I just got my index into single digits and i have really been striking the ball well latley. I do not like to work the ball as i enjoy a straiter flight. I do play a higher ball naturaly. Am i going to hurt myself going forward with G5s or should i look to i10s? Will the forgivness of the G5 hurt me going forward? I dont know what i would be giving up going with the G series as i dont work the ball. Thoughts?

If you're hitting the ball well right now, I don't see where a change of equipment would be necessary. Now if you wanted to hit the ball lower, or be able to work it, fine.

That said, if you just want a new set of sticks, I say go ahead...part of the fun of the game IMO.

i dont think one will necessarily lower your handicap at all...

but like chilly said, part of the fun is the equipment. I say go for it.

In my situation, I started hitting the ball well and it made me want to stick with my game improving Nike Ignites forever. But, as my swing progressed and my hands got stronger and quicker, the offset started hurting me. I started unintentionally drawing all my irons. So, I didn't want to go to a straight up players blade because I don't think I'm good enough to consistently hit them, instead, I went with the MP-57s which are more forgiving than a full blade with less offset than GI sets.

With that said, until you run into something like that, I'd keep what you've got.

Seeing as how ball striking is definitely the week point in my game...i think i should stick it out with these for a bit. I hit some other irons tonight and thanks to some good guidance i found at my dealer, i determined that the shaft has more to do with it than anything. Mine have stiff zz65s which are great shafts with a high flex point. I tried some i15s with dynamic golds and hit them the same. My problem is that i get to handsey and tend to be a sweeper which we all know is the road to disaster. Im glad my dealer is as honest as he is, because he could have made an easy sale tonight. I guess thats why they get ALL of my business. For the foreseeable future...im packin G5's.

If you do end up switching, forget the i10's. If you are looking for cheaper go with i5's. If money doesn't matter then look at the i15's.
