Does anyone have experience with Tommy Armour 845 Evo irons? Are they worth checking out?

I have the evo v-31 cast model with the tri-gold by true temper shaft. I like them a lot when I hit them consitantly and I only paid 75.00 for them. But with your handiap I don't think you will have a problem gaming them. They have a thin topline and a progressive cavity in the back, so you get nice forgivness in the longer irons and control in the shorter irons. All in all I like them, but for me I would like a bigger face until I can make better contact.

I tried a used set of them once that I got at play it again sports, I think i only paid like $60 for 5-pw so I figured they were worth the gamble. I actually bought them, used them for about 2 weeks and returned them for store credit. Probably would be good irons for a low handicapper but i just couldnt make consistent solid contact, I need more forgiving irons and they just werent a good fit for me.

I can pick up a set for pretty cheap right now and I want a set of cast blade-like irons use at indoor golf. They look "interesting" to say the least. I like having irons that not everyone has (or wants lol).

Sean,

I had always liked the looks of the TA irons line, but had never played any. Last year, several ST posters shared their views with me on TA 845 family: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...y+Armour+clubs

Sean,

Thanks for the link, although the only even remotely negative comment in the thread is about he V-31s I'm thinking about picking up. They're so cheap now that it's totally worth the risk. I just thought it was ironic.

      2024 Changes to the World Handicap System (WHS)

      I guess someone decided to do more work for little benefit then.  I might be the lucky one then. I have a +3 and a +1 on my counted scores.

      I've only seen one positive PCC since it began, a +3 during a tournament on a tough, firm course with the wind blowing at least 30 mph. A scratch golfer got so frustrated he pulled out after 9. Sadly, the +3 did nothing for me as I was a good 10-12 strokes above the score counting. Currently 3 of my last 7 scores have a negative PCC. Of course, all 3 of those are in my best eight. I'm puzzled, as the wind was blowing pretty good on at least two of those rounds.

      It changed to the best 8 of the last 20, in the 2020 changes.  When I attended a Handicapping Workshop in 2020, we were told that they anticipated that the PCC would apply in about 10% of the rounds.  That's about what I see now, maybe slightly more often since the algorithm was tweaked not long ago.  And remember, the PCC will adjust MOST of the scores on a given day towards the mean.  With a positive PCC (more high scores), most players scores wouldn't be in the best 8/20 even with the PCC, so the impact is nothing, although the few players who had a good day will see the impact on their HI increased.   I believe it will be very rare that a player has even two scores in their best 8 with any kind of PCC.

      There was a PCC of +3 at Talamore the day I played in Pinehurst! Somehow that course was killing us all, lol.  If it is still the best 10 out of 20, So, it would amount to .1. It matters more if you end up with like 5 out of 10 of your counted differentials having PCC. That could equal a full stroke.  Yea, I think it will influence handicaps like 0 to let's say 2 for handicaps.

      I posted as well, I hope most of us did.  I'm still not sure the PCC system makes a significant difference, but it certainly won't work as intended if golfers don't post on the day of play.
