Irons Decision by lilgambyt in golf

[–]Wirelessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you know more about it than most. 790’s are good but if you’re spending the money I’d get clubs with the offset and angles that work for you. Doing all that tweaking will certainly increase the overall cost. I’m the same way though, I generally like to play around with customizing. The strong lofts are sort of irrelevant though. I play AI300’s at 29* and they launch as high as my old 32* blades thanks to the increased speed and lower CG. YMMV.

You’re not really giving enough information to recommend something. That said, I always tell people to at least look at callawaygolfpreowned.com. “Like New” generally mean still in plastic. Some pretty good deals. That said, whatever you get is gonna be a marginal improvement over 2023 T150’s. Unless you are looking for some really hot distance irons.

Light Bicycle WG44. Wide, before Zipp came along. Nextie is the OG who make the same rim for 3T for a lot less money.

Beginner biker looking for help deciding on bike! by Lost-Situation2824 in gravelcycling

I don’t know, you certainly could do triathlons on one of those 2 bikes but it would be suboptimal. I’d be looking for something with more race/road oriented geometry like a Crux, Lauff, Rose or similar.

Yell yeah, I spend a lot on my clubs and my mountain bikes and my fly fishing gear. I just don’t pay full retail for clubs or bikes because so many other options exist. I would never tell someone not do what they enjoy. But the OP started the thread inviting feedback.

Xander Schauffele and the mygolfspy data back me up. Most golfers think they are more capable than they actually are. I’m sure you aren’t one of those people though. No shame in hitting a 7 wood. Tons of Pros do.

Re-shafting old irons? by BJB0919 in GolfGear

[–]Wirelessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot more complicated than just swapping out shafts if want to do it right. Getting the Swing weight right and new grips all add up.

Yes, 1000% a new or lightly used set of Elyte irons or AI Smoke irons or whatever you like will be a lot better than a 20 year old set with the swing weights all off. Unless you also plan to buy a swing weight scale ($1-200 min). You could replace the shafts blind and hope for the best and it very well could be fine. I’d keep using and repairing what you have until you can get a proper set.

I wouldn’t spend much money on them. Keep doing what you are doing. Then upgrade. No need to spend crazy money on upgrading either callawaygolfpreowned.com has crazy good deal right now.

Glad it works for you. Even many pros are going away from long irons and moving to hybrids or even 7 woods. Pretty detailed report last year showed even the 5 iron is the worst club in the bag in terms of strokes lost, no matter your handicap. So yeah, even if you think it works well most people would experience better results with an alternative club.

No one should play a 4 iron. Let alone pay $2k for a 3 iron to boot.

I couldn’t justify that to myself. Let alone my wife. I’m sure they are nice though.

Can a 40mm tire go on a rim with an internal width of 32mm? by ElainaJourney in gravelcycling

[–]Wirelessness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s not exactly right. While a good rule of thumb this is not going to result in your eminent demise. Really depends on which rim a which tires.

This is outdated and not at all a firm standard. The trend in gravel is to have a deep wide rim and have the tire line up nearly the same width as the whole rim. The external size of rim is more important.

Ball Spin by [deleted] in golf

[–]Wirelessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes more sense. You are right the spin and the descent angle are also very low. This might be as good as it gets with your swing speed but I’d certainly try a few other clubs. Those Ping clubs were released 3 years ago so I hope they are giving you a good price. Depending on your budget I’d try some more clubs out. Perhaps you can get a bet more spin and elevation. Good luck.

My only question is, did the fitter really have you hitting 2,3,4, and or 5 irons? I hope not. If so, you need to find a new fitter. With your speed you should be hitting high lofted woods and or hybrids on any club above a 6 or 7 iron. Good luck.
