So I've been tinkering with the idea of buying a different set of irons. I currently own a set of X-18 pros with stiff steel shafts. I was thinking of upgrading to some X-20s or X-22s. But I've also been seriously considering buying a set of Ping nickle ISIs or a set of the BECU Eye2s or maybe the +no+s, something I can hit for decades to come . Opinions would be well appreciated.

This is another one of those..."demo them both and see which you like best" threads. Which I believe is the best response every time. Find a place that will let you sign them out to use on the range or even better, the course.

Retro would be cool. Love the look of those old Ping BECU Ping eye 2's. Those are going for big bucks on ebay though. Whatever makes you happy is the way to go in my book.

Lol I love the look as well and I've read they feel is like butter when hit. My buddy has a set Ping ISI BECU and they are lovely to look at and oh so buttery to hit, but I've read that the ISIs have one of the smallest sweetspots of ping families.

Gee dicisions dicisions.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
