For me personally, I feel more comfortable using a 0.370 hand reamer than sanding down the shaft tips, feels like the hand reamer is harder to screw up.

Sorry and not singling you out, but this has always been a pet peeve of mine. Unless you are just mentally lazy, playing the most forgiving clubs you can effectively play is always your best option. You get better by making better swings with better contact. Clubs are designed to do certain things well and IF you grow into GI's from SGI's and PI's from GI's as a natural progression of how you swing, there is certainly nothing wrong with that. If you are hitting your GI irons too high or with too much spin but making excellent contact, it might be a good idea to move into a PI that allows more control. ...

But skipping ahead and thinking playing more difficult to hit irons will make you a better ball striker is completely backwards thinking. We can see with the advent of Players Distance irons that are more forgiving that quite a few playing something like a Titleist Forged 620 CB moving to T100-S or even T100 with great results, which of course is moving in the opposite direction from more difficult to hit to more forgiving. Golf is an extremely difficult game to play and making it easier, not harder is always a good idea. that really makes sense. Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate it as I thought opposite.

Unless you are just mentally lazy, playing the most forgiving clubs you can effectively play is always your best option. You get better by making better swings with better contact. Clubs are designed to do certain things well and IF you grow into GI's from SGI's and PI's from GI's as a natural progression of how you swing, there is certainly nothing wrong with that. If you are hitting your GI irons too high or with too much spin but making excellent contact, it might be a good idea to move into a PI that allows more control. ...
