Can't wait to hit them! Got me some different balls to try as well for the upcoming season...oh wait the Joys of Okinawa its golf season year round supposed to be mid/low 70s all week! Also picked up a TM superfast 47" Fubuki 73x Stiff...hit it today and I hit it straighter than i was my other drivers that were 2 inches shorter along with what looked like a much better ball flight and more distance for sure

Terrible move. Now you have no excuses if your game falls apart



But seriously, I just redid my setup...If I would redo it with something else, your setup is pretty close to perfect. Can't wait for some impressions.

WOW!!! That's a beautiful looking bag. I think the SC is a great finishing touch. I just picked up X-forged irons, however those were my second pick.

.......wow.......

I pay the same cost as everyone else....only no taxes.

47" lol...

Not cheaper, I'm Enlisted Active Duty Airforce...hardly rich. I dont have to pay sales tax though.

The irons were pretty expensive...near $1000...Ping wanted like 30 bux a club upcharge for that shaft...I would have went with the KBS stock shaft but when I was demoing shafts I just kept going back to this PX although I never would have guessed this. The wedges were around $100 a piece and everybody knows what balls cost...luckily I had a bunch of spare clubs to sell to offset the purchase. Sold a used set of callaway wedges for $150, sold my I15 5-PW for $320, sold my Mizuno MX 300 5-GW with MP CLK 4 hybrid for $325 yesterday, Sold my G-15 driver for $160 last week....so that offset the cost greatly. I snagged the driver off ebay at a decent price...the rest of my clubs were straight from PING. As for the driver...yesterday was my 2nd range session with it...and just like the first session its much easier for me to hit than my G15 and 909D2...wouldnt have guessed it with the shaft length but I did choose a heavier shaft than in my Titleist and it has a good feel to it and appears to be easily a longer clubs distance wise as well. I'll save comments for how the irons hit until later on today after I go to the course and hit off the grass...hard to tell much hitting off a all mat driving range. Thanks for the good words guys!

Played 6 rounds with these since I've gotten them. Started off with 2 nine hole rounds to get a feel for these on the course as our range is all mats...round 3-6 were within the last 6 days...shot 83 83 86 80...my 86 was a horrible putting day (39 putts) but hit half of the GIR. 82 was my best since on island until today and that with was my I15's...never shot below 84 with my Mizunos and 3 of 6 rounds were 83 or better...both 83's were from the whites and their course ratings and slopes wer figured into my handicap and today's 80 was from the blue tees White=6369 yards 69.7 course rating and 120 slope....Blue=6714 yards 71.3 course rating and 122 slope.

Todays round was going great started out with 5 pars...then hit one OB right on 6 along with a 3 putt for a tripple bogie....7 i hit a good one 220 into a par 5 hit a 4 iron that I dont know what happened on and hit it right over the fence into oncoming traffic haha! ended in a bogie and par'ed 9...#10 a 592 yard par 5 dog leg left was a messy hole for me even thought I hit the fairway I played the hole like garbage and ended up with bogie...bogied 11 and 12....birdied 13 with a 12 foot putt to calm the bleeding...missed a 12 footer for birdie on 14...missed a 3 foot putt for par on 15 and par'ed 16, 17, 18 for my back 9 39...front was a 41. Went to a local Japanese golf store afterwards to get my Cameron adjusted from stock lie to 3 degrees flat...was supposed to be 71 degree lie stock it was 71.5 and supposed to be 4 degrees loft stock and it was 3 degrees...I left the length alone, got the lie to 68 degrees and left the loft at 3 degress. Also chopped my Superfast TP Taylormade driver to 45" and had a New Decade multicomound grip put on...came back to the course and hit some putts....lookin forward to hitting some drivers as I had 1.5" chopped off my driver. I had my club head speed checked while i was there....it averaged 111 mph.

This thread is about the irons...these feel equally if not more fogiving that my MX300 Mizunos I had...They feel more acurate and more constistant for sure...I'll get back afte rmore rounds played.

Any new thoughts on the S56's?Β  Im considering getting them myself.Β  I just demo'd a set for 2 rounds and really liked them.Β  As advertised, they set up like a blade but are easier to hit than most blades.Β  Plus, as your pics show, they are really sweet looking clubs.Β  I would be switching from i5's so im a little concerned that the S56's willΒ be difficult to hit, but based on my demo rounds, thats not the case.Β  Didnt have any issues drawing the ball (for some reason I was under the impression that blades would be harder to draw).Β  In fact, as I currently do with my i5's, I fought a slight low hook with the long irons (4 & 5).Β  I think I got a few extra yards with them vs. the i5's also.Β  Probably because of the lower ball flight.

Anyway, looking forward to any thoughts you or any other S56 owners might have.
