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.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
