Hi guys . I am now a 15 handicapper and play high 70s . I am currently playing my old ancient lynx master model blades which give me very little forgiveness as they are and frankly i'm getting bored with them . :D
I have my eye on a set of Nike pro combo forged irons; the ones which start out as cavities and work towards musclebacksand eventually blades.also included are a set of Titleist forged 755 irons :XD
Now i know u guys are gonna say to try them out and pick the set which feels better so i've already gone ahead and done that. Both irons feel exactly the same and give the same distance and spin and loft. Except that the shaft of the nike's is thicker at the grip end as compared to the clubhead end. whereas the titleist shft is sort of same throughout. what that means is that on the nikes the grip is larger in diameter as compared to the 755's . Both have the same length give or take a 1 cm or so. Need ure input as to which one to buy. Any comments wud be highly appreciated. :D

Well the shafts are going to both be tapered meaning that they will start skinny and get bigger toward the butt. Trust me, the titleist shaft is not the same from head to grip. Wilson tried that with the fat shaft and failed miserably. I myself have a set if 755, but i upgraded shafts and put some dynamic black gold shafts in. My vote is going to be for the 755s

I really enjoyed the Pro Combos when I played them. It was cheaper for me to get a set of used Titleist 735CMs than to re-shaft them or I would've kept playing them. Good feel, though I liked the 735CMs better...

I would probably go with the 775s, all else being equal. But, in the end, I would go with the better buy. So, if you won't have to reshaft the Pro Combos but would have to reshaft the 775s I would buy the Pro Combos unless you just flat out prefer the 775s.

Thnx fr the input guys. Appreciate it.
I got a pros input on the clubs i was chasing and after having him look at my swing he completely ruled out the pro combos. Said they were really difficultto hit so thats that for the nikes . not gonna argue with him.
He gave me his cg gold to hit and wow i was impressed with that. so i am now on the lookout fr a set of cleveland cg red or gold irons. Thank u pro :D
As for the titleist's it was still better feeling than the clevelands but then again he preffered the clevelands. i know what ure gonna say that i shuldnt let his choice overpower mine but i'm gonna take his advice and take the cg's. Still gonna play a few rounds beore any decisions are made. :D

Why in the world would you play a club that doesn't feel as good to you just because someone says you should?

what i meant to say was that the titleist are slightlybetter feeling than the cg's. Not really a great deal of difference except for on the slight mishits on which i actually prefer the cg. still im gonna play a few rounds with both of them before making my decision.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By iacas · Posted

      I work with a lot of golfers who want more shaft lean at impact, who currently have AoAs that range from +2° to -2°, and who love to see the handle lower and more "in front of their trail thigh" from face-on at P6. And a lot of these golfers try to solve the issue by working on the downswing. They do something to drag the handle forward. Or they just leave their right thigh farther back so the same handle location "looks" farther forward. Or they move the ball back in their stance. Or they push themselves down into the ground to get the handle lower and increase (decrease?) their AoA (to be more negative). The real fix is often to get wider in the backswing. To do LESS in the backswing. To hinge less, fold the trail arm less, abduct the trail arm less. I had a case of this over the weekend. Before, the player had 110° of trail elbow bend, "lifted" his trail humerus only a few degrees, etc. The club traveled quite a bit around him, and he tended to "pick" the ball from the fairways. In the "after" swings below (which are mild exaggerations — this golfer does not need to end up at < 70° of elbow bend. These were slower backswings with "hit it as hard as you normally would" intent downswings), you can see that he bent his elbow about 70° instead of 110° and lifted his right arm an extra ~15° or more. You can't see how much less this moved his hands across his chest (right arm abduction), but it was also decreased. His hands stayed more "in front of" his right shoulder rather than traveling "beside" them so much. The two swings look like this: The change at P6, without talking about the downswing one little bit (outside of him telling me that he tends to pick the ball), is remarkable: Without 110° of elbow bend to get out (which he gets to 80°, a loss of 30°), the golfer actually loses slightly less elbow bend (70 - 50 = 20), but delivers 30° less elbow bend, lowering the handle and letting the elbow get "in front of" the rib cage… because it never got "behind" or "beside" the rib cage. If you look at this video showing the before/afters of P6, you'll note the handle location (both vertically and horizontally) and the shoulders (the ball is in the same place in these frames). This golfer's path was largely unaffected (still pretty straight into the ball, < 3° path and often < 1.5°), but his AoA jumped to -5° ± 2°. I've always said, and in talking with other instructors they agree and feel similarly, that we spend a lot of time working on the backswing. This is another example of why.

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
