Hey Guys!
Hope the summer is going great and everyone is shooting low scores and having fun. Three years ago I was fit for T200 5/6 and T150 7-48* and always went with the 54* S and 60* M.... it works for me and my fitter is amazing! I have noticed this season my T200 5-6 strike beautiful and the contact feels stellar.
Last year I amassed 167 rounds (combined 9's and 18's) I work at a GC and am a turf student. Was able to get handicap to a 7.1 (lowest ever) fast forward to this season and work has increased and this semester has been involving and as result not as much time to golf. Handicap took a hit and started to trend upwards which is fine as I didn't have the time to invest into it like last year. Still hit the range 4 times a week and practice short game 3-4 hours a week. Still practice as much as I can but haven't "gotten hot" this summer and hoping for that moment to come which it will.
Because I have had inconsistent impact this season I decided I needed help and possibly to make a equipment change. I went to the T250 5-PW with my shafts I was fit for (feel amazing) and instead of the "kit" 48* I went with the SM11 48* F, 54* D & 60* M.
What a difference with the SM11 48* F compared to the kit 48* . Played yesterday and had accurate carries and drop and stop performance with my 2026 AVX. 2 x birdies. I find this ball helps me get more distance and it is phenomenal.
Before I went to the GC with the irons I went to a trackman to get carry distances and totals. Boy these irons are HOT but knowing carry numbers helped me last season. I have a slower swing speed as I have arthritis and joint issues however love to still go as hard as I can. My issue with the T150's (and they are great) I had toe misses and thin shots and they aren't the most forgiving. I find with the T250's even on a toe hit I can get a better miss so not upset about new equipment!
Overall the irons and wedges are amazing and I will keep practicing to try and keep my index in check! Super happy about these irons!
First image is my carry numbers, second image is totals and third image are the irons unpacked at home (staring at them in beauty) LOL.
Fairways and greens folks!
