When we’re talking technology we know with drivers there has been some big improvements in the last decade is that going to help you obviously that all depends where you strike the ball on the face so that’s going to have an effect on how that golf cup is going to perform

For you today we are talking about irons and we are talking about some 2012 G20 irons a forgiving iron from the range over a decade ago how are they going to compare to the latest and greatest today how are they going to compare to the Ping g430 IRS which have been a massive

M hit in the last year but is it for me to test or shall we get a mid- handicap golfer on here we have got one waiting in the wings he’s absolutely freezing here in the studio as it is minus four outside and that’s why we’re not on the

Golf course but let me hit a couple of shots here and talk through a little bit of the technology from over a decade ago so we obviously know the G range hasn’t changed with ping and we know that obviously the the big base around that is forgiveness so are they forgiving are

They getting you hitting more greens that’s exactly what we want to know from these golf clubs obviously we’re trying to think has it changed in distance-wise are we losing distance or have we gained distance with the technology what have they done to get you to hit that golf b

A little bit further obviously that’s a big talking point we’re going to talk through with Dave but first of all guys if you are looking for secondhand golf clubs if you are in the range of that is your budget you don’t want to spend over

,000 on a set of golf clubs these clubs are from Golf Club for cash so a secondhand shop they do have a store in Warrington which is the shop that I did go to a fantastic range of pretty much every single brand you can think of and

They also have a store in Edinburgh but you can buy them online but just make sure guys when you are buying secondhand clubes whether it’s from somewhere like golf clubs for cash golf bidder eBay your friend’s friend make sure that they are the right length and right L angle

You could buy some clubs get a bargain on them they’re only maybe 300 for a set but if they’re at a four degree upright and they’re an inch longer they’re not going to help you but obviously over the years we saw previously on the channel I

Did test the driver out and Dave will be testing the driver the R11 driver that I did have and for me I didn’t see obviously too much difference maybe on when I was trying to shape the shot and it was slightly offc centered we did maybe see a little bit

More loss in distance but the feel wise felt pretty similar yes the sound has Chang they have worked on that over the years here for me I’m hitting a 7 ey there around about 150 yard to 160 yards again not trying to hit this full just

Trying to control it we know one big thing with the G Series especially in the g20s there was some offset so if you’re a slicer of the golf ball these certainly were directed towards you for a mid handicapper Dave somebody who misses it left maybe it wasn’t the right

Club for you they are game improvement is and they did always favor to towards the slicer of the golf ball which we know is the majority of golfers including myself when I was first playing I did have a very large slice some could say I still have it

Now but what’s the big difference obviously nice and easy to hit a big face Big Top Line we know they’ve got the wide so so that is again for that little bit of forgiveness but how do they look down to the latest the g430 and how do they compare with a mid-

Handicap golfer just like yourself so here we have the g430s we know exactly what we’re getting we’ve got that flex zone so we know we’ve got seven Flex Zones that are getting you increased ball speed but Dave’s going to come in here now with the g30s and we’re going

To be comparing the 79 here today I’ve got the 79 from the fitting kit here we’ve got each standard Loft we’ve got a very similar shaft in there so a regular 95 G shaft for Dave so let’s see how it does obviously looking down them Dave you know they’re screaming out obviously

Forgiveness they are but they’re also screaming out offset I used to have the model before these yeah with a graphite shaft the Greek g15 g15 and I had them I had them for a few years um but I’ve gone through a few sets of clubs since

Then I’m not sure that my distances have actually improved our dispersion but who knows yeah and that’s it again guys in irons have we seen a massive Improvement yes these ions the g20s were perimeter waited we know we’ve got a lot of forgiveness here in the pink at g430s

But there was the K1 15s I think at the same time in 2012 which were even more forgiving than the g20s but we know ping is very much known for forgiveness very ping looking clubs and we’ll compare the looks shortly straight away Dave we’ve got a little bit of turn on that

Distance wise uh you know what I’d say that 132 that’s probably about 10 yards down on what I me um 10 yards down on what you would normally hit it well a couple more let’s hit three with this and then let’s switch over so guys we

Are going to be doing this series over the year again comment below what would you like to see from 2013 did you buy golf clubs in 2013 what was your favorite as we are due to go back to golf clubs for cash and see what they’ve got or should we

Let Dave loose pick his dream set from 2013 that’s a nice high shot Dave C wise little bit better very consistent carry wise and distance so yeah maybe it’s just cuz it’s absolutely freezing it is rather cold in here we do have a shutter on here guys I know everybody else is

