SGI irons really are like cheating

DonM

Yesterday I had a terrible ball striking day, just terrible. I was missing the sweet spot on irons by an inch to the toe side. The Vertex irons basically still got onto the greens. I've never really played SGI irons before, not for more than a tryout round anyway. This is crazy. I mean, it does feel like cheating.

These XXIO Eleven irons fall into that category. Sloppy misfits go right where you're aiming......they just fly different. 😂

I always say people should play the most forgiving clubs they can stand looking at.

I never did any better with the huge SGI clubs. I guess that figures since the 460cc driver didn't help me either lol.

I took the XXIO 7 wood out today for 6 holes. No driver. It goes about 15 to 20 yards less than my driver. Stays in the air forever and rollout is awesome. Went back to the pro shop and grabbed the 5w and 6i. I now have the XXIO Eleven 5w, 7w, 5h, 6 - W, Eye 2 W, SW in the bag for tomorrow's round. The 3w and driver are already checked out. I gotta do some checking on these. Website says they are counter weighted for a higher balance point. All I know is it's been a while since I discovered a brand that didn't make me say "meh".......

sdandrea1 Not priced for a one night stand though!

I have told about my buddy; his XXIO driver has been a game changer.

Don't underestimate Steve. He could start out trading/bartering with a paper clip and end up with a
full bag of XXIO. 🤣

I'm the McGyver of hoing. I have pretty much cleaned out all I can sell (my Eye 2 irons will go to the grave with me). The problem with plunging into XXIO is it would have to come with a commitment to keep them......I don't know how.......

When I used to go to my wife's convention I would rent clubs. They were always SGI/GI and I played some of my best rounds with them!

These 20 handicappers who want to use blades to teach themselves to hit the sweet spot make me laugh. You pay to play and enjoy yourself. Just give me the $50'and I'll come to your house and stab you in the forehead with an ice pick .

Just keep 'testing' them...

I plan to keep them until they ask for them back! I may even ask the pro if I can get a $12 deal on the demo clubs. After all, they're used, right? 😈

Typhoon

Yeah, if the C’rona keeps going they might close and you end up with free clubs.

$12 per club per day? Lol

Steve to pro shop, "Oh yeah, I think I still have those, but they are in my bag back here in Virginia." I am old and I forgot. 😛

I believe most SGI irons are too big and cause one to get sloppy, but they are more forgiving than peanut irons, fo sho. I like smaller, less offset heads that offer some degree of forgiveness myself. Kinda like my m5 irons do right now.

The biggest issue with GI/SGI irons and club heads is the very low CG and mass low on the head which raises ball trajectory much too high for some. I would be one of those that likes the play ability but not the trajectory. Just a thought.
