Had a little money left from a bonus check and thought I would pick up some forged irons. Have an appointment this Saturday with a local fitter to have the irons adjusted, impact tape and lie board for each club. So nice and shiny I hate to even hit them

Couldn't wait till Saturday, took 1/2 day off work and went to see my local fitter to have some adjustments made. Planning on a couple of range trips this week before putting them in play Saturday morning.

How 'bout some more porn

Not me. To me, most things on forums hinge around semantics, so I couldn't care less. I was just being a bit of a troll cause I know that subject gets a lot of panties in a wad.

This.......but who cares. All I know is these things are sweet. Stopped by the range on the way home for a large bucket and WOW.....just WOW. Hybrids coming out on the bag and the 3 & 4 iron are going in. Can't wait to get these things on the course.

So, what is it about these sticks that make you choose the long irons over brids? I too prefer long irons over hybrids even though I may lose some hittability out of long rough.

Nope, but those are nitro groups that make the molecule go bang.

While doing the fitting when we got to the 3 & 4 I told Terry not to worry too much about getting them perfect that I normally carry hybrids. He said "I bet you hook them", and I said "yep, have to play about a 15 yard draw", which is not a problem because it's consistant. Then after hitting balls with impact tape with the 3 & 4, every swing was dead center, he said I would be crazy to carry hybrids. Yesterday at the range the long irons were straight at the target every shot. Probably still to early to pass judgement but if I hit them as well on the course as I do the range, so long hybrids.

My wife just asked what I was doing.  "Looking at porn" I replied.

Nice!

Excellent. I bet hitting that 3i flush is a sweet feeling. Mine too.

you know i go out and pick up some new irons and shine them up and admire them, then i come into this thread and you throw up these pictures. shame on you sir.

it's like i had a chrysler 300 that looked like a phantom and you just rolled up in a phantom next to me.

great looking clubs, and i like the i15 20*, it just took me a little while to get used to and i did have a hook with that for a little while but i was playing it too much like a wood.

 G20 3 Wood (15* Stiff Flex)

 i15 3 Hybrid (20* Stiff Flex)

Well, I would call the first weekend with the new sticks a success. Shot 82 on Saturday and 79 today and took a triple on 11 both days . So far I'm about a 1/2 a club shorter with the Mizuno's compared to my Ping i15's. I'm think that once I get more time with them, the distance will increase. I feel like I was being real cautious with most of my swings.

I only got a couple of full swings with the R12 and it feels good. What was amazing was how much harder the Ping wedge felt compared to the Mizuno's.

I'm liking the R12 wedges, bought a 58/10 to replace my Ping 58*. Big difference in the feel, the Mizuno's have a really soft feel and taking a bit to get used to. Seems like I can take a little more aggressive swing around the greens which means I can spin the ball better. With the Pings the ball seemed to jump off the face too much to get too aggressive.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By Zeph ·

      This weather is curing my winter depression rapidly. “Dugnad” today. A Norwegian word for community or voluntary work. Many clubs has one in spring and one in autumn where everyone is invited to help with various tasks on the course to prepare it for the season or winter. Lots of trees and branches were cleared today. Opening in March is not unlikely at this rate. 15 C and sunny could be mid summer.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      It’s a start and it’s enough to keep me motivated while I work on consistency, my short game, putting, and correcting my slice. Thanks. Sound advice - I like it. I went ahead and bought a couple spiffy newer Callaway woods on eBay to try out so I won’t have a mixed bag, but I’ve been thinking the same thing and I won’t be letting go of my old Taylormades any time soon.
