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


Depends on how much you can get them for.

 913 D2 8.5* with V2 66g stiff shaft

 910F 14.25 with Diamana stiff shaft

 i20 17, 20, and 23 hybrid 

 AP2 712 5-PW with Dynamic Gold S300 shaft

 54 and 60

 D66

 Tournament Edition 1600

 

 


If they're in good shape, they're not all that different than the current ones.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

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!

    • New report unveils 'staggering' losses for LIV Golf LIV Golf’s UK arm, which manages all of LIV’s operations outside of the U.S., filed its 2023 financials this week. The Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund's investment in LIV Golf could approach $5 billion by the end of this year based on financials reported by LIV Golf’s UK arm (and excluding its U.S. business). LIV Golf’s financials were put under the microscope by Money in Sport, a newsletter following the money that is published on Substack.  LIV Golf’s UK arm, which manages all of LIV’s operations outside of the U.S., filed its 2023 financials this week.  Among the notable figures:  Revenues picked up in 2023 from $4.9 million to $37.1 million, with Australia providing 45 percent of the annual total ($16.6 million) based on the LIV Adelaide tournament.  Tournament hosting fees made up 37 percent of revenues, the largest category of income. Broadcast rights income amounted to only $3 million (8 percent of total revenue).
    • Day 136 - 2025-02-13 Did the Stack distance wedge baseline test today.
    • Day 23 (13 Feb 25) - The weather cleared out this afternoon and that meant getting out in the yard to enjoy some work with the longer irons into the net as well as the short irons chipping and short bump and runs.  Focused on getting the torso rotated through on the chips, much smoother contact when it happens.
