Same as me, I was all in on the King irons, but the head said FTs were the way forwards....I can hit the Kings but it would be too long a transition period, I want to come out swinging this year and the FTs are the ones for me.
Similar thoughts here. The Forged Tecs are easy to hit and look great. The Tours would just be a replacement of sorts to my JPX919 F. I could easily pick Tours and not look back but part of this experience is trying new things.
Which is why I kicking around graphite in the irons, for sure
I am at the beach this week on family vacation. There is a par 3 course right next to our condo building. I stuck my 6 iron in the bed of my truck while packing so I have it. I am seriously considering going to a putt putt place and paying for a round, grabbing the putter, leaving and heading to the par 3 course. Play it with 6 iron and putter and then return the putter to the putt putt course when I'm done. Is there something wrong with me?
I was hitting the Sim Irons
How much distance would you lose?
I was losing about 18-20 yds, but my spin was more. Normal I hit my sim 7i about 170 total distance and I was hitting the forged tec 7i a little over 150yds. Im fine with losing a little distance, but 20 yds is about 2 clubs.
That's kind of the choice you have to make going up a class in irons. Smaller heads spin more in general. They give you more control for better or worse.
No, I totally get it. I like the spin on the Tecs
I imagine the SIMs are very low spin similar to the M6s. I was longer with the M6 7 and had considerably lower spin compared to my FTs. Some of my differences were probably attributable to the shaft change - CTaper 120s in the M6s vs. Recoil 110s in my FTs.
As a retired dude....I play all my golf M to F unless traveling. Enjoy.
My brother took me to the woodshed on a Par 3 course this afternoon. I need the weekend to recover.
I have a 6:40am tee time on Easter Sunday.
Maybe after you have yours I'll have to bring it out of retirement for a round!
