I hit the T100 and S today. It was really hard for me to accept the Ss due to my “old school” thinking but begrudgingly I have to admit I hit the S better. Distance wasn’t too dramatic for me on a 7 iron - just 3 or 4 yards but the feel and dispersion was better. I was worried about the S being too hot and distance variability that the springy clubs tend to have, but oddly they were tighter (admittedly I didn’t put great swings on the T100).
I think the little slot in the back of the S really helps on just off center hits and maintains speed on mishits. That’s what we are all looking for, right (assuming dispersion and gapping overall is the same)? I think while the two clubs are mostly the same, we can’t understate the extra technology in that slot - apparently it allows a slightly more flexible face. Plus it just felt better.
Again it’s hard for me to reconsider my bag setup, because it’s a radical shift, but I’m slowly coming around to it. If it hits longer, tighter and better on mis-hits, then really it’s a no brainer. Oh and it’s still plenty workable for me.
Just my ego that needs a check.
