G Prez: that's a question I am still asking myself. It honestly comes down to not liking the look of the most-likely-suspect Pings (Rapture or G5s) even as I drool a little when I look at the new Ping irons (i10 and g10).

You usually get fit for Pings. That's why they have all the different colored dots. The clunkiness is what I find charming in a Ping. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life never make a pretty woman your wife. That kind of thing. They're UGLY because they're GOOD!!!

Taylormade R7 CGB, love the feel, and can really get them in the air when I need to. Use to play R540 XD's and they were a little to light for me. I really like the feel of a bit heavier club.

I have an old set of Wilson Staff Firesticks. I am in the market for new clubs. This is probably the right time to buy...

looking for Titleist DCI 962's if anyone has them

I bought a set of 962's back in 96. They where one of the first sets Titleist brought out before actually having "962" series on the heads. They have to be one of the best CB's titleist ever made.

Now to more important info. My 67's simply amazing. The control, feel and feedback is great for me. I'm a high ball srtiker as is, so the PX's 6.0 setup a great combination down to my MP-R wedges. If you got game, and like the looks of a blade, try these out!

I play the X-18 and enjoy playing them. Not the best club to look at at address but there still my babies.

Will be upgrading to Mizuno MP-60's though, demo'ed them with a stiff shaft. Not only do they look fantastic, also gained 8-10 yards :)

Finally dumped the Acuity irons & picked up a set of Cleveland Launchers with the graphite shafts. These will last me until I hopefully get good enough where I don't need game improvement irons. But until then I am extremely happy.

Now, King Cobra but I want to change them for the X-20's.

I got a quick Q (sorry to hijack the thread)...I'm stuck between 3 sets of irons....Cleveland CG4, Adams IDEA A2, or IDEA A2 OS.

I am 22, 5'10" and roughly 185 lbs. I really only starting playing golf this summer and I've been using old clubs, my dad says they are roughly 15-20 years old. I can hit them good (distance), but I do tend to slice. Obviously more practice will help with this. I am wondering what set is the best to go with for my experience.

The IDEA A2 OS have 4 hybrids, which I'm not too sure I need, the A2 seem decent, but are the CG4 not a good choice for my skill level? I am willing to spend up to $400 and all 3 of these irons have good reviews. Just trying to get feedback on anyone with experience.

Thanks

    • You know what, I have thought about moving to Arizona a little bit, but I do love the winters here. It really is nice down here from like November thru March. And I totally would do a home setup thing, I really should, but my stupid tennis elbow is really so easily flared up. It's getting better every month with dry needling, but it's so annoying too. I do think I'm finally solving the root causes thru both the dry needle treatments and fixing this steepness/toe strike thing. The former actually does heal it and learning how to plane the club correctly reduces the trauma the elbow takes because of the increase in sweet spot hits. I really should just do a trip to Scottsdale though, I went there once many years ago and it was a beautiful place. Didn't play golf at the time so I really should go. I'd love to get away from the humidity too. And I know there are great mats out there, like at Golf Evolution for example I've been told. In my case, I will hit foam balls off a mat sometimes at home and that has some of the effects of actually hitting a ball while reducing the impact. And this is maybe a topic for another thread, but I've found just making air swings to be more beneficial to me than I originally thought -- that going really fast and not hitting a ball shows my flaws quite a bit too. I'll film myself just making fast air swings inside and trying to fix it. It's almost like speed training except if speed training included trying to make a really technically sound swing on top of it. Hopefully this comment isn't too much of a tangent, but It is the winter depression thread, so maybe tangents about what to do with oneself indoors with golf is okay. Appreciate it though, I really have thought about Arizona a couple times over the last year at least.
    • Day 23: chipped in the garage with foam balls. Focused on crisp contact. Did mostly lower chips but mixed in some higher ones. Slightly more open stance, plus ball more toward middle, plus higher handle led to the best results. Need to keep those 3 things in mind. 
    • Day 2: Worked on distance wedge swing feels. The feel for me is to keep the upper body down more while straightening the lead leg.
    • Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.
    • I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.
