cnosil Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 As a most wanted tester I have the opportunity to hit list every club on the market. While I don’t get to pick specific shafts for those clubs I feel like my performance doesn’t get any better with SGI clubs. I typically buy used and generally find that more players clubs are available with the shafts I prefer to play. bens197, sirchunksalot, PMookie and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: TM-180 Testing: Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bens197 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Confirmation bias is also a significant factor in how people select equipment.

Wedgie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 My bag pretty much looks just like the OP. Shaved 5 strokes of my handicap when I switched to the Launchers from Mizuno Hot Metal irons. I don't care what my clubs look like or what people think and I really don't care what other people play. I went to True Spec to get fit for new irons and they couldn't beat the Launchers. Not that I haven't flirted with other clubs since I started with the Launchers but nothing has been close to beating these for me.

NRJyzr Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) For me, it's pretty simple. The irons in my bag are the ones I score best with. There's no ego junk involved, I would actually prefer playing something more durable, like older 17-4 Pings. But, it's hard to argue with the results I've gotten over the last 19 seasons. Have a friend who has G series Pings (I think they're the G20), he's had me hit them several times. I could probably play those in the longest irons, but the short and mid irons give me funky results. I've seen balloons with an 8 iron in little wind, for example (the old classic upshoot). The Ping ISI that I absolutely wanted to work, came with the DGX I was playing at the time, gave me squirrelly results on mishits. I tend to miss heel side, and I'd get weird leaks out to the right on those misses. Not just the ISI, it's been common for me with most of the CBs I've played. Not quite SGI, but I bought a set of TM TP MC (2011) irons from Brother Chisag. They're great in the long irons, the 3 and 4 for sure, and maybe the 5i, but the rest of them don't work as well as my MP37s or Golden Rams. It's really only the 3 iron that is better for me, and even that is largely a distance thing; I hit the MC 3i a bit farther than my MP37 3i or Golden Ram 2i (essentially same club). So I play blades. <shrug> Edited April 22, 2020 by NRJyzr braincramp 1 Quote Driver: TM Original One 11.5* set to 11*, Aldila NV75 X, 43.5" -or- SpeedZone, HZRDUS Black 75 6.5, 43.5" 3w: Cobra King LTD, RIP Beta 90, 42" -or- Stage 2 Tour, NV105 X, 42.5" 2h or 3h: TaylorMade Stage 2 Tour, Aldila NV105 S -or- RIP Alpha 105 S Irons: 3-PW Mizuno MP37, Recoil Proto 125 F4 (reshaft in progress, slowly); 1i & 3-PW Golden Ram TW276, NV105 S; 2-PW Golden Ram TW282, RIP Tour 115 R GW: Dynacraft Dual Milled CNC 52*, Steelfiber 125 S; Scratch 8620 DS 53*, Steelfiber 125 S SW: Ram TG-898 56*, DGX ss2x; Ram Tom Watson 55*, DGX ss2x; Wilson Staff PMP 58*, DGS; PM Grind 19 58*, stock shaft Putter: Snake Eyes Viper Tour Sv1, 34"; Ping Scottsdale TR Craz-E, 35"; Cleveland Huntington Beach 1, 35" Ball: Wilson Staff Duo Professional, Bridgestone Tour B-RXS, Callaway Chrome Soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowNLow Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 At age 30 (1990) took lessons and upon advice of teacher started playing blades (Haig-Ultras) to improve feedback. Maybe made sense then, I was single, had a lot of time to practice and play, wanted to improve, etc. Used "players" clubs until last spring at age 59 (2019) when I got a set of Srixon Z565s. "Closest To The Pin" winnings have improved dramatically. Last summer I was standing over the ball ready to hit my Srixon Z565 7 iron on a par 3 and suddenly I felt something weird,..... relaxed. fozcycle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooremikea Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 On longer irons like a 5 and 4 SGI irons would really help my game. The problem that I run into is the amount of offset. When a club has too much offset and not much loft it does not look like the ball is going to get in the air. Technically this is not true but I have not been able to get past that and if I could it would improve my score overall.

Hook DeLoft Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Unfortunately, my swing doesn't get along with wide-soled irons. I say unfortunately, because I could really benefit from the higher launch and forgiveness of SGI's. The perfect iron for me would launch like a Ping G iron with a ton of offset and a narrow sole. I've yet to find one like that, other than the Ping Eye 2. In fact, if Ping re-introduced the Eye 2 with modern lofts, I would buy them in a heart beat. BTW, I have owned a lot of big framed irons in search of forgiveness: Ping G10, G15, G30, G. Titleist AP1. I always end up going back to irons with thinner soles.

Grand Stranded Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Everyone's golf bag is their personal "toolbox". Most people who post on a golf website care enough about their game to make sure they have tools that work best for them. I used to worry about having a bag that looked like I had a bit of "player" in me, but those days are gone. I'm in my 60's now, and I want as much help as I can get. I play the strongest lofted irons on the market (Rogue X) for a couple of reasons. They go long, high, and straight. I like the look at setup, and the help they give me when my game is a LITTLE off. They aren't magic wands that turn a bad swing into a good shot, but I know they've helped me out there a lot more on the course than my Apex irons did. I recently snapped the shaft on my G400 max driver, and because of everything going on now, I can't send it to PING for another Alta shaft, so I bought the Cobra Xtreme, and it is just as forgiving, and a little bit longer. I finally took my trusty old Yes! Tracy putter out, and I think I've settled on a PING Tyne over Odyssey double wide. Again, more forgiving. If there is one more change I might make, it will be replacing my 52* with a CBX wedge. Long story short... fill your personal toolbox with what YOU like, and what works best for YOU. It's your bag, after all.

Looks are in the eye of the beholder, I like them better, how can you say worse dispersion, that is one of the top reasons for GI and SGI irons next to distance (but vice a versa to me), also easier to get in the air i.e. flight.
