Ever heard of Google?

I read that a good time ago before there was much for comments. Sorry for not making it my homepage and religiously checking to see if any new comments were posted.

Good grief - what raw nerve has been exposed here? My comment was related to your question "Would they be considered a "blade" or are they one of those combo irons that use a little bit of both?" My point was that with a few keystrokes you could find out, rather than asking for a whole bunch of "opinions" about what, surely, is a relatively objective topic.

Well you should really find a better way of making your point. "Have you ever heard of Google?" is seen as a smartass way to say something over here. I apologize if it's different over there, but a lot of people would take offense to that if they heard it.

I'm sorry for getting upset, just watch that next time.

They have. Try out the Cleveland CG-Red or Callaway x-20 tour. IMHO, the CGred is closer to a players club and x20 tour is closer to a GI, but..

INMHO, X20 tour plays like a plyer club with forgiveness for mis-hit that gives me a fair feedback, so probably is in between two genres.

Workability is up for definition, no? Most good golfers work the ball to a certain area of the course. I don't know anyone who says, "Well, I teed up, I'm going to hit it straight." Andulations, slope of the green, traps, doglegs, trees, etc., dictate whether you're going left, right, hitting a ball lower, higher. I don't think every golfer

I consider trajectory and short game to be part of that issue also. I chose my irons because I could knock them down fairly easily. Also the slightly thinner sole gives me more options, our turf varys from soggy to rock hard. I fade or draw the ball only minimally unless hitting a recovery shot.

That's the next thing I'm putting in my hands when I go back to the golf shop. AP1s were good. But I'm excited about trying those next.

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
