Now, now Snelly. You had a different opinion a while back upon receipt of your i25 irons

Specifically the last line.
As for me? I'm as neutral, average Joe as they get, as evidenced through various fittings.
Off the shelf for me.
In fairness he was just given a free set of fitted clubs in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
He was hardly going to say it was crap

Maybe that's down to the workman as opposed to the tools
I'm pretty sure that's the sort of attitude you recently displayed to people bemoaning unable to use 3 woods ?

The guy deserves some payback
He's quite possibly the rudest, most obnoxious, poster on here

Poor old Snelly, pichforks and ducking stools incoming... I think he'll be OK, I hope so, we need a bit of grit in the forum oyster now and again..
Just read the first and last pages of this thread. The first is measured and sensible and pretty much fits in with my own experience and observations. Maybe it should have been locked down there.
A couple of other thoughts...
1. Just watched a Crossfield vid where he changed the lie angle at impact of someones swing by a couple of degrees in five minutes. I suspect these and other swing parameters change a lot in any given day/week/month for most handicap golfers. If you just worked off the bog standard ping static charts you probably have a perfectly satisfactory working average without the need to micro-analyse a particular two hour session.
2. If measuring cost effectiveness for improving golf, I would suggest that second hand+lessons is far better than custom fitting+brand new clubs. Especially using the chart mentioned above, ebay, a sensible assessment of you own swingspeed and a browse around AG to see what suits your eye. A brand new set of Ping G irons = £480, G25 on ebay =£225. That would give £250 on lessons with a lovely set of irons. I know which golfer would get better fastest for his £500 notes.

Exactly right mate in my opinion but we all love a good custom fit set of new irons ha

It could be that you are just a golf god and could use a sledge hammer and croquet mallet (not fitted) and get around a course. You think of that
