hybdrid: XM1 24°
irons: XM1 (5-PW)
wedges: x-forged 56°

Why not just get the X-20's then? I've heard great things about them. If price is an issue, give the X-18's a try. I hear they're pretty forgiving and won't cost you quite as much as the X-20's.

hi all,

As far as playability and forgiveness, I would recommend three sets.

1. Cobra Irons 2. Ping G10s 3. Adams A3 The adams would be my choice, but that is a personal preference. But I really like all 3. In fact when I decided on my irons, The X-20s were in the mix too. I settled on the Adams clubs at the end. All are great clubs. Most of the golf magazines and review sites have the reviews up on all of them. Most pick the Adams at or near the top of this category.

i'd highly recommend the Cobra irons. They really have been stepping their performance up. If not that, then i'd stick with Taylormade's r7's.


Im a bigger fan of both those irons over the x-20's.

My X-20's are 1 week old tomorrow after special ordering a set. I love them....I did try out the fol and found them all pretty close to being the same:
Ping G10
Titleist AP1
TM Tour Burner

Also tried some mizuno's but chickened out...they were close but the G10s and AP1s were close runner-ups.
"pond would be good for me..."

In my Sun Mountain speed cart bag:
R7 425 Driver
Hawkeye 3W aka 'old faithful' Rescue Dual 2H or Orlimar 5W X-Series 3H X-20 4-AW Vokey SW Anser PRO-V1

I have x-18's. I got them after testing the X-20's too. They both play almost identically, and there isn't enough difference to justify the cost difference.

3-Wood: 904f 15*
2- Hybrid: 18* Heavenwood

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
