null Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've been striking my irons pretty well overall, but still can't get the Srixons I hit at the PGA show the past two years out of my mind. Setup the 2nd Swing Tour Van iron fitting for next Tuesday morning! Awesome! Which model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbealsd Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Z545 irons are the ones I hit at the show, but I'm open to trying the Z355's, as well. I'm willing to try anything the fitter recommends, but the Z545's are what's motivating me to setup the fitting. null and Golfspy_CG2 2 Quote What's In the Bag Driver - GBB Hybrids Halo XL Halo 18* & T-Rail 20* Irons T-Rail 2.0 Wedges 60* TS / SCOR 48* 53* 58* Putter Ball Bag Datrek DG Lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midasman Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thinking of upgrading my Ping I 15's which have been wonderful clubs to the new Ping I irons. Going to try out this weekend. Has anybody else swapped between the two? would be interested to hear your comments.

I went to their site and to learn more about their construction but the information is extremely limited (other than that they only come in 52, 56, and 60* (with 12,10,8 degrees of bounce respectively) and each wedge has a heel and toe grind. fozcycle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD3 wedges seem to be feast or famine with most of my buddies. They either loved them or hated them.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm thinking about swapping my SM5 wedges for some MD3's not sure if I want to make the jump or not. I've never hit the SM5's So I can't compare them to my SM6, but those that I know that have hit both, said the jump in improvement from the SM5 to SM6 is astounding. And I haven't hit the MD3 either, to be fair.

null Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Just thinking about the Sun Mountain 2Five I was selected to tested for the forum. Excited to see how much lighter it feels than my Three5. The Three5 weighs just about 4 lbs, so that would make the 2Five almost 1.5 lbs lighter! fozcycle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly Golf Guy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Apex 3h or 4h. I'm not getting along with my J15 3h but am loving my Apex 5h, so want to get a lower loft Apex while my Heavenwood will take over all 3h duties for that distance. The problem is I like the J15 a lot and am hoping my swing comes around with it.

The 850 forged is probably the least forgiving of the bunch. Distance is extremely similar with all 3. Rsi2s performed just as good as the 545s, but the 545s felt better.
