Well made a nice little trip to the pro shop yesterday! Was just browsing aronud and ended up hitting a few irons in the simulator. The results were pretty good since i have not been able to hit a ball for 3 months now got some good swings in.
Actually bought two demo clubs that i fell in love with. Cleveland CG red tour spec 6 iron +1/2 inch stiff shaft and being a newbie thought i wouldn't be able to hit the ball cleanly. Well i was pretty wrong mind you this is on a simulator, but average shot was 187 yards with 129 mph ball speed with 19* launch angle. And actually opened and closed my stance and got movement both ways. Not sure how this will translate to real life but overall very pleased.
Then found a Ping s58 7 iron +1/2 inch stiff shaft in the demo bag. And to my amazement same thing open or close stance move the ball around and it turned out 175 yard average with similar ball speed and 20* launch angle.
So maybe when i look at some irons maybe i could actually pony up and get some players clubs didn't think that would happen anytime soon. Well just thought i would post that up here and see what you guys think!