Why have we got woolly hats and a lot of layers on we do have a roller shutter there might be some gaps where the uh the fresh air is getting in let’s say don’t mat for giving the F it like that though let’s go one more Dave cuz I

Don’t think that was the golf clubs on unfortunately no no it certainly wasn’t but is it ever that’s the real question is it is it ever the golf clubs again these golf clubs are coming in just over 200 I believe they are £28 for this set of irons it goes down

To a 9 iron so you would then need to look obviously at getting a pitching way to make up the sets but plenty of those at golf clubs for cash again Carri there you’ve obviously carried it a yard further every single time 135 so maybe a

Little bit down so let’s swap in now for this g430 again we know we’ve got that wide sole we know we’ve got a little bit of a thicker top Edge on that but how does it compare so we know obviously with these we have got again a cavity back we know

We’ve got that probably wider so on that G20 and we know that is for forgiveness and that is for the interaction with the turf to make sure that you are still getting a strike probably a little bit of a thicker top Edge on this club Dave yeah definitely I think this this looks

Little bit sleeker yeah it does yeah and that’s where technology might have obviously improved over the times they have been able to get the weight distributed a little bit better we’ve got the tungston waiting in the g430s I think the s’s as wide but they’ve shered

It at the back so it doesn’t look quite as wide yeah and that is obviously again it’s still going to get you the interaction through the turf when we eventually get out in the golf course but also maybe for a little bit of bag appeal you’ve not got those you’re not

That person who’s got the big clunk irons in the bag we can’t have CU you’ll have head covers on Ro correct Dave would have head covers on hide in his clubs anyway somebody tried to Fox me the other day when not playing with them while I taking a shot somewhere else to

Swap some of my head covers you’re joking but you you caught on Dave well I I yeah eventually I think it took me two shots with a 9 before I realized it were actually pitching which no wonder the handicap’s not coming down mck killbride if you’re watching keep doing

It straight away different sound let’s look at the carry is it consistent same exactly the same I caught it a bit fat if I’m honest but yeah so that’s interesting there obviously that the ones that you hit with this G20 were well struck shots obviously there

Straight away a little bit of a drop kick but has gone just as far let’s see if Dave can find the elusive middle yes you can a little bit better Dave yeah and a bit further and a little bit further see that’s what I’m expecting 132 carry and a 142 total 10 yards

Further let’s go one more again curvature wise pretty similar it be interesed on the golf course if we do see and again guys we are going to be getting out and playing nine holes with this full set from 2012 it’d be interesting to see again a little bit of a drop kick

What the difference in scaring there’ be between these and up toate ones so guys that’s exactly what we are going to do we are going to get outside we know Dave’s last score here at Waterfront he did shoot 40 using his Tacomo 101 T’s which again affordable irons but these

Are coming in around about 300 cheaper than that is that going to affect his performance what can he shoot over nine holes not just with these irons obviously with the woods that we’ve chosen for him we’ve got a rescue in there we’ve also got some vogi wedges if

You can name which ones were they were the SM wat in 2012 then we’re going to start to see what he can score with them is it affecting his chipping we’ve also got a putter a very classic putter we have got a two ball Odyssey which is still again

Modern day there is newer version of that same face and we’re going to see what he can score with those again behind me I’m hoping Dave hitting some good ones 130 carry there so one big reason why these are going further is exactly what you can see on the screen

Now we can see that in 2012 your 79 would be lofted at 32° but if we go into the modern day clubs now you can see that we are down at 29° with a 79 in the g430 we know obviously technology has advanced a little bit that yes the lofs have got

Stronger but they are still getting that higher launch we’ve seen that that does lower spin which for Dave maybe is not a good thing cuz that might not get in the Mo carry so it’s finding that happy balance and this is where you go for a fitting guys make sure you’re taking

This all into account do you want to spend a th000 Plus on a set of golf clubs or could you get some that maybe are not as old as these g20s maybe something a little bit newer that still perform just as well so guys think about that if you are looking for secondhand

Golf clubs then obviously that is a great option for you to go but the losss are slightly different so don’t obviously go in there thinking right okay well the 79 is going 10 yard shorter it is going to go shorter because of the Loft difference we know

That with this set the g20s the 69 would be the same as the 79 in the g430s but price point is very different but if you’re looking for secondhand clubs make sure you take into account that they have the correct L angle and also they are the correct length for you

There’s a lot of golf clubs out there on the market that maybe don’t state that don’t be caught out by that but thank you to golf clubs of cash but again giving us these clubs to be able to test and put against the latest and Dave’s

Clubs and start to see should you be going second hand or is new better
