Hey guys,

I just ordered a set of G5s (3-9i, already have wedges that I like) for just under $400, black dot with AWT steel shafts and Ping 703 grips (aqua color code). How many here use these clubs? There hasn't been too many recent posts here on the G5s. I ordered them online because there was a pretty good special on them. I'll likely get them fitted sometime this summer when I get a chance. I ordered using my specs from Ping's Webfit. I've hit these clubs before and really like how easy they are to use, as I don't normally have the time to golf as much as I'd like to. Anyway, who here is using these irons?

I got a set of i5s last year. I got a chance to swing the G5s and like them too. I just got the i5s at a much better price at the time so I went with those.

I am sure you will like the G5s!

I picked up a set of barely used G2's for $200 earlier this year. After putting some midsize grips on them, it's incredibly easy to hit the ball pure and straight. I hit some G5's one weekend at the local golf shop and hit them just as well as my own G2's. Mine are the blue dot's with the Ping true temper shaft.

Enjoy your G5's!

played the g5's for the last 3 years. Great clubs. Smooth, easy to get up in the air, comfortable, great quality. The shot trajectory was great but I decided to switch to x22 tours. You'll love the g5's, no doubt

G5s are really nice irons. They are very forgiving and easy to hit.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
