each of the group winners received a ‘Best of the Best’, award, with the following shortlist for the overall winner.

Callaway FT Irons
King Cobra S9 Irons
MacGregor MT MID Irons
Nicklaus Polarity MTR Irons
Ping G10
TaylorMade r7 CGB Max Irons
Titleist AP1 Irons

Each of the testers hit all of the above seven sets of Irons and were asked to pick just one manufacturer’s clubs based on looks, feel, closest-to-the-target, and overall satisfaction.

And the winner of the Rankmark 2008, Irons test was the Nicklaus Company’s Polaris Irons……..surprising eh?

Nicklaus Golf now proudly display the Rankmark ‘badge of honor’ on their website.
