Shankster Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Excellent write up! I would agree with you about the offset as well. Thanks. Have a lot of time invested in this. It's tough to evaluate these things. Have countless hours of note taking, photo sessions, playing, more notes. Comparing notes... probably took up more time than my "real" job. But a helluva lot more fun! - Alan poprocksncoke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Stopped by the range after work. 10-12mph tail wind I was carrying the 7 iron out to the 225 mark.

STUDque Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Great Stage 2 Shanks. Love the honesty.

But there is the pic of the 7 iron vs the 3 iron in the Q & A for TSauer for now. I only have the 4 and 5 iron right now. Just sent the 3 iron back. I'll get some of the face height compared to my gamer long irons too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommc23 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Looks great man its nice to see that your distances are similar to mine.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Shankster, had to read your Stage 2 in two parts. Very well done, I love the depth and honesty of your comments. That's what we expect and hope for on MGS and you delivered. I like how you incorporated the videos and your pictures as usual were phenomenal. I know how much work goes into a well done review, and really apprieciate the effort int this one. I tried a friends I 200's a couple weeks ago on the range. I also found them very unforgiving for my 17 index swing. Lots of mishits, which ok are my fault not the clubs, but the results were drastically different than with my current Srixons.
