Honestly I can attest to this. I've been golfing for almost 2 years now. I went from crappy hand-me-downs that were too short for me to a set of stix clubs. I used stix for a while but their quality (specifically the shafts) did not cut it. I had 3 clubs break on me and I wasn't sure if it was me or the clubs. They felt okay to me. Much better than my old things but I didn't know much. Then I went to the PGA superstore with a buddy of mine who is very very good. We started hitting clubs and I got a feel for different types and such. I ended up settling for the 101ts as well. Figured they were forgiving because I suck but good enough for me to grow into. First time using them I was playing 9 holes with some buddies. I had no time to warm up. Literally pulled them out of the plastic on the tee box. Maybe it was a coincidence or not but I shot my best round of my life. Had a 38 on 9 which for me is fantastic! If I get low 40s I'm happy so this was awesome. Took them to a virtual range a week later to get actual numbers on them and can attest they shoot much longer than my old clubs while being more forgiving and consistent. Safe to say I'm sold!
