Alright, I totally understand that every golfer plays whatever equipment optimizes their enjoyment of the game, within their own budgetary restrictions.
In thinking about another recent thread asking about enjoying the game while playing poorly. For me, playing well is a huge factor within my enjoyment of the game. I tortured myself for years trying to play clubs that didn't maximize my potential to score well. Despite being a fairly low handicap player, I have learned I definitely benefit from a GI or SGI iron. In playing my combo set of JPX 900's (HM and Forged) I found that I hit the HM irons really well, and struggled at times with the scoring irons. I've recently switched to the Ping G's and with the exception of one terribly hung over and ill prepared round, I've played really well with them and have felt super confident regardless of which Iron I pull out of the bag.
So I pose the question, knowing that we're all Amateurs here, and that none of us strike every shot pure, why would we not opt for more forgiveness?
