I guess I'm in the minority in that the looks of a club have zero impact on me. It's all about performance. My Ping G15 and G400 irons looks didn't enter into the equation for me. Feel would rate higher for me way beyond looks.
Pings 17-4 steel doesn't feel as soft as 431 steel, but not that noticeable to me.
My current TM Sim Max OS irons look fine to me. The Speed Bridge connecting the top with the bottom doesn't bother me either. At the time I liked that they had the fastest ball speed of any iron.
When I demoed then at Edwin Watts they outperformed all the other irons I hit. I'd play the ugliest club in the world if it worked better for me.
When I first developed elbow problems close to 20 years ago I went with the Tour Edge JMax Bazooka Ironwoods. Most golfers wouldn't play those because they're ugly.
Had several people say to me me wow you hit those well, but I could never play them because of the looks. Typical male golfer, more ego than brains. lol😏
