Hi guys,

Got a question. I'm about a 15-16 handicap currently hitting Ping G5 irons which I like, but after hitting a friends Callaway razr x hl's thought I should change to a more forgiving club like the Callaway's. I found the Callaways for $300 and ordered them, then noticed that they are made of aluminum and alloy instead of steel. Is this a concern? The more I read, it seems like the Pings are better constructed and higher quality. I guess what I'm asking is....are the Callaway's more forgiving than and really provide any more advantage than the Pings? Thanks!

You may be referring to the MULTIMATERIAL MEDALLION on the back of each HL iron.

Quote:

"Constructed of aluminum and thermoplastic polyurethane, it (medallion) fine-tunes sound and enhances feel off the clubface."

I phoned a Callaway rep today, and he said the contact portion of the clubhead is cast steel.

For several years, club manufacturers have used multiple metals and alloys within their iron and wedge heads. Polymer inserts are a related feature.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
