Re: New Irons

At the end of the day: If it looks good, feels good then it is good

I personnaly don't like the look of Ping, though Ping generally are the exception to the looks good part of my rule as a mate of mine was wanting to sell his old pings & was trying desperately to sell them to anyone & everyone even had me hitting balls on the range with them. Hated the look of them not to mention the awfull offset of them. But I'll admit in use didn't feel too bad & went well enough. But I didn't want them & no amount of balls down the range was getting me to buy something I didn't like.

The only Pings that look even slightly nice if slightly military looking are the S58 irons. If I tried these & got on with them then I might be tempted, however with Ping irons generally being £90 per club its £900 - £990 a set at most places. You also need to be wary of online fakes, even from supposedly reputable dealers as Ping now only deal through club Pro-shops. So anything available for £400 will probably be fake.


So get yourself down to your local reputable golf emporium or golf pro-shop & start trying out clubs.

I use Yonex C280 irons which I like. (Not keen on any of the rest of their current range of irons btw) The bounce on the SW is now a bit too high for my swing so may look to update my irons in 2010 when the new groove regulations officially come in to force for the manufacturers.

Irons that have been tempting me recently have been all the WilsonStaff irons (but not Wilson) the Cleveland CG Red irons. Many of the Snake eyes irons. I've even been suprized by some of the New Nike irons, the ones that look like the Titleist irons that I also like as well. But that's just for me of course. There are other irons I like the look of but that's just a selection.
