I just got my new irons last night (see sig) and went out this morning to hit them since I'm working evenings. Both of the ranges close to my house were closed! The first one, at a nice course nearby, is closed about half the time I go; anytime it rains or whenever they feel like it. They treat their range like its freaking Augusta National. I don't know why.

The second one is more of a goat farm but its fine for hitting balls. I got there about 8:50 and nobody was there so I gathered up a few balls from near the hitting area and hit maybe 30-40, until about 9:30. Still nobody there so I left $6 under a weight on the outdoor counter (since I hit about a small buckets' worth). Pretty annoying. They don't seem to have any hours posted but it is a beautiful day, you'd think they'd be there by 9 at the latest...

I love the new irons from what little I was able to hit them. Glad I went with the DG shafts as opposed to the PX flighted as I had no trouble getting the long irons up in the air, which I was a little concerned about (only hit them on a launch monitor before I bought them). Felt sweet and seemed pretty easy to work the ball either way. Other than a couple s****s they even seemed more forgiving than my old Adams clubs - a tighter dispersion on balls that weren't hit well (probably because my old clubs were regular shafted). I got them from Callaway preowned and was very satisfied with the condition, even though they were "average".

Oh man, they are lucky to have such an honest player like yourself to leave money. If I had new irons like that I would probably find anywhere to hit them, hehe. Good luck!

At least your in TX, everything up my way (Mass) is closing up for the year. Can't really blame anyone though. Not a ton of fun playing in 45 degree.s

I was thinking that if he picked up the balls himself then he should have got to hit them for free.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
