Does anybody still hit Ping i2s? I have a chance to get a set cheap, and am wondering if they are too outdated.

Ben Hogan is my swing coach.

I am in love with my g10's, they are my best clubs. The Hybrids are awesome too.

Wonderful thing about Ping is you dont need a 'fitting day', as most of their retailers are trained to properly fit you. And they'll sell you the clubs one at a time on top of that, if you cant afford a whole set at once.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

I recently bought a set of G5's (4-PW), I did not have them professionally fitted. Mine are standard black dot. They are great, I have been really happy with them. S L O W L Y bringing my handicap down. You wont be disappointed with them, go buy a set.

In the game improvement category, I would take a look at the Mizuno MX-200 (replacement for my MX-25's) and the Adams Idea A4. Both of these are forged and the Adams even comes with hybrids integrated in the set. Lots of people have high regards for the TM Burners. Also, I think that the Cobra FP(?) which I think is no longer manufactured but you can still find have been a good "sleeper" club from what I hear.

Those I2's are not to be underestimated just because of age...i still play isi-k's from '96 and they're still accurate as you know what and great distance...i switched from i2's and i still have them in case i decide one day to go back (need stiff shafts). if you have the chance to get a great deal, you won't be disappointed...

That's what the club pro and the Callaway guy both said. Usually 205 is a 6 Iron for me, and that's hitting it crisp. I probably hit 30 balls with that same club and only had 4 bad shots.

WOW.... 6 and 7 irons flying 205!!!!!! You should be on tour. Let me guess you probably bomb your driver 340-350 on average as well right???????

You act like it's impossibe for someone to hit a 7 iron 205. Just cause you can't doesn't mean its not possible. Why would the guy be lying?

Well, I am a HUGE fan of PING equiptment.

I have i10's and they are the best feeling irons.
--Considering they are blades, the forgiveness is still great.

I was looking into the s58's also, but i10's felt the best.

Callaway is garbage. I do NOT reccomend Callaway at all.

    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness. 
    • What is the best way to practice short game shots if you don’t have a green available to practice on? Should you also film your short game swings and putting practice?
