Has anyone tried/owned these irons and the driver, as I am looking at a change to my equipment. Would anyone have any comparisons to ping s58 and 735/695 titleist? Thanks

I have the r7 tp irons and r7 425 tp driver. Funnily enough I just got back from the range about 5 minutes ago. I just picked up the 425 and it was the first time I had a chance to hit it. I'm a bit of an equipment nut and tend to buy clubs online on a whim if I find a smokin deal whick I did for the driver.
After hitting about 30-40 balls with the driver I'm pretty happy with it. It sets up really square being the tp version and I like the slightly smaller head size. The Superquad I have looks a little too bulbus for me and may take a little more getting used too. The stock Rombax 75g shaft has some nice weight too.
As far as the irons go I had it down to the S58's and the R7 tp's at Golfsmith (great minds think alike ) and really liked them both and hit them both equally well. I found a great deal on the TP's hence they are in the bag. You may wan't to look at the mizuno MP60's or the new 57's they are very sweet and I'm currently trying to talk myself out of buying a set The Srixon I-506 can be found for some pretty good deals now also....nice forged iron.

Good luck!

I have th TP irons. I LOVE them. they are very workable and yet somewhat forgiving. A little pricey but they would be worth it.

Alright then, thanks for the input guys. I have decided to wait a while on the irons, as i hit them today and they were a TINY bit unforgiving for an inconsistent ball striker like me

Had it down to Ping S58's, R7 TP's and MP60's - went for the Pings for lower ball flight and control. They look more like players clubs at the address too which throws people off. Also, the word PING puts people off. Don't let it - try them!

The R7's were more forgiving than the other two sets, i would recommend them to someone who is looking for tour standard irons but you want to be striking the ball pretty well to get the most out of them (costly!)

Driverwise - try the standard models as well as the TP's - The standard clubs are designed for the handicap golfer, and are in most cases easier to hit, more forgiving and cheaper.

love the r7 TPs
previously played the 735Cm and MP-32
although not forged these are so much easier to hit ....
the 735 felt a bit harsh although I liked the combo set
the cast irons seem lot more durable but certainly not as much in the feel dept...

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
