My wife has been bugging me on what to get me for fathers day so I went to the golf shop the other day and hit all the new drivers comparing them to my Nike VR pro. There really wasn't one that just jumped out that hit better than my current driver, so that was out. After a couple of days of thinking about it, I decided to be fitted for a new set of irons. I've played golf since high school (30 years ago) and started back playing serious this year after about a 10 year layoff and have always played off the shelf clubs.

I went yesterday after work and got fitted for a new set of Pings. Ended up getting a mixed set, 4-5-6 irons are G15's and the 7-UW i15's and a matching Tour-s SW, all are green dot + 1/2"

After getting home an hour late I told my wife my fathers day gift should arrive next Friday

I'm surprised you were able to get a mixed set of G-15 and i-15. Pretty cool. Getting the fitting was key.

The mixed set was actually the shops suggestion. After hitting both I was having a hard time deciding. I liked the looks of the i15's but I like the extra forgiveness of the g15's. When they made the suggestion of the mixed set it just made sense.

Clubs played great this morning. Cut 5-6 shots off what my average has been lately. We'll see if it holds true again tomorrow.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _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.
