I just wanted to see what you guys thought of these Irons? I came across a brand new set for a really good deal. They have the Dynamic Gold S300 Stiff shafts in them.

I don't think very many people play them. Not because they're not good, but because they're very specific models and they're usually a bit more pricy and require a lot of digging to find them.

I've never played anything but DG S300 shafts. They're great.

So how are they?

They are great! I seriously am in love with them! I thought I hit the ball good with my other irons, wow these are amazing. The only downfall to these irons are that I am EVEN longer than before! Here are my new distances. I played in VA this past weekend with them ( 2 days after I got them). I shot my best score since I have been back after 6 years. I shot 81 saturday and 80 sunday. I used a 3 iron of the tee since my driver busted. Here are my new distances with these irons. They are on average 20 yards longer than my previous irons. I personally felt like I was way to long before. I will have to purchase a gap wedge now. I have eliminated my 3 wood being as i hit the 3-iron as far as I did my 3-wood and I have ALOT more control with the irons. I even picked up a vokey 60degree with this set.

PW (160) 9 iron (170) 8 iron (180) 7 iron (190) 6 iron (200) 5 iron (210) 4 iron (225) 3 iron (230-250)

Yeah, so if we were playing that card game, I'd be yelling "bullshit" right about now.

20 yards longer than your previous irons? Were your previous irons made out of plastic? Cuz if not...

I will see if I can get in on film during my next lesson. I was playing yonex ADX tours with graphite shafts. I honestly thought they were long. I was trying to tone my distances down with my other clubs, then once I got this I just kind of accepted that I was hitting the ball these distances.

there is a chance, that the lofts of the irons are different by let's say 2 or 3deg vs. the old ones. It still sounds a little streched to get 20 yds

If there are any members in the raleigh area, I can meet them somewhere for a range session and will bring both sets of irons. I was hitting the yonex 9 iron 150 yards . I am hitting the titleist 9 iron 170. The only clubs that stayed the same are the 6 and the 5. I gained around 5 yards on each of those.

Nobody said you're a liar - it's just sounds incredible to gain so much distance... Especially since Yonex's 9irons are 40deg loft and Titleist standard loft for 9i is 43 deg.... if anything you should see decrease of distance. Maybe the graphite shafts you had in the old set was a real crap

Sounds like a stretch to hit a PW 160

I know, thats what my dad said when I told him. I honestly am swinging VERY VERY smooth and easy. It amazed me too. Here are the titleists specs. I couldnt find the yonex anywhere.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
