What’s In the Bag? ***GOLF EQUIPMENT THREAD***
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
I looked at Sub70 quite a bit myself. Not a lot of LH options from them though, unfortunately for me.
I am going out to play 18 this weekend for fathers day, I havent touched them since last fathers day.
Do you find it very forgiving? The reviews say it's not but it looks stunning. I'm really intrigued by the Cobra King utility driving iron. It's adjustable 1.5 degrees loft up or down. The 3 driving iron is at 19.5 degree and I could get that down to 18 which is what my current 2 iron is. Golf Galaxy only had a Ping 3 driving iron to test out but the Cobra is the one i'm leaning with.
I have been spraying my driver all over the place, but I can hit my long irons much easier and straighter. Anyone have any success with driving irons?
I haven't gotten mine out nearly as many times as I would've hoped by now. Either too busy on good days, or ****** weather on open days it feels like.
Haven’t played on a day without either rain/drizzle or winds over 15mph sustained…or both. Think the best day I played so far was in February.

Taylor Made 790 3I and 4I
5-PW MP-18MB
Vokey SM8 50,56, 60
12 different putters. Mostly a Newport 2.5
First time I've ever had the same bag in back to back years.
I really want to get out of blades and into something more forgiving. Probably Sub 70 659s at this point.

You guys that want a driving iron- Take a look at a P790 2 or 3 iron. They are super hot so you will get the distance in a club that's very forgiving. You can go find a hybrid shaft to put in to make it even better plus you have a club you can use places other than off a tee. I have zero issues hitting mine out of the rough.
Instead of giving up on hitting a driver, go get a lesson. Your instructor will know whether you need fitted for a different club or what your fix will be
I'm not sure who's giving up on the driver. I want a driving iron because their long off the tee, I have a hole specifically at my golf course to use it on. There are holes you just want to place it instead of going all out with the driver.
I got a Sim Max driver this year and just got a new Aldila shaft in it. I love the driver, definitely not giving it up
Seems I golf better when after having a few beers. Guy I golf with, thinks he is a great golfer and when I start out distancing him and chipping better than he does with an old set of clubs, he just gets pissed off.
It’s forgiving enough. Honestly, anything with 18° of loft requires a pretty solid swing/contact. It’s a rocket launcher though. I’m a huge cobra guy and I hated their utility iron from a few years ago. Felt terrible. Their new one looks nicer. PXG driving irons are also really solid.
I'm apparently a ***** with low irons 'cuz I haven't mastered hitting my new 5i yet -- that's 22°, didn't have one before. Most of my strikes feel terrible with it and don't go further than my 6i (which I also don't hit well yet, but better than the 5i). Knowing that, there's zero chance I could hit a driving iron. At best, I might be able to only hit it off a tee at this point.
That said, I've got a 3H on the way instead.

What does everyone use for shot tracking/distances/analytics/strokes gained, all that jazz? I'm doing a free Arccos trial now but haven't played enough to get much out of it yet. I don't expect to pay for the subscription on it. I know Garmin and Shot Scope have some similar devices and apps.
