Well I have owned and tried over 30 sets of irons (I start lossing track after 25) and I think I have found the Best irons I have every played(for me at least).

I played 9 holes with a buddy's Nakashima Np-1 3-PW and I instantly fell in love!!!! These are softer and easier to control than the X-tour and MP-32. I'm sure there are folks out there that would disagree but you have to try these irons and see for yourself. I can only draw from my personal (expensive )experience.

Anyway I just got my set in this morning with DG SL S300 shaft and can not wait to swing these puppies.

I will report back with more info if anyone is interested.

Also I went ahead and got the 52, 56, 60 wedges as well. Can't wait to see how that stack up against my CG10 black pearl.

Did you keep a set of irons for like 3 weeks and trade them in? 30 sets of irons? That is rediculous and for me hard to believe. But congrats on finding some irons.

I am happy for you that you found some irons you like but.......30 sets of irons? Have you ever considered that the problem may lie in your swing not your equipment? I don't mean to rain on your parade but if its likely if you would have kept iron set # 1 or #2 , taken the $ you spent on sets #3-#30 and spent it on lessons you would probably be a better player. As the very unpolitically correct saying goes.....Its the indian not the arrows.

I agree with everyone that it is the Indian and not the arrow...but aren't you guys curious on how each irons feels? I've taken lessons and it works out great.

If I can drive a sport car for 3 weeks and change to another sport car...then why not!!! Here is another perspective. If you guys are single and wanted to get marry wouldn't you want to date a bunch of people before you settle down???

I've heard about those folks from Nakashima & I believe they're based from Stockton (?) CA. They also have a product wherein you are able to change shafts on your driver with just a simple tool, much like the same that Callaway uses on their demo days. Let me know what the results with your clubs because I've been looking into changing shafts on my irons & had a different experience when I tried TT DG SL's on a Callaway Xtour set. Right now I'm still using TT DG's on my Mizunos, but gravitating towards TT Black Gold line...

Yup, those guys are in Stockton. Wonder if we can just go up there and try out the clubs

Shigeki, try searching in the forum for the black gold because one member already did a test and did not like the black gold.

BTW going back to my many sets discussion My feeling is you can't really get a good sense of the club when you test them on the mat in a store or even a quick test at the driving range. It's like marrying a girl on the first date

I have never been a real big believer in changing equipment. The only exception would be putters and the occasional driver switch (because of technology). I am waiting on the arrival of the first new set of irons I have bought in 10 years. And really and truly I don't need them, I hit the ones I have now just fine. I just believe you find a good set of irons that give you confidence and fit your eye and then you work like heck to learn to hit them as best you can. Changing too often causes inconsistancy in an already inconsistant game. But thats just my opinion.

I agree. Especially with irons. A driver is one thing...but irons should be in your bag for at

least one year before you are really comfortable with them. I've had two sets of irons in the past 11 years. I'm starting to look for my next set, but I'm not doing it just to try something new...

You're not alone.

      Swing Caddie 300 First Use

      By Sclaffer ·

      Thanks for the reply. I downloaded a software update and can now measure swing speed without a ball. Without a ball and with an all out effort, I can get over 100mph swing speed. But as soon as I put a ball in front of me, I tense up and the swing speed is back to low 90's. More work to be done!  I am also excited to tweak everything to see if I can improve smash factor.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By WillieT ·

      Kind of reminds me of my first driver - a TM R580 at a whopping 400cc.  Still have one in the stable - and like to hit it on occasion.  Makes me wonder if the Mini-drivers of today are a testing ground to drivers of tomorrow of the powers that be opt to roll back driver head size in conjunction to the ball roll back to limit the overall distance.  I’ve not done a lot of research on shot distances between the mini and regular drivers, but figured there is some.  Will be something to follow as the mini-driver unfolds.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By retoid ·

      I agree with you, at least in regards to myself and playing. I can't really speak much for others. I assume that some people who are playing golf very often can notice more drastic differences. That being said, I do notice some differences here and there and sound and feel definitely have some say in which ball I end up liking. But that seems more psychological than physical. I've only been playing golf regularly for a year now and I'll play almost any ball since I often lose balls. However, since I've been able to get out once a week for a while now, I am down to losing only about 2-3 balls from losing 10-14 per round. Which feels huge for me and so I've begun to narrow down the balls I choose to play with. I've gone through a box of Vice Pro Plus, Vice Pro, Sugar, Titleist DT Trufeel and Kirklands. Bought a bucket of 350 used balls which had a majority of Srixon Soft Feels in there. I decided to give the Soft Feels a try and have really been enjoying them quite a bit. Only yesterday did I hit a Pro V1 for the first time and it felt quite nice. However, that all being said, I have to admit, I've played my best overall with Vice Pro Plus balls. I get the most distance from these balls and am able to hit them quite well. I am not sure on green side spin/grip, I think I'd prefer them to check up a bit more. But I believe one really big factor for me with these balls is that I usually club down when hitting them because I gain so much distance off of them and I also tend to bring my swing speed down which causes me to have a more accurate swing and ball strike. As opposed to trying to whack the snot out of the ball each time, which ends up in a slice 75% of the time. I do love testing out new balls though, sound and feel is always fun to experience.
