I actually love my touredge irons/hybrids. I swung pretty much everything out there from most expensive to least......the price is amazing and the quality is just as high as other high end brands. They keep their prices low by cutting advertising costs...check them out.

Also, a question from me.........is my swing speed with my driver is constantly 88-97(mostly 90's) would I want a regular flex or stiff? chart and sales people say stiff, but ya never know!!!

Maybe see your local pro? I'm sure they can recommend that kind of thing for ya, although I am not sure as I have never been fit myself. I really need to get that done.

Best 9 holes: 35 (Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, 3163y, Par 35/70, 70.0/131)
Best 18: [b]77[b] (Palm Valley CC, 6545y, 71.4/126)
Notable career achievement: I have NEVER four-putt.

what are you looking to change...? your irons? drivers? or your entire bag? seems kinda silly to do that since most of your stuff are new models...

At your handicap, I would suggest the Mizuno MP57's, MP58's or MP52's. They are all on the more forgiving side of Mizzy's players irons, but you can still work them easily. I did lose about 1/2 club distance when I switched to Mizuno from TaylorMade, but the consistency in trajectory, distance and feel was well worth it.

The best idea would be to try and hit as many clubs as you can. I settled for my AP2s only because Titleist is the only brand that has the fitting cart (Surefit for Titleist) and I got the right clubs for my swing.
Only by trying many brands you'll find something that you will really like. Just as an example, I got my Titleist woods because they were the only brand that I was able to hit during a demo day but I was always thinking that there were some better clubs that fit me better. Now that I've hit the Nike VR series (woods) and the Ping I15s during their respective demo days, I can tell that the Titleist ones are the best clubs for my game.

Maybe ping G15s because my local pro says it is like cheating which must mean they are good also KJ Choi uses them and there has got to be a reason for that

If you get a good shaft it wont shoot the ball straight up in the air

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
