dickyfowler Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'd swing a dead snake if it gave me great distance and amazing forgiveness - so I could be a buyer. But then again - I buy everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started playing that was me... but have since found that I actually strike better when I'm happy with what I'm looking at... psychological I know, but seems to work for me.

dickyfowler Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 well that is disappointing -- even though we know many of the BIG brands these days are made in China. I'm now keen to see what the new PXG irons have to offer - the Gen4's are released in the coming weeks and I know they are definitely made 100% in the USA and are high quality - albeit expensive.

dickyfowler Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have to agree that SCREWS all over the place do not a pretty club make ! I have some PXG's and of course they are covered in hardware, but you don't see it at address and they feel very good....still, I'd prefer a clean look everywhere.

Bahaha...Its called the fugly tree mate. Often planted when no one has any fresh ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyfowler Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 the envelope appears to have been pushed quite some ways when you read all the promos lately - particularly by Callaway with their "AI" tech. I love to see enhancements but I'd be even more excited if they could start coming up with new materials to make the irons - or is steel/titianium etc as good as it gets? Ping used copper and nickel at one time and they've been shelved for various reasons. Cobra recently came out with MIM metalworking and I tried their wedges - felt good. Will be interesting to see what comes next - hopefully something with a WOW factor for us all. We're only asking for clubs that feel sensational - send the ball in the desired direction and stop quickly and when not hit well, correct every fault. But then where'd all the fun be ?
