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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
