Anyone have transition issiues with distance and feel when going from sgi to players cavitys irons. Just curious played first round today and had some sweet shots and some sweet mistakes but the feel and response was great. Need to re learn distance as my old 7 iron is more like my new 6 iron and shafts are standard lenght wheres my old shafts or iron set were a bit longer from manufacter but control is so much better. Hope to get under control again tommrow

Sounds like you have felt the distance between the two clubs and rightly noticed a couple of differences.

The sgi clubs will typically differ in distance, especially if you have a little less weight on the bottom of the player's cavity backs and catch them a little thin.  They will go a mile further!

Also, when you hit your new clubs toward the heel or the toe of the club face you should lose a lot more distance than you did on your off center hits on the sgi clubs.

On a different note altogether...sounds like you should really drop the 25 bucks and at least get fit for the irons you are going to play with.  The length of the club and the lie of the irons should be adjusted for your current posture and play.  I don't know anyone who would hope to improve and enjoy the process with clubs that are not at least the right length! It doesn't cost much and the sweet shots would be much more common!

Most big box golf stores (Golf Galaxy to name one) will take about 30 minutes and measure your swing and make some recommendations. If you are really a 10 handicap, you are ready to get clubs that fit you.

What new clubs did you get?

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.

      No disrespect felt, but since you did apologize you can disrespect once in the future with no guilt.

      So do a few thousand others. 😉 Something like 14 players born in any year will have PGA Tour status for 3+ years. What drew you to this? He's not from where you live, right? Family friend?
