Anyone else gaming these? I love my Hogans and they are still in pristine shape but was fitted for a Project X 6.0 Flighted shaft. I looked into getting new shafts but as we all know the cost to do this is outrageous. So I decided to see if I could find a set of irons. Came down to the Callaway X-Forged and the Bridgestone J36 Combos. Found a guy selling a set of the Bridgestones. He said they had 10 rounds in them but you could fool me as they look brand new. He had the receipt for them from a local shop he and I verified they were legit. Cost for the new set of irons was $125 less than reshafting my Hogans. Excited to play them.

I just got a set and I've taken them to the range a few times and played one round with them. So far I absolutely love them. Supposedly the metal used is softer than what Mizuno forges their clubs with, but I'm no metallurgist. I also have the 6.0 flighted shafts in them, and I like how they feel light and crisp. I think I'm going to play these irons in to the ground.

I got really lucky with these. I went in to my local shop (Pro Golf Discount) and saw these clubs over a year ago, and fell in love with them, and they were around $650 when I first saw them, and over time they have just been chipping away at the price, and eventually I was in there returning a wedge, and found them marked down to $350 and I had to have them. I've found sets in excellent condition on ebay for around the same price, too. Not a lot of retailers carry bridgestone equipment, but I'm assuming it is easier to find in the NW, due to proximity to Japan, and also that Fred Couples comes from this area, and he's rocking the b-stone gear.

Thanks for the reports guys. I am lucky to have a local retailer who carried these so I have hit them a few times and really like the feel of the club and ball flight I get. i paid under $200 for the set...so if they do not work out I can probably move them for more than I paid but my plan is to have them for a long time.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
