Hi all,
I am facing a difficult decision. I am in the process of getting new clubs to replace my Ping iE1 irons.
I went to test shafts for my "upcoming CF16" set, but they didn't have CF16 so I hit JPX900 Forged.
That club feels absolute butter. Absolute butter I say. Ok, it launches a little lower than what you'd expect and has less spin, but now I am torn... I am unable to hit the CF16 and based on reviews CF16 spins more, launches higher but still carries the same, even a bit further than the JPX900. But I have some worries. One of them is that the JPX900 line carries no 3 iron, but I guess I could get something in its place...
So:
- Is the CF16 all that much worse feeling than the JPX900?
- Would you say that the low spin/low launch in JPX900 could present problems in getting the ball to stop on the greens? (this has been mentioned in several reviews)
- Are you bothered by the relatively long blade length of JPX900 ? (I find that a little distracting)
- Which is more forgiving on the heel-side?
