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.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.
