So I am pretty new to the forum, and have a quick question...
I am looking for a new set of irons and have hit about 7 or 8 different sets at Edwin Watts on the launch monitor. I have narrowed my selection down based on the results. The winners were definitely the ping G10's followed closely by the 2006 Callaway Big Bertha's. These two were consistantly longer, higher and straighter (narrow dispersion pattern) than the other irons tested.
My question is this: Does brown impact tape effect the performance of the club at all? The ping G10's were demo clubs so they were not taped during the session. I averaged 6 yards longer and 3 MPH more ball speed with the pings. All of the other irons were taped up during the session. Would the tape on the Big Bertha's account for any of the difference?
My ball flight was mostly high with a very small draw. Other irons tested were X20's, Titlist AP1, Cobra S9, Nike Sumo, and Tour Edge Exotic EX-3. As far as my golf game, I shoot high 80's to low 90's. The irons are definitely the most inconsistant part of my game.
I am trying to determine if the difference in performance is worth the difference in price. You can find pretty good deals on 2006 Big Bertha's, though I prefer the looks and performance of the G10's slightly more. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks for helping out...
