Anyway, they are drop dead gorgeous!

Before that, I had Macgreggor MT pro M blades, (my son is now playing them), and they are pretty easy on the eyes also...



Those are pretty nice ^^^

Best looking = Best aesthetic appearance; it has nothing at all to do with performance.


You are incorrect for 2 reasons

1) Love is blind and ugly clubs look beautiful when sufficiently motivated to overlook the flaws. Just like the girls get prettier at closing time.

2) Although the movie star may be much more attractive as defined by the media what comes out of the husbands mouth better be his wife's name

That being said I nominate Hogan Apex Edge for all the reasons I describe.  But when the "wife" ain't looking I might peek at the Mizuno forged irons now and then.

It looks like a soda can that got run over by a truck... Then an unskilled welder welded it onto the hosel crosseyed, and dipped it in molten lead to give it the dull finish. I could live with that, but then they added the hideous decal to the cavity just to make it worse. If it weren't for the decal it might look like a prototype shovel design made by someone who had never seen a golf club or a shovel before, but had both of them described to him by a blind man of low intelligence, made from the inside of a steel toed boot from communist Russia made from low-quality steel. But the decal makes it worse; as if it would fix the appearance of the club...

That said, I'd bag them. 2 garbage bags, to be exact.

Oh crap I remember those. Put a set of those along with a Power Pod driver in your bag, and put them on display at the Guggenheim as outsider art.

It was so hard to say good bye to my Cleveland CG1.  Switched to Titleist AP - I can tell with these irons that they are made with more exactness. You have more feel for the shot and yet they are more forgiving.

??????????????????????????????

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Shorty, do you get an email alert every time someone on the internet uses the word "forged", just so you can admonish them?

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
