RIduffer Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 just received a new set of the RomaRo Pro forged irons and giured I would give a quick pictorial comparing a couple of other compact blades... Where not obvious order is RomaRo, Tour Stage Miura(Left to Right) First the pitching wedges Now the 5-iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Those Romaro's frame the ball well......very little offset.....your strikes are awfully close to the hosel ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Cut me some slack, first time with a new shaft/head/grip combo... First few were, but after a brief adjustment most were right on the sweet spot. Note to self, make sure to clean club heads before posting any more photos...

robbie Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 haha...i only asked because ive been closing in on the hosel myself !!! i was wondering if it was due to the lack of offset ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 haha...i only asked because ive been closing in on the hosel myself !!! i was wondering if it was due to the lack of offset ? I add some balance certified weights into the grip on the TS and it really helped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisstrader Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Geat comparison photos of some great clubs! The hosel rocket thing must be going around...I NEVER sh*nk an iron, but with my chikara 58* wedge last few times out I hit a completely unexplainable sh*nk...hate when that happens and never really sure why. Standing too close? Too closed? Not moving through the shot? Was playing great today and one skanked shot added 3 strokes to my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing too close? Too closed? Not moving through the shot? Was playing great today and one skanked shot added 3 strokes to my day. Oddly enough and thankfully I only do it on the range. Went through a fitting once and couldn't hit the ball of anything but the hosel. The fitter thought I was lying about my index. Went the next morning with him and played 2 over through 18, he was dumbfounded... how many grams did u use ???? i have a set of shafts with the 10g and i didnt notice much difference They are about 20 grams. Went from NS SP Blue to 108 gram shafts, so the total weight is not an issue for me. In the Crazy shafts, I had to get them to make some custom ones because the shaft wall on X flex graphite is thicker reducing the interior diameter so much the standard weights didn't fit. It took about 6 months for them to build a set for me. Will find out soon if I need another custom set or if POTS will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 thanks for the pics, i'm falling for this brand a little myself! Oddly enough and thankfully I only do it on the range. Went through a fitting once and couldn't hit the ball of anything but the hosel. The fitter thought I was lying about my index. Went the next morning with him and played 2 over through 18, he was dumbfounded... lol, i just went through this 2 weeks ago. i was with one of my ussual playing partners and shanked a half bucket of balls with every club in my bag on the practice range and couldn't figure it out. almost went home but he talked me into playing the round. played to an uncomfortable 76 and he was wondering how that was possible after witnessing my range session.
