Hi all! I would like to hear the opinions of some more experienced guys! I'm still a high handicapper, but my game is starting to improve nicely, but I'm still playing with some old Spalding irons, and I would like to upgrade. As I'm working on a student budget, I'm buying second hand, and in my price range (and nearby) there are the Ping i3 O-size irons and the Taylormade RAC irons. Which whould you guys recommend? (Also for just a bit more I could get MP60s, but they are probably a bit too good for my level?)

Driver: Cobra Amp Cell-S - 10.5°
Woods: Cobra F-Speed 3 Wood - 15.5°
Hybrids: Cobra Amp Cell 2/3 Hybrid - 16°-19°
Irons: Mizuno MX-15 - 4-PW
Wedges: Titleist Vokey Spin Milled - 52°/8°, Titleist Vokey SM4 - 54°/8°, Titleist Vokey Oil Can - 58°/8°
Putter: Odyssey White Ice #1

Also Ping G2s available for the same price as the other 2 sets. I'm leaning towards the RACs, what do you think?

Which RACs are we talking about? There were many Taylormade models bearing that name MB, TP, OS, LT, and HT to name a few. I've hit them all except the HT and they're all great clubs. I assume you're looking to score a quality set for cheap online. If you're sure about your specs I'd go with the Pings because they tend to be more durable. If you're unsure about specs I'd go with the RACs because you can get the lie angle adjusted if necessary.

Sadly, none of the deals I mentioned went through. I was lucky enough to get a great set of MX15s for a HUGE bargain. I even got a great second hand Cobra Amp Cell 2/3 hybrid extra and paid the same as I would have for the TMs and Pings. So I'm chuffed with that!

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
