I've had drivers spark tons when there is fertilizer on the grass. But irons on a stimulator? Interesting. I wonder if it is static electricity.

Irons on a

stimulator might spark, but I dunno about irons on a simulator . Hee hee hee. Anyway, I've never seen sparking, ever. So, yeah, I asked him to ask y'all here on the forum. Cuz you'll have better answers than me.

Seen it before a few times with Titanium irons.Certainly seen it a few times late in the evening and also on night-golf events......not seen it so much recently with drivers but it used to be quite common.

My irons and drivers spark at my local driving range off the mats... makes me wonder if there's a metal additive in the rubber to make them last longer...

Titanium and sand react to make sparks. I used to see it at night off the mats at a local driving range with drivers.

Yes, they do and I've seen it first hand. As others have pointed out, it's the titanium. I've seen it with drivers as well.

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
