PD.1 Irons (Players Distance Model)

I've played 20 rounds so far and have loved the feel and consistency of the irons.

Had the PXG 0311P set previous and wanted make a change. 7-8 handicap. These irons are amazing! Used the online fitting knowing some of my own specs and went with 105 in X stiff. Penetrating ball flight, great looking and no random flyers like the PXG. Overall, best irons I have ever had and even better value compared to the big brands.

I got fitted at the end of May at he Haywood location in Vancouver. My first fitting ever, the whole experience was great. Once I received my irons the transition to using them was seamless. The only adjustment I had to make was due to the extra yardage I picked with the new sticks. The ball flies off the face, mishits don’t spray too much or lose too much distance. Highly recommend these clubs!

Got fitted for my PD.1s last July and can’t say enough good things about them. The looks, the feel, the performance of them… everything is top notch! Awesome experience and recommended Haywood to all of my friends. Definitely want to add more Haywood products to the bag soon!

ordered PD1 irons with my spec decided to go with Recoil shafts really good looking clubs adjusting to graphite but so far feel good No Tariff on these ........ Elbows Up.........

These have been an amazing purchase! I’ve only just had one session at the simulator to start figuring out my distances but the PD.1s feel amazing from 4-A; I cannot recommend Haywoodgolf enough! Thanks, Team!

I got fitted by Josh at their HQ late last year.
For those local to Vancouver, I would highly recommend getting fitted by Josh and his team - support our homegrown team with pride.

My fitting experience was great, got to hit the SV2 and the PD1 in a variety of shafts. Josh was super knowledgeable and there was no pressure at the end of my fitting. I had previously been fitted for Mizuno Hot Metal Pros and TM P790s, and I felt that both the SV2 and PD1 felt just as good - just a touch softer.

I ended up pulling the trigger the PD1s spec'd to me not long after (lengthened, lofted up, flattened).

I was able to hit the range with them a bunch during the winter offseason and play a nice round with them recently. The PD1s are still plenty forgiving! You can definitely get proper feedback on off-center hits, but they still perform good enough as playable shots.

I am a ~20hcp, and feel like I will be trending down with how confident I feel with approaching the green with these clubs.

I am extremely satisfied with my decision and purchase from this excellent Canadian brand!

I will break down the review in 4 parts: Look, Feel, Accuracy and Consistency
also some info- Im a high handicap (20)
Looks: They're a very simple but Sleek looking club, making the Haywood logo on it small was a great choice as it really shows off the sleekness of the club.
Feel: The clubs feel great, you know how you hit it instantly to help correct for future swings. Striking pure feels like cutting through butter. The clubs have a naturally heavy feel (steel shaft vs graphite) which i personally like.
Accuracy: i went from Game improvement to players distance irons and actually improved my accuracy (cone shape) by 10 yards tighter on average.
Consistency: That being said these clubs are a little rough on forgiveness when it comes to distance. Ive had mishits lose 20-30 yards distance (5-6 iron). I haven't had any fliers with these clubs which is nice. I do have to put a note here that those mishits are on me and my improving swing and not the clubs.
Overall i am thrilled with how they have played so far in the sim and i hope they can stay that way on the course to improve my handicap.

I had been playing with the original Signature irons for the last 4 years and couldn’t have been more impressed. But, when I saw the new irons, I couldn’t resist so I purchase the PD.1 in 6-AW.

First, Josh and crew were amazing to work with on the customizing of their clubs to my requirements. The number of options is uncommon and greatly appreciated. The AeroTech i95’s are a perfect fit for me.

Getting the Approach Wedge in the PD.1 version instead of the Signature was an excellent suggestion. The dispersion with the new 50° Approach Wedge has improved significantly. Even the Launch Monitor was impressed…😆

The feel is nice; soft yet reactive. The sound is a bit different from the Signatures; more soothing. Already I have increased my carry yardage with the 6 Iron by 11.2 yds. I am currently using the Snell 3.0 golf ball.

Pictured are the PD.1 #9 Iron and 50° Approach Wedge plus the 56° Signature Wedge.

I recently purchased a set of PD.1 irons and did not really know what to expect. They arrived ahead of schedule and I was blown away with the quality and in particular the look. The finish is outstanding and the craftmanship is fantastic. The minimal offset and compact head look great from the top. The feel at impact is solid and more forgiving than anticipated. I was so happy with the purchase I immediately ordered the AW and plan to add a 56 and 60 in the near term. Customer service was very helpful and responded on a Sunday! I totally recommend these irons. Dealing with Haywood Golf has been very easy.
