The best set of irons was and always will be the Ben Hogan APEX II... sure they are blades and everyone complains about there being a small sweet spot... but they beautiful clubs and they feel amazing when you hit that sweet spot.

They don't feel any different than any other irons when struck on the sweet spot.

I drank the Eye 2 kool aid too and bought a set of BeCu irons with the zz lite shafts. Still have them. They must have been revolutionary in their day compared to the butter knives available from the competition then. Compared to almost any good OEM set this century though? Not so much. They're at least a club shorter, less accurate and forgiving than my current sticks (JPX 825 pros). I will say the build quality of the old Eye 2s was so much better than the G10s I was playing before tai started drinking the Mizuno Kool Aid.

Jmo, I love my titleist 735cm's, they have the best of both worlds, 3-7 irons are cb and 8-pw are mb,... The only thing I wish they did a bit different would be to have the 7 iron be a mb too, Plus I love the look of the irons when addressing the ball..

It is what it is

Wilson fg17 I bought these new in 1983, and I occasionally take them out for a spin. Surprisingly they aren't all that hard to hit. Perhaps it's because the head is so small that I focus more on the target and the strike then I do mechanics.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I am fascinated by this article. Given so many are upset, I would love to see how the calculations changed for them. In the USA, it likely reduced handicaps, at least for me. In the UK it appears to inflate handicaps but not uniformly?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
