I have Cleveland CG golds now and I'm a 6 month golfer. These are just too hard to hit. Few guys in my league tried hitting them and agreed.

Looking for a SGI set. 500-600 range. I was thinking the Ping G-10 but not sure it's a SGI set. Any advice on sets would be great. I can say I'm not crazy about hybryds either

I have strugled with the CG golds for too long. Heck, I can hit my brother in laws ping g2 really good compared to mine.

I just don't think I am ready for just a GI set yet?

Yea, those cobras look tempting. Heading out today to demo some. Man, I wish the guy at golfsmith would of set me up right the first time. Bad thing is I bought em in the winter so really never played them so the 90/90 went out the window.

Not this time however :)

Cobra SZ look good as well??

The G10's are nice but I picked the I10's because i want to improve. I feel if you get too much "help" from the SGI clubs you may ingrain some flaws in your swing. Too be honest I didn't feel the I10's were any harder to hit the the G10 I just didn't care for the look of the G10 head. Since the new I15 and G15 line is coming out the 10 series are a preety good buy right now. Good luck.

I agree.

I've been extremely happy with these sticks. There doesn't appear to much difference with these and the G10's. Outstanding bargain....especially when you consider that you can be custom fitted for that same price.

I bought the S9 for my cousin a couple of years back and he loves them. They really are great irons and can be had in your price range pretty easily. You'll probably dip into the $375 - 425 range if you trade in your current set too. Just make sure you try some more irons before settling on the S9, if that's your choice. You don't want to run into this situation again

My buddy who worked his way from a low 20s handicapper to a low single digit handicapper over the past 3 years swears by the Ping G and I series. I've never played them, but they're probably worth looking at too.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
