In a time long long ago, I used to be a good player... Now I am a touch older, don't play as much and not as good as I used to be... Was a .8 index now am 6.8, and should probably be higher than that.. I have a hard time breaking 80 anymore.. Low round is 34-30=64.. But this past season was rarely under 82..
Dunno if this helps and by was on a launch monitor with a Cleveland SL290 and had avg ball speed of 166 launch of about 13 spin rate of 2800-3000 and carry of about 274.. I have never had my irons tested...
My current set up is:
Driver - Titleist 905 S
3 wood - Titleist 13.5 975F
Iron - 2-PW Ping I3 + Blade
Vokey 52 56 60 wedges
I am looking at a new set of irons first, something a lot easier to hit... Want to dump the 3 wood and 2 iron and eventually get a 4/5 wood and a hybrid.. I don't always use the 60 degree.
I have hit the Nike VR Pro Combos, Titleist AP1 and AP2, Cleveland CG1 CG16 pro and CG16 Burner 2.0..
I liked the VR Pro Combos a lot and the AP2s.. However I am concerned that they will be a little tough to hit. I was hitting on an optimal day on a range during a demo day.. I was able to hit the 9 6 and 4 of the VR but only the 6 iron of the AP2.. I liked the AP1 as well, however did not like the look and felt I hit the 2 just as well or better...
I would like to try the Ci9s and the Adams CB1 black.. but have not located any demos of those..
I keep leaning toward the look of the Pro Combos and liked the way the flew and felt.. I just keep falling back on if they will be easier to hit than the Ping I3+ blades.. I like the more traditional looks, but my swing just isn't the same it used to be..
Any opinions are welcome.
Thank you,
Joe
