Most of the differences are aesthetics and if everyone says that they perform the same, then I think that's what you probably have to chose from. I chose the one with the thinner top line, which is my preference.

Thats good to know. Thanks

-Your kidding right? You know i said the exact same thing as him, right before he did just worded a little differently. He just happens to own his clubs where i have only hit them.

I also call for the pictures of the irons. Maybe we should make a poll of how many ST members wanna see the pics.

I'm upping the ante.

If the OP uploads a photo of these sorry items with a picture of his username and the date, as Iacas suggested, I will leave this site and not ever return.

That should be motivation enough.

BTW I'm having trouble with my putting. Every time I hit an iron to the green it's within a two metre circle of the pin, but I'm having trouble making more than 90% of the putts. I only seem to birdie half the holes. It's OK for the majority, which are tap ins.

Does anyone have any drills that could help me? Not boasting, just asking for help with short putts.

I've been playing the same irons  (I'm not sure if they're considered blades,  they're an 'in-between' I think....  Titleist 990B's)  for the past 12-13 years  (I bought them right when they came out... it's been a long time!)   and I don't have any noticeable marks on the faces.... either I don't play enough,  I hit the ball like a 2-year-old,  or they don't mark-up as much as his.    If I could cause "wear" on the face,  I'd be depressed when I found wear marks on the heel and toe  !!!

I had been delayed in the proshop where the pro was complimenting me on my swing and saying he wished he hit it like me. This was after the drinks cart girl was hitting on me. Took me ages to get rid of her.

Question:

What is a good place to buy replacement headcovers?

I'm sorry ... Shorty can really irk me sometimes, he can be grumpy sometimes, and just a general horse's you-know-what as well.  But this thread ... he is cracking me up.

Yeah Shorty was pretty much dead on in this thread.  Anyone seen any pics of the Hogan irons with a wear spot the size of a dime yet?

What a great thread.

Surely someone has a set of these irons at home.  Find a blowtorch and make the appropriate dime-sized markings.  I'll create a phantom username and print the screen-shot and send it to you.  We'll start a collection among the members to reimburse whomever agrees to destroy their irons for the cause.

Classic.

The way he mentioned it seemed a little off especially the "I wore out my old ones" suggests he was bragging.  And I was looking at a previous thread http://thesandtrap.com/t/45647/sweetspot-on-irons-where-the-good-players-hit-it and a dime seems pretty god damn small to be hitting the ball everytime.  But OP could post pictures and prove us all wrong.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
