Super GI Irons

[GB72]

GB, I have to be honest and say it isn't the CG16's but definitely a swing flaw and I don't see how changing to GI or SGI clubs will help. I don't think you need any help getting the ball airborne (well not until recently) and so it has to be something in the swing. I appreciate your position on practice time etc but a single lesson for £40 has to be a better move than £200 on clubs you don't actually need. If you had the lesson and then hit a bucket of balls one Saturday you've not given up anything time wise apart from swapping a round and more frustration for a few hours on the practice ground and possible salvation

Cannot hit the CG16s, can hit my old Cobras. Suggests something about the clubs is not agreeing with me. OK there are more than likely some swing faults there (I have an 18 handicap so cannot have the worlds best, most consistant swing) but it works some of the time. As I said, lessons come later on once I have settled into my new job and new club. Thing is that there are probably alot of steps backwards to take with my swing before it moves forward (have that on good authority) and I want to enjoy my golf this year and if I am going to have major swing surgery it is going to happen at the end of the season.

I know what I am thinking about is not the long term way forward. I know that lessons are what I will need (as I said in my original post) I am just not willing/able to put myself through that right now. I may only need something as simple as a confidence boost and as my old Cobras have shown some success I was looking at replacing them with something a bit shinier for a while (have AG vouchers from Tesco and some from GM when they arrive). My confidence in my Clevelands has, however, gone so I need to move on from there.

The ping g5's in the for sale section would be a good investment if the lie angle is right for you!

Id Hardly say Mickleson was using GI irons............

Well spotted. Phil's clubs are hardly SGI. Nor are Lee Westwood's - not compared to G and K series. I tried both K and I yesterday....one is SGI. Bubba uses S59s which are middling......Louis S57.

Fair dos
Hadnt realised Big Phil had swapped back from his clunky clubs
Thought Lee was still playing G10/GT15s
And those S59/57s look very unlike the blades i onw
But ok - you win

@OP Super GI irons are not X18/20 and the like, they are Ping K15 and TM Superlaunch, that are bigger and fatter and ugly and you are too good to need them.

Mixed set may be good though. K15 5-7 and G15 8-PW or something. I still think your hc says you don't need that though.

What do you really want from golf? Be good, have fun, a mix of both?

Mix of both really. Fun is the main part, no point in doing anything if it is not fun but I do want to improve. Pretty certain I do not have the commitment or time to go for single figures (let alone the ability). but if I could get another 3-4 shots off my handicap I would be relatively satisfied. I am happy to put some real effort in later in the year but do not want to waste a chunk of the season getting frustrated as I try amd make swing changes that I do not have the time to bed in before I hit the course. This really is a short term thing but I will keep hold of anything I get in case it all goes pear shaped in the future. As I carry hybrids and have wedges I am only looking for 5-PW and at the price I am looking to pay it is not easy to get single clubs.
