Best 5i alternative?

Hi,

Based on forgiveness and distance in mind, which one would you choose? Assuming for slow HS guy who plays straight shots only

I love Crz-UT but no 27*. The Ryoma U may be too big even for me. Thx

I highly suggest to take a look at the egg iron. Perfect for what you are looking for.

The Egg UT is the way to go. Straight shots with soft landings. Very forgiving.

If you want distance, an 11w. They are out there.........

It kind of depends on your swing. Do you want to take a decent divot like you do with your irons or do you want to sweep it and make a tiny divot, if any? Sweepin: Ryoma is nice; Cobra Baffler XL is really easy to hit; Just got the new PRGR Nabla 28* but I haven't hit it yet.

Divot: Best I hit was the Adams DHy in 27*. A lot like an iron with a small sole so you could take a good divot.

How about an ibrid chapter 2?

It's small enough to be a good alternative to 5iron

And lofts come up to your desired loft

Ryoma although 27 will play more like a normal 23/24*

If your 5 iron is too hard to hit you have the wrong set of irons.

Mark is playing the personal 2 so the 5 iron would be a bit more challenging. Put it another way, what distance you want to cover with your swing speed. I have 27 syb but it does go longer than your typical 5 iron regardless the loft is higher.

Mark, what distance you cover with your Ryoma F9? Perhaps you need something like a 30* ute. If so, that a look at the SYB 108EZ at 30*.

Here is the link to the newest egg iron in the pro shop.

If you are looking to replace the 5 iron go for a egg 6 iron.

I hit Crz UT 24* much better than Personal2 4i so just wanna try 27* comparing to the 5i

Now, I'm HK. Let me try all those after getting back to BKK

R, you wanna drop that head at my hotel? Maybe I email you

Wow, this is good board or I'm a beloved guy, haha :-)

No problem Mark. You can have my 27syb ez with tour ad 65R for 37,000 yen or usd350. I would definitely deliver the club to your hotel together with a bottle of wine with my compliments.
