I have only hit the Cobra's once just for a few swings, but tomorrow we are having Ping demo day at my club.  I am very interested in buying the G25's, I'll let you know how they feel.

I picked up a set of G25's about a month ago. I love them. I have since recorded both my personal record for 18 holes and 9 holes with the new irons. I have never hit the cobra.

Are you using the color that was on the chart for your size, or is it not always accurate?  For my measurements it says I should be Red, but I already fade the ball and the chart makes it seem like I need Black or even Blue because of my fade.  What are your thoughts/suggestions?

Ill tell you this... You need to find a fitter that you trust.... I bought my a set of g15's at one place and they fitted me as a green dot... a year and a half later when I brought them to a different place to get em regripped I was told I was a white dot... My set up could have changed a bit seeing as i've only played for 2 years, but i just wanted to give you my thoughts

The green and white are right next to each other on the chart, so they are not far off.  How are the clubs playing for you even though they might be a little off?  I'm also wondering do you think that your swing has changed in that year and a half?

I have hit both the Ping G25 and the Cobra Amp irons, I'm going with the Pings. But I have played Pings for years and I love them. I currently have the G15s, which I like, but the G25s are REALLY nice. Now I just have to convince myself to it is worth ~$900 for a new set (I play graphite shafts).

To be honest, I hit the white dots the same as the green, I'm great whit the low irons but are terrible w the 3h 4i 5i... I've recently started reading a book called "how to shoot 80" and it has added some accuracy and distance so yes my set might have changed .. I don't feel as upright, although the white dots are suppose to be more upright

Cobra for me, nearly bought the Cell irons before trying the Cleveland 588 TT. I liked the Cobra but I got a great deal on a set of used twice 588 TT's for $300. I had narrowed it down to the Cell and 588 so it worked out. Golfetail sells the AMP Cell set cheap on ebay, winning bids have been in the $320 range.

jimmer1609 go try as many irons as you can keep an open mind. Narrow it down to a couple and come back try them again. This way you have a little time to diggest what you decided and will have a clear head when you pull the trigger on what you want.

Get fitted with what ever you like the most, I got the G25's they fit me in yellow dot, so after three differant fitters came back with the same that was what I got.

I have not looked back at any time with what I decided.

I hit the G25's today for about 30 minutes.  I didn't like them very much.  Nothing felt solid off of the club face even though the ball was going a good distance.  I hit them as well or as bad as I hit my own irons but they just didn't feel solid to me.  I have only hit a few shots with the Cobra's, but I like them more than the Ping's.  In the end it is what feels good to you not anyone else.  I know a lot of people who swear by their Ping's and don't like Callaway's.

I have tried both the G25 and Cobra iron sets and purchased the Cobra. The biggest challenge for me has been learning the yardage for the new irons as they have added 10-12 yards from my previous irons (Taylor Made - Burner Plus). The best iron that I tried was the Mizuno 825. It was really a great feeling iron that offered the same distance I was getting from the Cobra. The Cobra set was on sale at Dicks Sporting Goods for a limited time, ($300 less than the Misuno). With what I saved I purchased the Cobra Driver. The Cobra irons are very good, and I am glad that I made the purchase.

Yeah I'd have to agree. If $$$ wasnt an issue I'd say Ping all day but save the dough and go Cobra.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.
