The thread title basically says it all.  This is my first thread on here so let me know if I posted this in the wrong section.

Those are the 3 sets of clubs i'm looking at.  I can get the shafts custom for no upcharge, so feel free to give input on those as well.

I am a 6 handicap, and I hit the ball pretty high.  I am looking for a set that allows for maximum workability, but still has a little forgiveness.

What do you guys think?

Driver: Titleist D3 9.5, Project X
3 Wood: Adams Tight Lies
Irons: Titleist AP2
Wedges: 51 Degree Cleveland, 54 and 58 Degree CG 15
Putter: Ping Kushin (Old School Baby!)

All great sticks but for your HC I would say the Nike Combo Irons would provide the best workability and playability out of all of them. I am not saying that you can't work the ball with either the AP2 or X forged because you can but the Pro Combos do have three irons (8-PW with a low flight) that are blades and are the scoring clubs in the iron set that will have a high amount of workability as well as the cavity (3,4 to get the ball up) and split cavity (5-7 to get that forgiveness and a mid flight) irons you get as well.

Welcome !

These sets are almost identical allthough I would say the new X-Forged to be more or less a club for the near scratch player, it is less forgiving than you would expect !

The new Pro Combo set is less workable in the long irons and the AP2 has a good mix of forgiviness, feel and workabillity.

As for shafts you might like the Project X 5.0 or 5.5 which are stiffer than the Dynamic gold R300 / S300 and will get you ballflight down. Project X 6.0 is way stiffer than S300 and 99% of the guys that think they need Project X 6.5 will end up crippled in a few weeks.

Hit all and pick the one you like best.......

(maybe have a look at Titleist 710 CB as well as you really like the X forged)

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
