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.

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
