I am considering a set of used G5 irons at my local golf shop. They are orange dot (2* flat) regular flex steel shafts (stock Ping) 5-Pw, Aw, & Sw. That's 8 irons. The 5 iron has been shortened 1/4" and the PW as well (don’t know why). I've glanced them over once, not knowing how cheap they were, and they are in very good condition. I'll give Ping one thing, unless you absolutely dog their irons they stay in good shape in the bag. They were fitted for a 14 year old boy who has now outgrown them. The kid has them on consignment and only wants..... $150 !!

I do need regular flex, and with a relatively flat swing and 5'9" in height I've played red dots before and didn't see much difference if any. So I don't think the orange dot would be too flat for me. Anyway, I'm going to check these out in a few hours before the store closes. I'm tempted to buy them on the spot without hitting them. The weather here is tooo cold to hit (29* and snow flurries). The weather is not set to break until Sunday (48*) and I don't want to pass on a good set off shovel irons. I hate to move back from players irons but at this price, I'm thinking' I could use a little game improvement.

In your opinions, assuming I like what the irons do for my game, should I buy or not buy. And how hard would it be to get the specs tweaked should I decide I need to later?

Thanks all. I'll be checking back several times over the next 3 or 4 hours.

i would go for it if you want it, i mean.. only 150 thats a really good deal. Also if you hit them for a session and realize you dont like them that much, then you can always resell for 150 or maybe even higher

Get them, if you dont like them you can probably sell them for like $300 or something like that.

Yessir!

However, ask them if they will break up the set, i never could get a liking for ping wedges, and seeing you are a vokey guy, i doubt you will either. see if they will sell for maybe, 100, jus the 5-PW.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.
