This is a great post. I agree with you 100% Frank and I too struggled with the early portion of the OP. This person that appears to be passing judgement ("shaking head"), has done the exact same thing frankly. He has irons that are new. He is currently forum testing ATV wedges and bought one himself and they are new. Why? Did his previous irons not work out as well?
I believe that some make changes too often. I really do. But I also believe that is part of the love for them and that judgement should not be passed because they are enjoying the game of golf the way they do, which might be different than how someone else does. As long as they love the game, that is all that should matter.
Well, it appears I owe you an apology for offending you as well. I've said it numerous times on the forum, I am a straight shooter and blunt guy, but more sarcastic than anything...I guess it just doesn't translate online sometimes. Sorry for that, I'm honestly bummed out that I offended you and Frank. Although it appears I offended some on here, I am still happy I made the thread...I got the answers I've been looking for for years. It makes more sense to me now, and I am relieved that the reason is because it's fun, it's enjoyable, it's a hobby, it makes the game better for you on a personal level, and so on...not like the club hoarders I know from real life, who have point blank blamed swing flaws on their clubs repeatedly.
For what it's worth, I changed to i20's because my MP37's were 7 years old and were worn beyond belief (see below). Plus, I finally got over the ego aspect of wanting to have blades and realized that having a more forgiving iron would benefit me greatly, while not losing much of anything in terms of feel or workability. My 54° wedge that was replaced was 11 or more years old, and the 50° I purchased was to fill a gap. I dropped my 3 iron when buying new irons, and have never owned a 50° previously. My driver in my bag is over 7 years old, my 3 wood is 10 years old, my hybrid is 7 years old as well.
Asks the man with the i20 irons.
If your handicap continues to go down, who cares how you get there. If you can afford them why should anyone have a say in that. Someone ask me once how many sets of clubs I have had in my life. Answer, as many as I wanted.
See above. Also, I don't "care", I was curious...so I posted the question,.
OP, so why did you switch to the latest Ping irons and KBS shafts? Better numbers?
For me it's fun to try all of the different designs and styles of irons. I'm trying to leave the bag alone for at least 3 years at a time, but it's tough with Roger dunn being so close by.
See above.
