Has anyone bought Snake Eyes or non-mainstream irons that conform to the new groove rules?

All,

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I researched each lead and suggestion. My research landed me in Golf Galaxy. They fitted me for free and told me that the clubs I would end up with at Golf Galaxy, would be the SAME price or MORE with LESS technology as new BRAND NAME clubs that they had on their floor. All the Brand Name clubs I saw were about $899 and higher so  I didn't believe that was possible. Dbwood's estimates were very close to the figures I had with Golfsmith, which is 80 plus miles away. Golf Galaxy fitted me, found me to be .5 inch longer than standard and 1 degree upright. Next they told me the adjustments would be free, I just need to pay for the clubs and new grips ( I need midsize anyway). Then they gave me my advantage club member benifit and $50 discount coupon for purchasing over $200. End result? I pick up my brand new Adams A7 hybrid irons, 3hy through PW, regular flex steel shafts, on Saturday for $357. Guess I was wrong. We will see how they play Sunday.

Thanks Again for all your responses.

Hey SA good going there! The fitting was smart and them being able to adjust the clubs for you right there is awesome. Sounds like you got a great deal for some really nice clubs.

Thank You, I haven't taken my new clubs to the Links yet. I took them to the driving range one time. I want to put in some more time at the driving range because now I am standing taller and have a tendency to "dip my shoulder" probably because my old set was shorter. I don't have to swing as hard now, and that helps a lot. Hopefully I will get rid of some of my old swing habits by this weekend so that I can take them out for their first round. Wish me luck.

You should have gone with the new M-series from KZG. Affordable forged irons and I have to tell you..SPECTACULAR! Maybe it was just a lucky day, but the clubs felt great and I made some great hits. I know they are not sold everywhere, they are selective as to who they sell to according to my fitter. They make sure the fitters they are selling to have the latest technology and years of expierience. Also if you were looking forcast irons, the OC-II are nice and affordable as well. Im surprised nobody has mentioned this brand.

Anyway i hope your new clubs work out for you. Its always a great feeling getting new club!

"Shoulder down" is one of the 6 keys in the "Stack and Tilt Swing" book. You just don't want to dip your spine angle. However, this is off-topic. There are many threads here on the S&T if you are interested.

    • I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.
    • 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.
