Date: March 10th, 2026 5:32 PM Author: Shimmering Property only change is a titleist t100 2023 model 5 iron w/ Mitsubishi graphite shaft I bought on ebay because the head on my ping i500 5 iron fell off twice in the last two years and feels weird when I hit it. other than that I have 915 D3 driver, 910 15 degree, TSR 18*, 585h 21*, i500 6-PW, vokey 50*/54*/60* and cameron studio squareback (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5307599&forum_id=2~#49732653) |

Date: March 11th, 2026 11:03 AM Author: frozen multi-colored codepig 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: Shimmering Property 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: frozen multi-colored codepig 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: Shimmering Property 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: frozen multi-colored codepig 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: March 11th, 2026 1:09 PM Author: Shimmering Property heads are heads. I thought I'd get like a club more of pop from the graphite shaft and it doesn't really seem the case (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5307599&forum_id=2~#49734712) |

Date: May 31st, 2026 5:48 PM Author: primrose learning disabled church building pozpig I shot 87. Dumped the ball in the water on TWO par 3's, then re-teed and stuck it close and hit the putt for 4 on both of them. That's a great round for me, pretty psyched.

Date: May 31st, 2026 5:53 PM Author: Shimmering Property 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. |
