russtopherb Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 So I guess I just bought a set of Cobra S9 irons, 4-PW with graphite shafts, for $30 shipped. My ability to golf will be greatly narrowed in a few weeks, I'll be stuck with range sessions and a few 9 hole rounds on Sundays until next season. So I figured I'd wait until the offseason when prices start to drop as new lines are announced to pick up a new set. Or who knows, maybe these irons will be perfect for me.

edingc Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Golfing season here is winding down quickly, which is a major bummer. They may be too much club for my skills, but I ordered the 6/9 Iron demo set of Sub 70's 639 forged cavity backs. Currently playing the Wilson C300s, I know they are going to be quite the shock to my eyes. They are one degree weaker in loft and 1/2" shorter than the C300s (loft jacking + longer club = MOAR distance), so it won't be an apples-to-apples comparison of course. Going to be paying attention to a few things: Would playing a less forgiving iron perhaps help my ball striking in the long run? I haven't had the need to really "improve" my ball striking this year, due in large part to my home course (most holes are driver/wedge) and because the C300s still put the ball out there regardless of where on the face you make contact. Feel of a one-piece forged club vs. cast. Interested in seeing the flight from and feeling the KBS Tours. The Tour 90s are similar profile but I really have never hit anything that was heavier. I suspect a heavier shaft may suit my swing better and help me keep a better tempo. I'm planning on going to get an iron fitting later this year to hit a bunch of different shafts. I've been eyeing some of the different Maltby heads, but I'm right now stuck between wanting to build one of their bigger SGIs (PTMs or TS-2s) or the TE Forged/DBM Forged. Just need to know what shafts cooperate with me the best. Of course, If I absolutely love the Sub 70s maybe I'll just wait to head over to their HQ in Sycamore, Illinois, sometime this winter. Not a long drive from here. If the 699 demos come back into stock before too long, I may jump on them, too. Fun chance for only $20.

Not singling you out but I have always hated this idea. As a QB, throwing to a small target did not increase my accuracy when throwing to receivers when it counted. Throwing to receivers made me more accurate when throwing to receivers. I hear players that tout MB's helping them become better ball strikers because they get lazy or swing too hard with more forgiving irons. Those are justifications for poor mental discipline or why they should play MB's. Every player should use the club that gives them their best chance to hit good golf shots. If that is G410's then learn to hit your G410's to the best of your ability. Or in your case C300's. That said, nothing wrong with experimenting and trying new irons. Maybe a less forgiving iron suits your swing better or simply gives you more confidence.

I guess what I'm after is to see if perhaps I'm better than I think at ball striking (imposter syndrome), or if I really don't have the ability at this point to play a more compact club head. I know from foot spray that I'm pretty consistent in my strike location, but it's not always in the center. Today, for example, I hit five straight 6 irons off the exact same spot on the toe. I like the C300s plenty, but I'm also wanting to switch to something that doesn't have any sort of cavity badging. I've been through enough grief with several warranty replacements for badges flying down range that I don't ever want to deal with them again. In the Sub 70 line, the 699s are probably the best option, for Maltbys the PTMs or TS-2s. And, as you touched on, it's a $20 experiment to try an iron I would otherwise never get to hit.

