To get used to new irons? Yes I realize this "depends", I'm just wondering what your experiences have been.

I've had mine for about 4 rounds and a dozen practice sessions. I really like them, much more than my old irons, but checking my stats I'm not playing as well with them. I've only hit 21% of GIR, compared to 38% last year with my old irons. Its still early though...

Is probably still too early. Since your sig has you playing cci forged (I am assuming those are your new irons) here are a couple of reasons for a longer adjustment time. 1) if you played cast before, you could be getting used to the forged feel. 2) if you played G1 irons before and switched to players irons. 3) if the clubs have a different shaft with a different weight or stiffness.

Dont give up on those new clubs. You will get used to them eventually and hit better.

You are correct on all three of your points! Nice guesses. Oh yeah I'm not giving up! I have not even played enough with them to really know exactly what every club's yardage is yet. I can tell the upside is worth the struggles though, the good shots are SO good. I have changed every club in my bag except the driver since last year in an effort to improve, and I'm just wondering what other people's experiences are with settling into a new set.

LOL! I just threw out some ideas and it happened to be exactly your situation. Good luck!

If they are properly fitted to you, then the process of acclimation shouldn't take too long. Trying to hit too stiff of a shaft or other "poor-fit" factors may take so long that you give up.

I've had mine for around a dozen rounds now and am pretty well used to them.

its differanat for everyone,i shot my carrer first time out with mine,but the set i had before them i had for like 2 monthes and never got used to them.

Well, it took me about 4 months, but i'm guessing it won't take you that long. I switched from graphite irons to steel. For me it took a lot of getting used to.

I just switch to Nike from Titleist. Took me 3 days to get used to. Damn they feel the same. same ball flight and distance too .

Some good info before me here. My thoughts are to be sure they are fitted to your properly. Also, the flex of the shaft compared to what you had in the older irons. Big variables here.

As said above I think it's different from situation to situation. When I got my new putter and new wedges I played better the first time out. New drivers take me a while on the range. The last iron switch I had was from graphite to steel and from an older set to a new GI iron. They felt better right off the bat, but I think my scores suffered for about 4-5 rounds before I hit them enough on the range to figure everything out. My new irons should be coming in early next week and I hope the switch doesn't take too long. I am also going from some cast GI irons to some forged player's cavities, so I hope it works out for the better in the end. Who knows, it may be better right away for me because these are the first clubs I have ever been fitted for! Good luck and hang in there!

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
