Hey guys,

 

I dunno if this is the right place to post this. But I will give it a go.

 

I am currently playing on some work down Wilson X31 box irons. And I have come over an amazing deal for either the Nike Vapor fly 5-PW for 430$, Callaway XR OS 5-PW for 430$ or V Speed Mrsir 5-Pw Sw for 250$.

 

The problem is that it's å limiter offer and I dont have time to get fitted. Do any insight is helpfull.

 

Thanks om advance.

I believe the consensus will be to get fitted but...at least get a static fitting so you can know if the length and lie is correct.   I agree that those are some good prices but if they are wrong for you, you'll regret spending any $$.  Golf is more fun with the proper equipment.  

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Yeah, i sent an email asking if they would extend the offer to friday for me so I can atleast try them out.

Both Vapor fly and XR OS usually retail for 815$ here in Norway.

Wilson X-31's...I think George Jetson used to endorse those.  Or was it Space Ghost?  At any rate...I'd say anything would be an improvement and, to that end, the more money you have left over to play the better.  If, on the other hand, the expense is not a significant factor...go with whatever appeals to you.  No set of irons is going to make, or break, your golf game.  Welcome to the site.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

I agree with this ^^^

There's always good deals to be had if you are patient. A local shop here has a NEW Ping G25 irons set ridiculously cheap. They feel so much better than my AP1's. I just don't have the cash to spare right now.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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?
