Hello,

So I have some irons narrowed down to buy and I want peoples opinions on them

1. Nike vapor pro speed  - 4-pw,aw - 549

2. taylormade speedblade combo 3h 4h - 5-pw - 549

3. Titleist ap1 - 6 pw - 500ish

4. ping g30 5-pw - 600ish

 

Opinions please. These would be replacing old tommy armor 845 CS. If I get the titleist or the ping's I'm adding a 4 hybrid in there too.

Which version of the AP1?  If it's 714 or 716 I'd go with AP1 or G30's.  Both are more forgiving irons and will better maintain their resale value, which is evident based on the cost per club in the options you've provided (assuming all are of equal quality).    

The ultimate test is which do you hit the best and like looking down at.

It is the 714. I'm buying them individually from a supplier if it's the ap1 or g30's.

I just figured id be getting more bang for my buck with the nike's

You are and as long as you plan to keep them a while their resale value shouldn't be a big factor, how well you hit them should be.

Yes the problem is demoing them because where I live there isn't anywhere to do so. I'm leaning away from the speedblades because they are an older iron. And with the nikes I could sell the 4 iron and 5 iron and perhaps pick up a 4hybrid to fill in the gaps there.

Just a suggestion: As a 25 hdcp, you might want to consider the TM set with the hybrids.  My longest iron in the bag is a 6-iron.  I have a 5 hybrid what I hit much more consistently than a 5-iron.  Plus, TM hybrids are easy to hit and travel predictable yardages most of the time.

Thanks for the info guys. I usually only hit a 6 iron down. Then 5 wood fills in most gaps. I hit that around 200-220 very consistently. My scores have slowly been coming down. Hitting in the low 90's high 80's right now. I'm going to go look at the nikes and the TM's later tonight.

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
