Typhoon I don’t know what people are thinking when they buy a p790 driving iron (2 iron). First off, you need clubhead speed to hit one. And anyone I see with that speed can’t hit anything straight.

Bullshit. I could putt with it.

    For those who are playing golf in conditions where hitting the ball high is most efficient/effective, I agree - there's nothing that a driving iron allows you to do that can't be done better or more easily with a hybrid or fairway wood. For the conditions that I play in fairly regularly (links turf with a decent bit of breeze), though, a driving iron can be more effective, even for those less endowed with clubhead speed - the lower and stronger ballflight makes the results a bit more predictable.

      I hit the ball to the moon. I’m going with a 19* KE4 FDI and am going to tip the heck out of a regular shaft instead of going standard stiff tip trimming to get as low flying a club as possible.

      I've been thinking about trying those Sub70 799 "irons," but they're pretty fugly and a little too expensive. Debating whether to order an Acer XDS Hybrid Iron head or two to try. I have a few sets of iron shafts of varying brands and flexes.

        Intending to build Bang SF 13 through 21 woods. The main pondering is...when will I get the time?

        There's a set for sale here in the buzz......

            My G400 Max is about to have a little brother. A G400 SFT is on the way to me.
            It will be fun swapping out shafts between the two. I will have 5 shafts to try out. All of them have adapters installed. I have a House of Forged Code 6 in the gamer Max currently.

              Of course it can. Equipment isn' making a 15 hdcp scratch but it can save a few strokes. I always played open faced and fade biased driver heads when I was younger even up to a few years ago. Now I'm playing a G400 SFT. If I still had to play the open faces I'd probably be 10 strokes higher, at least 5.

                  Absolutely 👍😎😂

                      @colej has those and liked them. My old timer buddy has a short set of these (he goes every other iron and has 7-9-G). I hit the 7i and was quite pleased with the feel. Easy to hit. Note they will mark up very easy if not protected in the bag/transport/etc.
