Just got these and played them for the first time today. I switched from a set of Ping G2s and have seemed to have lost about 5 to 10 yards. Is this normal? (even on well struck shots)

I was also able to spin the ball back a couple feet. Which I was never able to do with the G2s. Are the grooves different?

Boy, Got me. I switched from the Ping I3's about 5 years ago. Went to the MP-37's which I hit longer than my Pings, then to the MP-67's which seem to have a higher trajectory and lost about 5 yards. But never lost distance.

The grooves seem the same to me.

I suspect so: the G2s are game-improvement irons, and I suspect they have a stronger loft than the MP-57s.

You're going to lose some distance, but it's not as big an issue in the end. So you hit your 6-iron instead of your 7-iron, but with the feedback and control, you'll be at least as accurate with your 6-iron now compared to your old 7-iron from the same distance.
I was also able to spin the ball back a couple feet.

The grooves are fresh, for sure.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
