should I get 4-gap or 5-sand


Recommended Posts

Hey al,l I am going to get Ping i20 irons here very soon and would like some 

input.  

Im a 18 hc and Im sick of it.  

I don't always hit the 4h that i own consistently.

And am very fond of my Scratch 56*sw.

So what would you do 4-u or 5-sand.

Im thinking 5-sand for the same feel and look.

I have hit 7 different GI irons and Ping is the one Im going with.

Thanks folks

Since this is do as I say not as I do, I would say get the 5-Sand.  At an 18 you should be using hybrids for you 3-4 irons at least.

I agree with Rick on the hybrids, but it is all what you are comfortable with and can hit consistently.  I play off of a scratch index and have not had an iron below a 5 iron in my bag for almost a decade now since I cannot hit a 3 or 4 iron very consistently.  I play a 3 and 4 hybrid, 5-PW with a 53*, 56* and 60*.

I'm here as well. In fact a tricked up 6 is my longest iron in the bag. However I played with a 26 on Friday and Saturday whose two best clubs were driver and 4 iron. So...... You really need to know your game. What clubs do you hit well? If you're struggling with the long irons go with hybrids, lots of them.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

I have just recently switched to a hybrid even though I can still hit the 4 and 5 irons. I recently traded for a Ping I 20 20* hybrid that I have bent to 22* since I carry a 21* 7 wood I know the numbers are close but I like the hybrid and I have it deballed so to speak so it hits like a 24* but I love the way it hits and I can do more with it
