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.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
