A follow up to my initial post on 7/14 re: purchasing the 2.0's. But before I begin, a quick recap...
- Started the year as a 18 hndcp, upon purchase 7/14/11 down to a 14 hndcp and now a 12 handicap.
- spent about 10 hours at the range comparing Mizuno JPX 800 & Pro's, CB2's Callaway Razr's, Cleveland CG 16, Adam Black Cobra S3, Ping G15 to my old set of Cleveland CG 4's.
- Weakness; Driver only 240-250 w/ fade. Puts a lot of stress on my mid-short game
- Strength: 170 yds and in, especially short game
- felt the need to strengthen my irons to make up for my driver as we typically play 6400-6600 yds.
------
I've had the 2.0's for just over a month now. And have played about 27-36 holes and minimum 200+ balls at the range per week. I've finally have a good grasp on my distances. It took me a little longer to get my finesse shots dialed in (chipping; bump & run, etc.), but in a matter of a month, I've already lowered my handicap to a 12 from 14. I can directly attribute this to my new irons as my driver hasn't improved. The 2.0'2 have improved my all around game as I now feel comfortable enough to hit 3 or 5 wood off the tee knowing my long-mid irons have improved dramatically to go along w/ my strength of 100 yds and in.
more details to come...
