Hi all,
New to this forum so hello! I'd be interested to know people's thoughts on the 588 MT 3 Iron? Specifically as a driving iron type arrangement? I have sourced the club and shaft on eBay and I intend to pair it with a Miyazaki C. Kua 59 Hybrid shaft in stiff (ala Charlie Beljan - bit lighter weight on the shaft though!) I like the feel of a lighter shaft over something heavier despite a fast swing speed - personal preference I guess!
I game Adams XTD with the C-Taper 90 in Stiff, off a tee with the 22 degree 4 Iron I can carry approx 215 on a solid strike so I'd be hoping for about 230-240 from the 588 MT, is that realistic with that shaft combo? Gapping would not be an issue for this club being the top of the bag and being my fairway finder (in theory)
Reason I'm asking is as I can't test the club in that combo before I buy, and my wife keeps having a go at me for being a club Ho
I've tried to find the XTD 3 Iron, which is pretty much impossible in the UK, and as above, I would see the 588 as a forgiving Utility iron rather than a 3 iron I want to specifically gap and match with my 4-PW.
All the best!
Iain
