Golf club difference...

[Tiger]

Saw the Crossover today and had a hit - have to say they are one ugly club and awful to hit

If that's the sort of club you are looking at my own preference would be to look towards the Mizuno MpH clubs or Titliest TMB clubs

And I wouldn't worry about mix and matching - I have the Mizuno yet have TM woods.

Interesting you are not the first person who has been disappointed in the Crossover. I might look at the Mizuno in a 4 iron but need to check lofts as my 5 has been strengthened to 24 degrees to give me even gapping so was thinking hybrids at 21/22 and 18 with a weak 3 wood at 16 and driver would be a good way to go. That's one of the reasons I'm favouring adjustable models so as my ball striking improves I can strengthen the lofts to eke out a bit more controllable distance...

Most clubs have a decent enough stock shaft and there's very little difference in off the shelf models. It really comes down to looks, and feel which are totally subjective unless you want to go down the C/F and look at spin rates etc and find the right shaft option for your swing

The pings are pretty steep in price compared to the others as well - maybe a 3 MP H or 3 TMB ?

Tried the Crossover at the weekend. Horrible. Looks ugly behind the ball and produced a dead feeling off the face. Not for me and while I think there will be more of these types of clubs to come from others, it's not a club I'd rush to buy

Very true. Currently got the F6 in the box seat though. Keen to test that as I'm just not sure I've got the skill for the driving iron options

That's what is good about the TMB and MPH mate - they don't really play like driving irons - seem to have the forgiveness of a hybrid but the look and feel of a long iron. Highly recommend trying the TMB

But the F6 is a lovely looking club

Out of interest what do you think it'll offer your game

When I changed my irons I went 5-PW and had the 5 iron strengthened by one degree to 24 degrees. This created an extra space at the top end of my bag. I'm thinking of changing out my current hybrid and putting in an 18 & 21 degree.

I'm looking for something I can use on tight holes where finding fairway is a must and for shots from poor lies or second shots on par 5s. From what I've heard and read the F6 just wants to go straight which is exactly what I'm after. I have struggled with hooking hybrids in the past but by all accounts this club has addressed that.

I'm currently reworking the bag. Hitting my new irons and wedges really well. So would like to change hybrids before the season starts if I can and then look at big and little dog toward the end of the season.

If I can hit the 18 degree well I could play my course comfortably but I'll need to resolve my driving and fairway woes when I move to Ipswich.

I like the F6 option as they are adjustable so could strengthen loft if/when my ball striking improves. Sorry for the rambling reply Homer
