Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted July 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2020 ...So... I finally got the combo set out on the track this morning. Goodness!, and this is a guy who currently plays the straight up PtxPro’s. I didn’t play a round, but rather played around, just to try getting a grasp of what this Combo set brings. I also got the Recoil f-4 Stiff graphite shafts, vs the V-Tour steel shafts. I didn’t have a 4 iron in the old PtxPro set, I was just using an old hybrid. Now I have the 22° 4 UiHi in the combo set. I started on the back 9 to stay out of the way, so I could just mess about. First hole I decided to open up with the 4UiHi off the tee box, hoping for around 180. But I got this... haha, right?

bens197 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I believe that this deserves some attention so please bear with me...when looking for a set of irons, one of the most important things I look at is how it sits at address. Seems important right? So many manufacturers dwell on the cavity cosmetics while we rarely see the focus on how the club truly sets up. While I wait until Thursday for new grips to arrive, I was admiring the PW from the combo set and it really is gorgeous. The Ft. Worth head had a rounded profile while the Icon has a straight leading edge and a boxed out toe. ncwoz, edingc, artful_golfer and 6 others 8 1 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

Sluggo42 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Shot a round today, but didn’t really have a shiney iron day at all. But I scored well thanks to 3 birdies and a good back 9. But the Hogan Equalizer wedges played well... go figure. But I decided to hit a bucket after the round and kinda got the feel back. But that 8 iron icon was pretty tight today. It’s soooo soft. Thinking back on it, I ended up with a +4, 75. While I am busy complaining about a poor iron striking day, it occurs to me that I was still on the greens, or close enough for the up and downs. And the Icons (short irons) were actually pretty decent, I guess it’s just the longer irons weren’t as tight as I’d hoped. but, going from kbs 110g steels, to 85g graphite’s, it makes sense that my first round isn’t going to be perfect... Cadillac problems right?

I'm gonna see if the pressure makes them harder to hit!! Wish me luck!

Well the sound off the face is super dull, and they just explode off the face. They seem to go a bit higher then my ap2s and I'm not missing left, but that might be the shaft seeing that it is a kbs tour v x- stiff compared to my ap2s with 7.0 flighted rifle shafts. I've yet to hit the 4 iron any good, (or of the 3 I've hit) so hard to say. The five iron feels good. They seem to go a bit farther, 10 yardsish for my pitching wedge. But they are 1 degree less loft. Except the 4 iron which is 2 degrees less. I have a bit of a toe shot going with 4 and 5 irons and when that happens, you can definitely tell where the ball hit the face. Aka short and vibrating.
