Date: March 11th, 2026 11:03 AM Author: cerebral kitchen mexican It seems kind of backwards to have a set of stronger lofted large head players distance irons, with a smaller players cavity iron at the 5 iron. Seeing any gapping issues at 5-6 iron? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5307599&forum_id=2...#49734437) |
|
Date: March 11th, 2026 11:19 AM Author: violet parlor It's an experiment because I want to maybe switch to blade type irons but with lighter graphite shafts. right now I have project X 6.5 125g shafts in the i500s and they feel like bludgeons. need to get that smooth flow back.
I don't really like the t100 all that much either tho. |
|
Date: March 11th, 2026 11:30 AM Author: cerebral kitchen mexican You're like a scratch or something right? I assume you could play anything on the market in terms of ball striking.
It's also kind of interesting with some of the testing and face mapping done by testers (askgolfnut, coolclubs) are really showing that a lot of clubs geared toward lower handicap golfers are actually more "forgiving" around the face in terms of the carry distance drop off being smaller from center, relative to game improvement or even player's distance irons. Like my Ping i230s did better with mishits than the Mizuno JPX 921 Forged I played the season before, both in my own experience and testing I've seen, even though they're supposed to be a more low handicap oriented club...they're 7 or 8 yards shorter due to higher loft and less hot face, but you can hit your number from a greater portion of the face. |

Date: March 11th, 2026 11:43 AM Author: violet parlor I'm a 6 handicap and kind of a sps iron player. I played DCI 962b irons for a very long time and I always liked the small heads for long irons more than with the short ones. the i500 long irons feel like you're hitting the ball with a cricket paddle.

Date: March 11th, 2026 1:01 PM Author: cerebral kitchen mexican What do you dislike about the T100? I thought the 2025 T150 was quite good when I hit some balls at store with them. A couple of yards longer than my i230 and Cobra King Tours but a bit less forgiving and lower spin. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5307599&forum_id=2...#49734681) |

Date: May 31st, 2026 5:53 PM Author: violet parlor I shot 82 but 46-36 split. Guy I played reminded me of the alpha aspie ada thread from years ago. I thought he might hand me a can of tuna or ask me if iPods are crazy. I went and pounded two woodfords on the rocks after the round and he went and hit balls then went to the gym at like 7pm. Guy is 57 and we both walked carrying our own bags late in the day.
Every shot counts and making the birdies and good recoveries is what separates good rounds from shitty ones. No one has the time or energy and is too old to just GIR par every hole. Need to take what you can when you can. |
