Updating a very old set of clubs.  I am 6'5" and going with either Ping Eye 2 (both black $175 and white dot $160 found), Ping ISI-K (black dot $175), or Ping G10's (black dot $130).  Just what I have been finding locally and really like the Ping Eye 2's.  From the Ping site I am color coded as a silver.

So I guess my main question is....should I wait for a silver dot set or go with the black dots and try them...have them bent possibly at some point if I need it.  The white dot i2's would obviously be very close to the silver dots...

Thoughts and suggestions appreciated on the sets themselves as well......

Thanks in advance

Before you buy anything I would go to a box store like Golf Galaxy and take in one of your old irons (say a 7i) and tell them you want the lie adjusted due to your height but don't know to what angle it needs to be.  It might cost a small fee but they will have you hit a lie board and determine if your clubs need to be flattened or upright.  If you are 6'5" most likely the irons will need to be adjusted upright.  Ask them what adjustment is needed and then buy your new set accordingly.

Not sure where you are buying used clubs at, but if you buy used at Golf Galaxy, they will adjust the lies for half the price of labor making it about $1.50 a club (normal price is $2.99 per club).

I would wait for a set that you know fits you. That way there won't be any second thoughts or regrets about your purchase. Having a set that fits you really helps, I'm 6'3'' and having upright clubs makes a huge difference with my posture over the ball.

    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
