TS Airmuscle question

[7fa]

Guys,

Just picked up a TS Airmuscle 2 iron last week to go with my TS-202s. I'm curious if anyone else who has hit the AM thinks it has a "dead" feeling at impact. The ball doesn't seem to jump of the clubface like some other hybrids I've hit and even shots that I hit flush don't have that nice effortless feel and impact that you get when you hit one clean. It doesn't even feel as good as my old XL2000 2 iron. I'm getting good distance off the tee and it is pretty easy to hit off the deck, but I miss the clean impact feel that I'm used to. Am I crazy, or just not hitting the sweetspot?? If it matters it has a Nippon 950 in it. Thanks.

I absolutely love mine. Was good with the NS Pro but even better when I installed a UST Rv2 115g. stiff. Sets up clean and I hit it dead straight. I agree the feel is a little more muted than a PRGR Zoom 050i or a Mizuno Fli-Hi. Perhaps try a low torque graphite shaft with it - the new Fuji 904 hybrid could be interesting. If it still doesn't work, I'll take it off your hands :whistle:

The air muscle isn't so much a hybrid as it is driving iron. I equate it more to a Big Bertha. So what you felt with some of the other hybrids they are more like mini woods. The AM is a hollow iron. I would say I thought it felt more ironlike, but not quite. I only had my AM for about a week :money:

Good point. People should realize that there are intended difference between a driving irons (hybrid iron) and a rescue type hybrid wood. One of these days I'm going to finally decide which I actually prefer.

Thanks for all the comments.

I agree that it should feel different than say a TP rescue club, but it doesn't feel anything like my TS-202 long irons or even my old XL-2000 2 iron. At impact it has more of a "clunk" feel. The ball flight and distance looks pretty good, but it almost feels like a mis-hit on impact. I've hit it may 20 times.... maybe I need to shift the ball position around a little on the clubface and see if that changes it any??