Popular Post chisag Posted September 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2019 ... OK, I bought a set of Srixon Z Forged irons because I truly needed a new set of irons. I only had 5 sets of Forged Players Irons. It was clear to me I wasn't going to play the Lynx Forged LX irons anytime soon because I am playing P760's and very happy with them. Although if they misbehave I can always put my P790's back in the bag. But in Phoenix the P790's didn't spin enough to hold hard desert greens at altitude so i played my Cobra Forged Tours. And if I am really, really struggling I can always pull out my 588TT's, maybe the most forgiving Players Irons ever made. ... But looking at the pretty picture, I realized needed probably was not the best description. Since I did not have a set of MB's it is more like I should have a set. Hmmmmm, OK, ok maybe should have is a little strong and probably just say they would be a nice addition. Yea that's it, nice addition. But then again I really don't need a less forgiving iron than the small headed P760's so maybe nice should be replaced with un-needed but a welcome addition to go along with the tooooo many iron sets I already own. Yup, when I read that back to myself it was pretty pathetic sounding. ... After an in-depth 5 second consultation with an expert, I think I finally have it. I bought some Z Forged because the last thing I needed was another set of irons. I would like to thank my wife for helping me come up with the appropriate description for What Have You Bought Lately. russtopherb, Grand Stranded, cksurfdude and 8 others 5 6 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Jmikecpa Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Had my fitter build me a 54 and 58 2019 PM grinds with $ Taper 120 shafts in black. I had a demo set from the shop out with me this afternoon while I was out playing with my son and loved them. Was not sure how the 54 would play but it was great on full swings and better than my MD4 sound the green.

I liked what @chisag said with the football analogy, golf is hard no need to make it harder! I was able to drop my handicap a little while gaming the 900 Tours, but I'm not consistent enough with them and I'm trading "down" to something more forgiving. No fairways or hybrids? Where did you go again, Truespec? I WANT DETAILS PLEASE!! Yep, Truespec. Couldn’t do anything to touch the fairways. The M3 may never leave my bag. Hit a bunch of different 5w combos and in the end we could only get to as good as the flash 5w. We did adjust the hosel on mine though. Went -1 and to the D setting scary since my miss is a draw but the upright made a difference in my delivery. I heard somewhere that you have some new irons?? 1 hour ago, edingc said: That's going to be a beast of a bag. I'll love to see your gapping once you get everything settled, and to get your opinion on the Hi-Revs. I assume you play mostly partial shots with those given your driver distance. 919 Hot Metal or Hot Metal Pros? Inquisitive minds what to know. It’s going to be a fun bag that’s for sure. I’m a little worried about the gaping at the bottom as it’s a 6* jump from aw to 56 but if I am able to get 105 out of the 56 it will be what I am looking for. Went 1 degree strong on irons to try to match my current yardages. Cant wait to try them. First time I have hit the hi rev shaft. It was a crazy difference in how easy it was for me to swing. Delivery was perfect every time. I am a tough fit because my iron CHS is no where near what it should be for what my driver CHS is. edingc, Rickp, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote Stealth 2+ 9 (Diamana PD 60 S 45") Stealth 2+ 15 (Diamana PD 70 S 43") G425 19 (Raijin 2.0 85x) G425 22 (Raijin 2.0 85x) ZX7 5-9 (KBS C Taper S) Vokey SM9 45 10 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 49 08 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 55 08 M (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 59 04 T (KBS 610) Spider GT Splitback 34" ProV1 #23 Twitter @THEZIPR23 "One thing Golf has taught me, is that my muscles have no memory."

I figured that if I went for another Mizuno fitting, it's just going to tell me that the 105 stiffs are still the best, plus I like the feel of them. Surely they can't be worse for me than the 900 Tours since they're bigger and more forgiving overall? They'll have to do until I get to somewhere that can do a true custom fit, probably late next year! edingc, mr.hicksta, THEZIPR23 and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMart519 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Got fit for G410 irons with Modus 105 stiff shafts Going to be a nice upgrade over my off the rack 2011 Cobra S3 irons. Anxiously waiting for the phone call they are ready for pickup so I can get a few round in before the season wraps up in Canada.

GolfSpy_BNG Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm really starting to post in this topic too often! I was planning on just finishing the year out without a driver and just using my F85 5 wood. It is 40 yards shorter than driver but at least it is straight. I happened across a m3 440 and a diamana bf and thought why not. According to SWMBO, I have a problem when there is money in my PayPal cuz I can't resist buying golf equipment. LolI also purchased a PXG Gunboat H Gen1 putter. Mainly so after I make a putt I can yell "Kaboom Baby!"

Peaksy68 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Not sure if this really belongs in the “Got Problems” thread but I got myself a pair of pants and a pair of shorts from Loudmouth.
