Why not bring in someone whose skill is more inline with who these clubs are meant for? Ian is far from average.
And Ian is doing this opposed to Mikey,,,, why?
We need more videos of the average golfer and clubs
26* 6-iron is game improvement? I knew I was out of touch but not to that level. That’s 1* weak of my 4 iron and 6 degrees stronger than my 6 iron.
I know the lower CG plays a role and many players today do not carry any iron stronger than a 6, just seems real game improvement would play weaker lofts only because they are more forgiving and easier to get results from a poor ball striker.
It looked like you mostly hit those in the middle. If you were ranking them for when you miss hit closer to the toe, what would your ranking be? thanks
G430 with that stop and drop is good to see in an iron.
I've caved in and cracked the faces of 2 full sets of AI Smokes with a 90 mph swing speed. This last set caved with 3 range sessions and 1 round of play. Currently trying to get Callaway to let me out of them and into something different. They've been awesome irons though. Just don't hold up.
Love these videos and information they give. Best thing for any viewer to do is go hit them yourself to find what you like. Everyone is different
Ping are my least favourite, but yet most favourite, brand. All their stuff is class, I always want to have something sleeker and shinier, but you test their gear and it just works. And it is a nightmare to get out of the bag, especially in terms of on-course performance.
