Every attempt to return to steel is short lived for me. Since my shoulder replacement, I think I am a graphite for life player.
Next project Ping Eye 2 refurbishing
Typhoon wondering if you ever tried your 7 iron experiment

The graphite shafts are so much more sr friendly , I'll have to stay with them mostly too, but when I start feeling frisky you never know what I might try . Even steel shafted eye 2s. Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. I got a set of WilsonDeepRedII distance irons from Hootinfrack on fgi that have the graphite fat shafts I really like. Easy to get distance and straight. Muted feel but fat shafts are low torque so dispersion is pretty good . Soles are not nearly as wide as my Raptures which I prefer if course is not squishy wet.
I probably would have better chance of improving if I'd just settle on one set and stay with it . Guess I just enjoy trying new clubs too much
Provisional
I too enjoy the dalliances. Changes hurt my scores tho as i don't adapt that quickly.

sdandrea1 The Eye 2 iron is a digger. Be careful out there.
Uh oh. Now I find out these are diggers. I take huge divots anywho. The Eye 2's might be wrist breakers for me. BTW the set of Eye 2's I recently snagged looked as good if not better than yours, so maybe I didn't get beaters after all.
If anyone hand sands graphites to .355 be sure to use some shafting beads. This will help take care of any irregularities if you over sand some.
I was poking around ebay and I saw a bunch of 7 and 8 shaft .355 taper graphite sets for under $100.
Typhoon The different look at address might have caused u to move your hand or ball position. Just a thought on why you're digging. Or maybe just a different feel with that set up?
I bet you'll work it out...nice combo.
I am a digger, not a sweeper. Been doing it for 55 years. My divots look like flying squirrels. It doesn't matter which iron I use I still take big divots.
I'm not a bad digger, but I am with the Eye 2 irons. Especially with the 8, 9, W. I usually catch the ball first, but a chunk of earth follows the ball!
Eye 2 sw and pw I'd take a decent size divot but other than that nothing noticeable.
Don't hurt yourselves!
