Well, it’s a difference of 3/4”. If you like how it feels and hit it well...If it feels odd you could always grip down a bit. Otherwise just have at it! -

A suggestion but this would require you to have somebody you trust as a caddie. When you ask for a 4 or 6 iron, they would give you a 5 iron and you wouldn't check the number at the bottom of the club. It seems entirely psychological to me and after a few rounds you should be OK. The other option is to go to a range and just hit a couple of hundred balls with the 5 iron only. Nothing else. Hopefully muscle memory will improve the strike -
Day 177 Mevo arrived today! Last few UPS delivery attempts have been delayed by local demonstrations, so I wasn't sure it was going to come in today or not. I kind of jumped right into setting it up and swinging. I was hitting with my 7-iron and was getting some really bizarre carry and spin numbers - like 190-200 yards carry and 2300 rpm. Then I realized that the I had driver selected for the club, which must have been influencing the algorithm. Once I switched to 7-iron, the numbers seemed to align pretty well with what I see on the launch monitor in my lessons - 160-165 carry, 6000-7000 rpm. Now I just need to start figuring out the best way to use the Mevo for practice. -
Day 156 - June 2, 2020 Full swing work plus a good bit of short game. -
I don't know how to hit my 5-iron. I cannot find the middle of that club to save my life. I gave up on it and either go aggressively after a 6 or lay off a 4. I am baffled why I am so much more comfortable with a 4-iron in my hands. Me and my 3-wood have a little conversation whenever it first comes out of the bag in a round that goes a little like this. "Ok, I don't like you and you don't like me. But this isn't about us. We both have a job to do here and let's not let it get personal today." The ensuing shot usually tells me whether or not it's worth bringing out again for the day.
