I have a set of Titleist 962b's in 2-pw.  I'm curious as to how they'd compare to a modern iron?  I own some Callaway Apex Pro 19's.  I know the loft is going to be weaker on the Titleist irons.  I thought about having them bent back to standard and maybe strengthening the loft, regripping,  and then playing them.  They were my first set of irons.  Any thoughts on performance to todays more modern irons?

I wouldn’t strengthen the loft. That’s not what they’re designed to do. The Apex have stronger lofts because they launch higher, so the lower the loft to optimize trajectory. Unless there are odd distance gaps, the standard lofts would work best.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
