Looking to replace the ping eye 2 coppers next month. Been doing some research but would like some opinions, pros and cons from guys who have these irons.... I've narrowed it down to : Taylormade TP CB 2014 Sldr Callaway Apex non pro My hdcp is south of scratch, I don't work the ball....I play a draw. I'm going to get fitted so I don't need shaft opinions. All 3 heads look fine to me, but at demo days they all have different shafts so performance wise I can't get a read. Thx!

Two of our members @saevel25 and @WUTiger recently posted reviews on the SLDR irons.  Check those out in the review section.

I am soon to buy some of the TMTP 2014s but may end up with the MCs instead, or a progressive set I buy individually. I want to know a little more myself.

I'll check it out, thx! The CB's for me didn't work with the KBS Tour shaft. The SLDR felt better with the c-taper 120, the 90 went too high and feels skinny in my hands. The Apex I tried a couple shafts in and I liked it. I worry about poor reviews about the satin finish on those. The Apex Pro's look great but where I don't try to work the ball, I'd rather the forgiveness. Forgiveness is a good thing.

    • I have one in my bag. I put it in there for travel purposes, so if my clubs wind up not where I am I can find out where they are and hopefully get them back more easily. It now stays in there. I'm generally not too concerned about them going walkabout like this - I don't leave them unattended. I was one time at Bethpage waiting to sign in when someone came out shouting if anyone had seen their clubs since they had disappeared while they were signing in. I now leave them in my car until I'm done with signing in and go get them afterwards. 
    • Just listened to episode 19 on grip strength. Very interesting stuff. I missed what the long drive competitors grip strength is, but presumably very high.  I suspect that part of the correlation between grip strength and speed is that general body strength is likely correlated well with club head speed and it's difficult to do a full body workout without going to town on your grip. Deadlifts are frequently recommended as a good exercise to do for golf and for a lot of people grip strength is the limiting factor on what they can deadlift. Doing deadlifts will improve your grip strength, so quite plausibly grip strength and club head speed are both caused by making yourself stronger.  Do you have any charts about how grip pressure changes through the swing? I'd be interested to see that.  Lastly, last week I played a tournament round and as I played was thinking about my grip strength and I noticed I was gripping it pretty hard. Then I realized after the round (I did not play very well at all) that I had been very tense throughout my body and I'm now wondering if that tension is the cause of my poor play. I have five tournament rounds and three casual rounds in the last three months. tournament rounds are 84, 81, 80, 81, and 81. Casual rounds are 71, 70, and 72. I wonder if that's caused by tension making it past my wrists. That's a long way of saying the last little bit Erik added rang true with me.  Great episode!

    • Eric, Man, I'm sorry. This video is just too damned boring. I don't know what's going on like half the time. I've tried to watch it a couple of times but I get like 5 to 10 minute in and realize I'm thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner or if I should do laundry on Saturday or if I should do it on Sunday. Then I try to restart it and pay attention and my mind wanders again.  I just can't get through it. Sorry, man.
