I can't believe I haven't seenthis yet! Ron, I'm liking the distance increase with these. I also like hearing that the lightness of the shaft seems to be helping as well. Do you feel the shaft flexing differently than the steel shafts you had at all throughout the swing or at impact? I'm really digging the looks. Keep up the good work!
Okay First impressions after a couple of hours on the range. These really do make a big difference in distance. I hit about 200 balls with them this afternoon and here are some preliminary results.
I hit my current irons like this:
4I-160
5I-145
6I-135
7I-130
8I-115
9I-105
PW-70
GW-85
With the Di11's I'm hitting like this:
4I-180
5I-165
6I-155
7I-140
8I-130
9I-120
PW-110
GW-90
I added 10-20 yards to my carry with these. Even if they were the ugliest irons in the world, and they are not by a long shot, I would switch to these in a hot second to add that kind of yardage!
Even shots missed off the toe or heel, still got better yardage for the most part than my current irons.
I'm pretty sure the 1/2&1/2 shaft has increased my club head speed due to the lightness of the club. It's just completely effortless swinging these.
Some of the other testers mentioned some concern with the grips, I had none myself. These grips are very servicable for me, and I like the grooved design in the grip it makes it really easy to "Feel" when your grip is off.
I'm planning on taking tomorrow afternoon off and going to play a round with these to really give them a good going over. I plan to work the course so that I will be left with a lot of iron shots. I'm going to be very surprised if I don't start breaking 100 consistently with these starting tomorrow.
