I've had a couple of games with them and I'm just starting to figure them out. Won't know properly for a while because it's been freezing when I've played and having not played much I wasn't swinging that well.

I'm not sure I'll be able to say how much difference is down to the custom fit because these clubs are so different to my previous ones. Technology has moved on in the last 12 years, so I'm basically hitting these clubs one club further than my previous set. These are also clubs designed for good players (quite a few of the Ping tour pro's use these irons, most notably Bubba Watson), whereas my previous set was just for okay players.

I already knew that the shaft in my old set (which was regular flex) wasn't stiff enough, so I got a stiff shaft put in. Chose quite a heavy shaft just because I like the feel of a heavy club.

I didn't need anything changed in terms of the length of the club or the lie angle.

The main thing I did was muck around with the lofts to suit my style of play and what I wanted in my bag. I like to carry a 2-iron, but Ping didn't make one for that set. So what I did was have them make all the clubs with 2 degrees less loft than normal. So my 3-iron is actually almost a 2-iron, my 4-iron is almost a 3-iron and so on.

The clubs just feel ridiculously solid when you hit them. Get a beautiful flat, penetrating ball-flight which is perfect for me since I usually play in the wind.

Just need to figure out the exact yardages I hit them once the weather warms up and figure out how receptive they are to me trying to hit the ball high or low or trying to draw or fade the ball.

Very interesting. Is there a downside to altering the loft across all your clubs?

Depends on your swing really.

If you struggle to get height on your shots then you aren't going to want to de-loft them.

And generally the less loft there is on a club the easier it is to slice the ball.

I haven't really de-lofted my clubs, though. I've tried to get as close to the lofts I had on my previous set as I could. It's just that while my previous set was 2-iron to 9-iron, my new set is 3-PW. Shouldn't actually be much practical difference, should just be a different number on the club.

Key thing is that if you start altering the lofts that you do it consistently through the set so that the spacing between each club remains consistent.

Okay, I'll bite.

You want to tell your story and ask us if she's interested in you. Go ahead.

Lol :D solid guess, but no not at all, not even close to about that, she's just gets in these moods were she gets extremely insecure, feels like talking to a child. Today is overdrive mode, second guessing her decision plus also because she's leaving peeps she known well for 3 years.
