Have you gone to a brand-neutral iron fitting?

Wanting to purchase some new Irons,Considering Tour Edge Hot Launch,anyone have any feedback on these clubs?

Are you thinking about the C series or the E series? 

I've been known to put an E series 6 iron and 5 iron in my bag on occasion when I'm not hitting the ball work a pile of spit. 

The C series is almost as much help without looking like a hybrid. 

My experience with the Tour Edge Hot Launch Irons has been positive. I would say the only risk is that you may out grow them if you start playing really well. They are giant shovels at the end of a stick. So they are easy to hit, but pretty much one-trick-ponies. The other thing I'd suggest you consider is the C series is great off the fairway or off a mat, but it struggles out of the rough. It is literally just so big it hits every blade of grass and that can slow it down and or turn the head in the rough. The E series on the other hand had a sole that designed to cut through the rough and it actually works quite well off pretty much any lie. 

They aren't designed for feel or workability, they are designed to hit the ball high and straight and they pretty much do what it says on the tin. One caution, if you are a person who doesn't like hybrids, you won't like the E series.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I have heard, and read, similar comments.  I have a friend that started golfing last year and bought the E series.  He likes them, but he plays about 5 times a year and is lucky to shoot 120.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
