jlukes 12,692 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?

wbealsd 1,063 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. 2 Quote What's In The Bag Driver Titleist 913 D2 10.5* (set to 9.75* / Neutral) 46" Paderson KINETIXX Kevlar Green - R Fairway Wood Tom Wishon 949 MC 16.5* Fujikura Speeder 569-A Hybrid Hibore 22* Aldila VS Proto Blue Irons G series 5-P Wedges Glide 54* SS / 60* TS - SCOR 53* Putter Nike Method 001 / P2 Reflex grip 35" Ball Master Grip Tour C4 Bag Datrek DG Lite Link to post Share on other sites

Midasman 1 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. Midas Quote Cally ZR Maruman 3 and 5 Ping I 15's Cleveland 52/56 Odyssey Link to post Share on other sites

I'm willing to try anything the fitter recommends, but the Z545's are what's motivating me to setup the fitting. Those (545) are such awesome irons. Both in looks and performance. They came very close to being in my bag. 1 Quote TSi2 Kuro Kage 50g R Flex TSi2 16.5 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft G410 FW 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Heppler Tomcast ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites

I do know that it will be very hard to replace my SCORs, but they will try... Hope you do a writeup on the wedges when you get them. 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. 1 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 49F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites

MD3 wedges seem to be feast or famine with most of my buddies. They either loved them or hated them. Maybe pick up a used one of ebay or CPO and try it out before you make the plunge and swap out your entire set? 1 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 49F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites

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.

jlukes 12,692 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! 1 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 49F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites
