So excited to see the lucky bunch and their reviews.Yep!
A bunch of THP’ers are about to, too!
Its a package that likely has a huge amount to love that just hasn't gotten out for everyone to enjoy yet. Its coming though. Blow this place up with info guys. Looking forward to it.Quite excited that things are going to get busy in here.
I’m going to likely go with the KBS Lite 105X I believe.

Good stuff Frank. Looking forward to how your Ai Fit goes!Lets kick this off with an About The Tester post. The goal in sharing this is to provide the reader some context about my testing.
Age / Skill Level
I'm a mid to late 50's RH golfer without a current index. My last accurate number was 13.2. I've been as low as 10.1(?) and as high as 30.
What's This Guy's Story
I have been around THP for a decade or more, most of that time I was in serious Golf Hacker - Addict mode. The past few seasons I just lost the golf bug and have not played a lot. I have just started to get the itch back.
What Has He Played / What Does He Know About Irons?
From memory, 2008 Callaway Big Bertha > TM RocketBladez > Bridgestone J40 > Ping i20s > Cobra King Forged One Length > Hogan PTX > Callaway Apex (2018).
I feel like I'm forgetting something but the point remains - I've played numerous OEM offerings and (using old school language) they've all ranged from GI to Player-ish. Players Distance is my Jam. I need as much forgiveness and distance help as I can get and I want it as small a package possible with great feel.
What Does He Know About Fittings?
I live 5 miles from the largest fitting center in my state, and have been fit there several times for a number of different club offerings. I was fortunate to be fit by a world class fitter at The Grandaddy.
What Is His Iron Game Like?
Iron play is my long-standing weakness. Even after years of lessons, the "hump the ball" early release move is a solid part of my repertoire. I trend toward hitting the ball reasonably straight but don't compress the ball well; I'm usually all over the face and can wear out the low grooves.
I think that's enough for now. Any questions?
I liked that it was quick and easy. In past fittings I have reached a point of fatigue and diminishing returns; at a certain point the time with the fitter just hasn't been productive or additive. This cuts through all of that.I kinda love this @tequila4kapp
I think it’s a much more simple fitting setup than I anticipated, but it’s also kind of logical. I like that it’s concise at least.
I think the DART’s were a good fit for you, they’re one of the no up options, yeah?
I am fully expecting to be charged for the fitting but that’s ok. If i have additional time, i hope to validate the putter I’m using. I’m already in DART 75 R so i was ready to just order, but i want to go through the entire process.I liked that it was quick and easy.

I was not charged for the fitting (they normally charge $100). I am not sure if that is always the case for the Wilson experience. But if so, then the 10m version of a fitting is especially good.
People need to have realistic expectations. It is not meant to replace a Club Champion experience. I think it also helps if you trend toward anti-OCD. For example, it could have been easy to get really hung up on the R vs S flex thing. I have enough experience in that zone that I know - for me at least - it really doesn't matter.
I was expecting it too - even tried to pay / asked how much.I am fully expecting to be charged for the fitting but that’s ok. If i have additional time, i hope to validate the putter I’m using. I’m already in DART 75 R so i was ready to just order, but i want to go through the entire process.
Excellent! I’m glad that worked out for you!I was expecting it too - even tried to pay / asked how much.
@Jman - order is in and yes, I'm going Recoil Darts 75g, stiff instead of regular. I am pretty darn confident they'll work great for me - I've had a long run with assorted UST / Recoil iron shafts.
Great point. That realistic expectation piece is huge. It seems like a good tool to get a really good option. But would be easy to go down the ‘what if’ rabbit holeI liked that it was quick and easy.

Wondering if these could be improvement on my zx7s. They seem like a tremendous club!Not so much a win, as gets to review them….which is also sort of a win in the end haha
Excited to get this forum testing rolling, I think it’s going to be a very very fun one.
I love the kbs Lite 105 stiff...Quite excited that things are going to get busy in here.

I am in the same boat in that I absolutely love my gamers, which are excellent irons.Wondering if these could be improvement on my zx7s. They seem like a tremendous club!
As do I. I’m eager to get fit. Sort of hope for same shaft as it would at least seem to make for a better comparison, but I’m open to other shafts.I am in the same boat in that I absolutely love my gamers, which are excellent irons.
