I agree they have the

You bring up good points, but this is a young man, not an old fart such as myself. His right to left ratio good so IMO he should get blades so he doesn't develope bad habits and does develope a good golf swing. I know this works cuz thats what I learn with and it works. Sure he will labor more, but that is what makes success that much sweeter and rewarding. The majority of 25-17 hc's are old untrainable men and this isn't the case with the inquirie. He may be a high hc at this time, but I bet that will change. I do agree though that if we were talking about anyone over 35-40 cb's would be the way to go. Or anyone who just wants to go hit the ball around with the boys, get cb's. But if you are going to be serious mb's will ingrain better habits.

By the time someone is a 10 hc they usually have at least a knock down draw shot, which I consider working the ball. I do agree that nothing beats a good straight shot, but it won't behoove one to learn how to work a ball, especially knock down and punch shots. Many of the pro's play cb's b/c they are paid to play them. If you have a opportunity to go to a Nation Wide or any mini tour look at what clubs those guys are play'n. I say this b/c they don't get paid to play clubs, they have to buy their own equipment. What I've seen, (and admittedly I haven't been to many mini tour events), was mostly Titleist and Mizuno about half were mb's.

I'm 15 and play off 13. I'm a fairly good ball-striker and right now I'm playing a set of big cavity backs. I want to upgrade to a new set which is slightly smaller and more workable. Right now I'm considering the Titleist AP2, since the new 710 are coming out I will most likely try to get them for around 600 bucks 4-PW. I play a Ping I10 3-iron and i find it to be a great club. it's quite forgiving and it gives me a low penetrating ball-flight which I like since I mainly play in windy conditions. I'm also considering the Taylormade Tour Preferred which is similar to the AP2 just a little cheaper and not forged.

Why play cast clubs?

Cast clubs are not the choice of solid ball strikers.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
