On this hole I play the drive on purpose in the left rough to take the water in front and all along the right side of green out of play. Doing this I’m hitting the iron out of light/medium Bermuda rough and trying to hit left front of green and roll ball somewhere near pin, Worked today. 2 of the foursome ended up in the water from the right side of the fareway. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I get it, we have a hole like that on my course. I am for the rough too, to take water, bunkers and two ditches out of play. The reason why I asked is because I cannot get more than about 2ft of release with ANY of my clubs. A few days ago, I hit a 6 iron into a par 5 and had about 2 ft of release to the hole. I have learned with these clubs I have to hit pretty close to the number. sirchunksalot and Rickp 2 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: TSi3 Hzdrs Smoke X flex Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4’ lie difference has me changing my swing and ball placement. I’ve lost some height and trying to get some consistency.

GregB135 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 They're He-eere!!!! Arrived this morning and we were at the driving range/course within the hour. Initially warming up it took me a few swings to get the feel for the setup and takeaway with the different lie angle. I got out on the course and first hole was a GIR with the U-wedge from about 115. From there it was still a bit of feeling them out but by the time I got to the back 9 I was really comfortable making aggressive full swings. I'm still adjusting my eye to these at setup with the slightly large club head and a little more offset. It took backing off a couple of shots and verifying the club face was square to the target line and then building my setup from there. Then just believing the setup was square and swinging through. Ball flight was not noticeably higher than the Hogan or Mizuno sets I'm comparing. My misses today were mostly just hangers out to the right, and only one of my trademark monster hooks. I was able to sneak that quick warm-up and round in before work so it was a quick first effort. I'll have a chance to give them a more detailed workout later in the week. edingc, Golfspy_CG2, sirchunksalot and 5 others 7 1 Quote Driver: 311XF Gen5, Tensei CK Pro Orange, S flex Fariway: 311XF Gen6 3-Wood, Tensei Blue 55g R flex Hybrid: 211, 3H Project X Evenflow H, 80g, 5.5 TSR2 4H, Tensei Blue R (Forum Tester) Irons: T200 2023, Tensei Blue R (Forum Tester), 5-GW Wedges: CBX2 Zipcore 52*, 56* Project X Catalyst Spinner Graphite Shaft Putter: ER2 Murdered Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to re-check the specs but these are 2* upright (Blue dot) and 3/4" longer than standard. The Mizzy set was 1/2" long but I'm pretty sure with standard lie angles. The Hogan set was standard/standard. So the un-researched guess is just 2* more upright. Early on on the range that meant leaving a lot of shots right. But as I got comfortable with the setup I was hitting just about everything down the line.

GregB135 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Got in another round yesterday.Focusing on ball flight here is what I noticed. Still not significantly higher than my other irons. The ball dis seem to hold its peak height a little longer though.I had a couple of shots in the round that I knew were just flushed and those had about a 1 to 1 1/2 clubs worth of distance gain. I had another couple of shots that just hung out right rather than turning over into my typical draw, and not losing much of the target yardage. Looking at the club on those shots I saw contact out near the toe.The longer irons did give me a little more hook than draw, at least for now I’ll accuse the increased offset as the culprit (I know the swing has as much guilt to share though).I’ve got a lesson booked early next week to help fine tune the swing to the lie angle setup.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy fixyurdivot, Rickp, StrokerAce and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: 311XF Gen5, Tensei CK Pro Orange, S flex Fariway: 311XF Gen6 3-Wood, Tensei Blue 55g R flex Hybrid: 211, 3H Project X Evenflow H, 80g, 5.5 TSR2 4H, Tensei Blue R (Forum Tester) Irons: T200 2023, Tensei Blue R (Forum Tester), 5-GW Wedges: CBX2 Zipcore 52*, 56* Project X Catalyst Spinner Graphite Shaft Putter: ER2 Murdered Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not significantly higher than my other irons. The ball dis seem to hold its peak height a little longer though. I had a couple of shots in the round that I knew were just flushed and those had about a 1 to 1 1/2 clubs worth of distance gain.

I have noticed I am having a hard time too hitting a draw. The one thing though is these clubs are pretty damn straight! gregh729 and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: TSi3 Hzdrs Smoke X flex Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My observation as well. For the first few weeks, I had some extended pauses picking a club from the quiver... whilst I did some math in my head. Being long more often was a goal I had set prior to getting the G410's - and these have helped.

I have noticed I am having a hard time too hitting a draw. The one thing though is these clubs are pretty damn straight! Standard loft profile on mine. There was some tweaking of the shaft choices during the fitting to try to avoid the ball flight getting too high. My normal ball flight is usually a draw/almost hook. A lot of my lesson time has been focusing on path and face control to make it more predictable and to lessen the over-draw tendency. So far I haven't seen a huge change to ball flight with the 410s. I was really impressed though when the toe hit shot that usually results in the weak push about a club short of target carried all the way to the target distance.

Rickp Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Played Friday “Bacon Boys” on one of the toughest Executives.The trend continued, 5, 6 and even 7 not performing like I’m used to BUT the 8, 9, and wedges are higher and slightly longer.Going to range over the weekend and pit my previous 6i against the G410 6i. Tried to get a lesson booked but nothing available for next few weeks with the Snowbird Flock in full form. Hoping to get a cancellation with the Teaching Pro I trust.Maybe the Lie angle needs adjusting on the longer irons?Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy sirchunksalot, ole gray and GregB135 3 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
