  1. That is true, I have no problem with a 60 yard shot but when I was always trying to "go for it" with a 3 wood, many times I would miss hit it and end up left or right and in the junk. I found that I scored better when I kept in in play. Hope that makes sense.
  2. The big thing for me was course management. I learned to lay up to a yardage that I could get to the green on my next shot which would be 80 to 120 yards. For instance, if I am 260 yards out I could try and hit a 3 wood and end up who knows where and I will not hit the green. What I started doing is picking a club that I could hit lets say 160 yards which will give me a nice 100 yards on the next shot.
  3. Snell MTB Red / Yellow. Good distance and short game spin. Looking for a replacement since MTB Red is discontinued. Testing yellow balls.

  5. I went with at 3.0 last year and I love it.
  6. I have played both and find the Q-Star holds the green a "little" better than the e6 but that is not saying much. They both are about the same distance and both lack spin. Not impressed with either one.
  7. Just took out the 3 & 5 and went with a 4 wood. So far I am very happy.
  8. I am Roman Catholic
  9. I have been testing clubs at the local golf store and ... the winner is....... (drum roll).... the Ping i15. I plan on ordering them as soon as I prepair "the boss" for my new purchase. I may have to take her out to dinner a few times to soften her up a little.
  10. I appreciate all of your opinions. Maybe I should explain a little about why I am looking to switch and my swing. My name is CrazyGolfNut… and… I…am a hooker. I am a consistent ball striker but am short and straight with a tendency to turn a small baby draw (which I like) into big hooks. I pick the ball with little or no divot. After spending time with two professional fitters and a teaching pro, they all came to conclusion that the large offset and wide soles of the G10 are too much for me. They all independently suggested I look for an iron with less offset and smaller soles and they picked out the irons that I listed. I spent time hitting all except the Ping i15s. I think the only reason they mentioned the i15’s is because I have been a loyal Ping user for years. At this point in my life, I will try just about any brand. Actually, I don’t like the looks of the new Ping i15 and haven’t heard much about the Tour Edge XCG. The Mizuno MX300 felt good with harsh miss hits and the Adams a7 felt light but smooth.
  11. I must admit that I am still confused. Has anyone hit the a7 5 iron?
  12. Never thought of trying the MP series but will give them a try.
  13. Thats a good question. I have only hit the MX300's and found them to be forgiving. The fitter I was working with did not even suggest anything in the MP line. The said the MX300 is like a bridge between the two lines. Maybe I should give them a try.
