I've hit the CCi's and they were amazing. I thought I wasnt good enough to play them but I was an IDIOT for not buying them. God I drool over them every time I see them or hear them mentioned now.

thats what prompted the post....hoping to get out to golfsmith this week...pretty sure one of these two will be in my bag by next weekend's round. the macgreggor pro-c or m/c combo could impress me too, we'll just see how it goes. three sets of forged players irons for $350 or less...great time to make the jump in my opinion

I have not hit the srixons but I did hit the cci forged a few weeks ago, when it was down to the cci's vs the mp57's for me..

The cci's were money, they felt really really nice when hit solid, I think you will like those, but definitely go to GS and compare the two.

I'm thinking about jumping on the bandwagon and picking up a cheap set in the offseason here as well.... I'm a gear ••••• I guess.

I'm torn between the CCi, AP1, i701s, and these macgreggor pros! I think I'm gonna hit up the AP1s but not sure.

went with the cci forged. a local golf shop had the same 350 price, and i sure do like supporting small businesses, so i pulled the trigger...oh yeah and they felt great.

only issue i forsee myself having is i'm going from a regular uniflex light true temper shaft to dg s300's....and my driver and hybrids are regular graphite shafts. i think reshafting might be in order soon, so i'm not all over the place with driver

Before I bought new irons, I hit the Nike CCI forged numerous times. They feel great when struck and are good looking at address. Have not hit the Srixon's thought. There have been numerous great reviews for both irons so I don't think you can go wrong with either. Good luck!

The Nike CCi Forged irons are one of the most workable irons to this day...The cavity gives it just enough forgiveness that seperates it from being a hard feely player's blade. I heard from many though that you get punished for hits way off center but if you hit is near or on the center most of the time, it's heavenly. Stewart Cink and Lucas Glover don't want to change them and I wouldn't either if they won me a major...lol...I could have gotten these irons for 180 on 3balls but I chickened out... =( Other than my love for the CCis...The Srixons are much more forgiving and they are really cheap at golfsmith right now.

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
