40 years of technology overnight...

Ok, so I couldn't resist a great deal on a set of G5 irons with TFC100i shafts...I've been playing with my grandfather's Ping Eye irons with steel shafts from 1978-80.

I found myself going 20 yards longer with some clubs but am starting to recalibrate my distances after a few rounds on our club's practice course...and I'm hitting them more consistently, mis hits aren't as far off, and I hit 4 of 6 greens tonight from various distances from 110-215, finished 6-holes at +2.

I also switched from Black dot to Red dot. Using the Ping charts, I've always been right on the edge of Black & Red and owned a set of Eye2s that Black dot as well as my grandfather's Eyes. I seem to be getting cleaner/smoother contact with the Red dots than I was before...maybe I should've been playing Red dot all along?

I know they are still a decade old and there have been a lot advancements since 2007 when the G5s were made but man, what a difference this change is making for my game.
