Well during my lesson last night i mentioned that I was looking at the new g10's. Pro said she didnt think I needed such an improvement club after watching me hit for a bit(first lesson). Coincidentally Cobra(who she is repped by) was having a members only demo day. She walked over and grabbed a few and brought them over for me to hit...they were the game improvement models and I didnt likethem at all. Purposely I hit it on the toe and got almost zero response from the club head. They just fetlt bad for me She kept handing me different models of improvement clubs and I couldnt believe how unresponsive they are for me.

She then slid in a club, I was hitting these without looking at the brand or model, that lookede real goodat adress. A little smaller head at adress and a slimmer top line. PURE, felt great, like nothing I have ever hit in an iron. She made me hit a couple more before I looked at what it was...Freaking AP2. Another pro who is my height hits them and she wanted me to see what something more along the lines of a player club felt like. And the big draw/hook I sometimes went away when I was hitting them. She said it COULD have been from all the weight in the toe of my Ping's. They are getting the fitting cart next week so I can put everything on the board and monitor. I am going to hit them today at Golfsmith...it is off a mat at Golfsmith but better than nothing.

Good luck. I'm in a serious debate with myself whether I should make a move like this as well. I would try both APs and don't discount the Ping i10 or i5. They could be options.

I am a titleist junkie, a little biased i guess, but these AP irons are awsome!!! I work at a driving/lesson/fitting/practice facility and have seen numerous folks make the switch to the AP irons.

Funny you should say that. I'm hoping to hit Players Irons in front of the pro I take lessons from before making a decision. Similar to you, the Game Improvement irons just turned me off.

Jeff where are you taking lessons? If you don't mind me asking.

Grey Rock...formerly Circle C.

I hit the AP2's again this morning at Golfsmith and they are just as smooth as I thought and felt yesterday. I hit the 1's just for the heck of it. They look and feel like a good comproise between a true player club and a super improvement club. For me I think I will quickly grow into the 2's.

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      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.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      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.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      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.)
