Too big would be the g700, which is massive.

Players shovels for me all day long. Blades and smallish players irons are fun to look at though.

Not sure I have one. Three iron sets: 1971 Wilson blades, 2006 Ping Raptures, and Alpha C1 Pro irons of unknown date, but probably around the same as the Pings. I hit them all equally good and bad except that left-right dispersion decreases with the game improvement technology (or workability decreases if you are a better player). As far as turf interaction goes I’m not sure it matters to me. The blades feel better on good hits and worse on bad. They also don’t feel as wonderful as I remember from the days of wound balls.

Forgot that I also have Tech Power Forged, which are basically a low budget version of the Alpha players cavity. Actually shot my lowest scores with them.

Still gaming the OMG! TopFlite Tour irons. I don't want to play a straight blade but the thing I dislike about the fat shovels is the thick topline. Also don't need and don't like a lot of offset.

      I used to really like Ping Zing 2s... Eventually after collecting, buying and selling enough vintage blades I developed a taste for offset that's less than several inches like the Pings were. Sole width comes into play once I can see the back of the club behind the top line at address.

      sdandrea1 It’s no so much looks as it is how it works when you hit it. I’ve played some irons when I get rental sets that weren’t the best looking clubs but I hit them fine.

          Typhoon Have you ever hit a ball bad (sorry, my bad for not reading) regardless of the club?😎 I tried the old Adams hybrids and could not past the size when swinging, kept thinking I'm going to dig a hole. Play (really just have them in the bag, played a few rounds in '22) Maverick Max now, seems the right size.

            Ping G series type is usually too much for me. Weirdly I struggle with irons that look medium size to me. I tried a LOT of different irons at my last fitting the best by far were the P770 and Miura cavity backs.

              You don't count - you could break par with a baseball bat. 😂

                  I’m curious enough to try any club but gravitate quickly to what works better. 🏌️‍♂️

                  Largest profile irons I’ve played are PING. I’d never say never but I’m unlikely to go any bigger. I’m not sure if one was larger than the other but G25 and G410 are the largest Ive played. My 2022 gamers were the G410 and maybe again in 2023.

                  The smallest profile irons I recall playing in recent years are the Adams Idea Pro Gold forged.

                  I may or may not have the PXG 0211’s in the bag for 2023. If so, the reason would be to switch from DG105 in the PINGs to Recoil Darts in the 0211s.

                    I played various ping irons for 20 years or so. Ping G5s, I5s, G10s, G15 and G400s. Last time was G410s and 700s. The 700s and 410s felt hard and clicky. Just couldn’t do them. My son in law loves the 410s I gave him. 700s we’re too big. Been playing the Pxg 0211s the last year and am happy with those. I’d say they are on my larger side I can play. They start to push the boundaries on the 5 iron for me. The older pings finish I really liked with no ferrule too.

                    Sounds like a plan.

                    I was finally able to hit some balls off the artificial turf (++) range at my club today and the young
                    Assistant Pro stoped by to show me his new Cobra RF custom irons. Lovely. It was a pleasure to watch
                    him hit towering shots with those butter knifes. I tried them for a few shots and was surprised that
                    I could hit them decently for my senior swing.

                    Finally able to hit a few. 🏌
