.................Not scrap heap now mind.....I wasnt going to post this but im bored 
Ok i know that this issue has be worn out over lots of forums and its probably going to be talked about even when we are all shoving up daisy's....
Im reading over the past few weeks about lots of peoples swings going to crap mine included from changes to this and that and the disheartenment and frustration that it causes but i have a theory on equipment....
Would it be reasonable to say that for game improvement and enjoyment a player should go with big perimeter weighted clubs.....And in contrast my theory is that there are 2 types of club.....Game Improvement and Swing improvement....I dont buy into the different categories of Blades/players cavities/Game Improvement/ and Super Game Improvement.....
I think there are 2 types Game Improvement and Swing Improvement.....
The reason i say this is that yesterday i played with my younger brother...He plays off 19 and uses Ping G15's...
He doesnt practice and plays every week with us...
Then you have me....Practically obsessed with the game and striving to get low and get a good swing with 2 nights a week practice.....I use i10's and to be honest i prefer a smaller club but i wouldnt discount anything bigger than what i use either...
So we played 18 yesterday and i bounced between his G's and my i's....
Now i know there is no such thing as a perfect swing and there are flaws in everybodies.....I used 2 balls on evey hole one hit with the G's and one with the i's.... My assesment.....I had FUN hitting the G15's.....I have swing flaws but these things definately hid them...They are silly easy to get up in the air and ball movement with them is practically a yard or 2 each side of straight....When i tried to draw them they were goiung straight..
On the other hand my i10's were a little harder work and required alot more concentretion....Divots were noticably deeper and it felt like an effort to hit them although not really hard to hit as such...
So iv been wondering would Ping's type of GI clubs make the game more FUN for us and not have so many of us down in the dumps or getting frustrated with our swings because we cant hit the ball dead centre on every swing IF we were able to get over the astethics....For the record i placed one of my '10's alonside these yesterday and face height and length were nearlty the same...Ok obviously the topline and sole thickness differed but that was it...Feeling off the G15's were way softer than the i10's.
Are the type of irons that we play directly impacting our given mood in any particular round...
I will eventually play a full round with a loan of his G15's just for arguments sake if anything but the initial signs yesterday with these was very promising.
I know its the age old question and that everyone prefers their own thing but if you look past preferences for a minute....Would we be happier if, instead of having to worry about getting vibrations up through the hands from a thin or chunking a sod over a ball or slicing or hooking out of bounds from aiming somewhere we shouldnt be to allow for your swing flaws we could just aim at the target and let the clubs do their thing....
Everything we read about Game Improvement clubs seem to tell us that they are ideal for golfers across the board....Those learning the game to those that are improving the game to those of us that havent the time to practice our games......
And also better golfers are told that they will also benefit from them.
Would you be happier if you were helped rather than hindered?
