Before I became interested in the HB Turbos I was looking at Ping G10’s. How would they compare? I know there’s a few years between them.

just catching up on the earlier part of the thread...... How tall are you? Did you get the custom fit? Are they standard lie? Which shafts did you go with?
For those of you playing these, what does the rest of your bag look like? I currently have a D and 5W. I love my Mizuno 5w off the tee for when my driver isn't playing nice, but not so much off the deck. Considering looking at a Hy-wood and a 4 hybrid to fill the gaps.
No lie adjustment necessary?So played a few rounds now. I done a online custom fitting am 6ft 6 play 1 inch longer no other adjustments do have kbs120 stiff shafts. I did have to wait ten weeks for shipping however cleveland did give me 2 dozen z stars as a goodwill. My thoughts these clubs are like rockets hitting a lot more greens in reg ( 3 putting for fun ) . My mishits seem to have a slight draw to them so can't complain. These clubs are very strong my 8 iron is covering 160-165 so gained 25 yards . One other benefit I've notice bump and run shot have become very easy due to the nice chunky sole. Will report back again soon happy golfing

I know that Cleveland doesn’t really need to entice people to buy the Halos with all the publicity. But if TE can offer a demo E522 7 iron for 40 bucks, why can’t Cleveland do something similar for us fence-sitters that don’t have physical access to Halos? I hate dropping a dime buying a set of Halos sight unseen. Just sayin’.

So they’re more upright than standard lie and they’re softer flex than what you may expect? How upright would you say they are? 1 degree?These irons change my golfgame completely. Before I tried to bomb the driver to have a short iron in because I could not hit anything longer than 8 iron. Some months ago I hit a socket with my 5 iron into the pool on a 195 yard par 3 and then I went home and youtubed easy to hit irons. Saw these videos that were posted earlier in this thread and bought a single 5 iron 2 degrees flat. Completely changed everything. I ended up ordering a 4 iron (2 degrees strong) and now my 5 wood is out of the bag. I am now comfortable with the middle/long irons. And yes I ordered the whole set... but 3 degrees flat since they are more upright than other irons. Not sure I needed the SW and DW but I said fck it, and I sometimes mishit my short irons also. I ordered them stiff graphite, but they really feel like regular. My old stiff irons are definitely stiffer. Something to think about if you order online without testing them.
The reason I didn’t get these, or the hb turbos, is because Cleveland said they cannot be lie adjusted beyond 1 degree of standard and I need at least 2 degrees upright.My answer would be the same as that I gave a few pages back regarding the PXG 0311XPs.
The G10s are probably like most current GI clubs, albeit with weaker lofts. I doubt they are that much less forgiving.
If you are swinging well, you'll hit them well. Likely just as good as the Halos.
But if you swinging well you can hit any club well. You could hit blades as well as the Halos.
The big positive (for me) with the Halos is what happens when you swing badly.
They won't magically swerve a pull hook to the right. Or send a thin shot sky high. Or a fat shot long.
But they will punish those crappy swings less than any other club I've tried.
I hit some great shots with my Halos the other day. But I think they would have been great with my PXGs. Or my old Forged Tecs.
The difference was that I hit a couple of very average shots with them that would have been truly awful with normal clubs.
And very average versus truly awful is a real stroke saver.
The XL Halos are getting a lot of love here. It makes me curious, what is the difference for those of you who also played the HB Turbos?
