I am considering new irons to replace my ACER XK that I bought last year...  There are 2 main reasons for this decision.  1. I was told that my ACERs cannot be adjusted to the 2.25* flat that PiNG recommends and 2.  I ordered my irons 1" short and I now realize that was a bit drastic...  anyhow I am considering the G5 irons but I am not sure if a club that came out 7 years ago is worth the money... any thoughts would be appreciated.

I can get the g5s for $350

That's not horrible. If they work for you I'd say go with 'em.

There is barely any difference between the G5s and the G15s or G20s.  Several years ago (2006 maybe) I believe the G5s were rated the top game improvement club on the market.  So if you've been fitted and know exactly what you're looking for, they would be a safe bet from a bang for the buck perspective.

Good luck!

    • Day 35 - 2024-11-04 Hit balls with many breaks over the course of two hours. Wrist is feeling a little better, but ulnar deviation still twinges. I did the first two levels of Operation 36 and passed, duh. 25 and 50 yards. Would have been easier if putting was real. 😄 
    • I can say I've seen some of the older gents at the club I play shoot in that range and from time to time a bit better.  Granted the super senior tees are only 4,400 yards and the course itself is just over 6,250 from the tips so its not a long course.  Also the greens are not super tricky so someone who can get close and some of those guys I play with can throw darts from 100 yards in for up and down pars.  Being short off the tee - say his par 4's are 300yds (160 off the tee, leaves 140 in - if he's like some I know, he can likely do driver off the deck with good accuracy, say for a nGIR 10yds out, he chips /putts consistently close and has kick in par).  For me, the operative phrase is "can play" - which says is capable but likely not carding it round after round.  Its like me saying I shoot in the upper 70's - one would presume that I am "saying" I am a solid single digit handicap, sub-80 player.  To which I am definitely not but I have ventured in the upper 70's several times over the past year - but that is not a consistent upper-70's.   
    • Pasta Ala Ceppo with a Spicy Red Sauce Red Sauce - High quality tomato sauce, red pepper flakes (a lot), garlic, basil, olive oile  
    • I play a 7000 yard course… that has tees at 4700.
    • Been told these are courses are all 6000+ so assuming most par 4s are 300+  and the par 5s are 500+. When I hear BS I have to call it out. This guy needs to be packing a game equal to or better than most guys in the bottom half of the 150-175 RTP stats to be shooting the scores I'm being asked to believe. Didn't use the keyword RTP when I was googling. Thanks @DaveP043 for that 🙂👍
