Slightly OT but I tried the Cobra Tour Rusty wedges last night. Very impressive. I don't need wedges and I dang near brought them home. Really like the sole design. Leading edge is nice low opened up, flops were easy to hit off the firm mat in the sim at PGA SS. Looked and performed like a custom wedge. Would be a great complement for the AMP Cell irons.

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).


Well, I couldn't convince myself to spend $900 on a set of irons. I decided to go a completely different way, I purchased the Cobra AMP Cell irons in silver, steel shaft.

I know, I know, was this a wise move, I guess only time will tell but here is what happened. I was at the range and guy I was next to had a set of Cobra AMP Cell iron. We got to talking and he let me try the irons. Now as everyone knows hitting at a range is not like hitting in the store. I hit the Cobras nicely in the store, but I killed them on the range. Distance, ball flight, the feel of the ball off the club face, etc., etc. was really good. So I got to thinking, why am I paying $900 when I can spend $500 for a really nice set of irons? I also thought I already have a set of Pings.

I wonder how many other people get their heart set on one set of irons only to wait a month and then go a completely different way?

You won't be disappointed I don't think. Then you can take that $400 savings and celebrate your low round. ENJOY! They really are some great irons....and purty too. :-)

      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.
