Totally unedited WHAT’S IN THE BAG! I am going crazy!!

[@timquinlan8130]

Very interesting. I face a bit of a paradox myself. I really like to look down at a thin top and leading edge on irons but aren't consistent enough to use blades. But tinkering is sort of fun, right. Gets us through the winter!!!! Thanks as always.😀

[@muhlenbe]

Amazing to hear about the thin line between uncomfortable and comfortable, I can imagine that the process can be challenging. The last fitting session I started with only swinging a clubhead with different shafts to determine the most favourable shafts, after that clubhead fitting and hitting loads of balls on the range. I felt completely wabbit. Loved the video, keep on grinding ! 🍀💪🐕

[@lanmurgatroyd9503]

Another gem. I've been searching for some time now and I've come to realise that new isn't always better, especially in my uncomfortable area between driver and irons....a couple of older fairways and hybrids seem to have smoothed things over...hopefully😁

[@user-fc8zy5sx4i]

Hey Iona, I'm a big fan & follower of your career, loved your Ryder cup coverage and always look forward to your videos. Please bear with me and read till the end as my comment is more about your wrist injury than what's in your bag and it could be a game changer. I've been tempted quite a few times to relate my experience but now you have referenced how a shaft caused pain in your wrist, I think I can help. Background. I am 68, I have played in pro-ams and over 50's comps since 2005 as a scratch golfer both here and in Spain successfully. Unfortunately I developed type 2 diabetes in 2014 and ended up injecting insulin several times a day which made me put on 5 stone in weight, plus an old shoulder injury and a fall down concrete steps resulting in two broken knees ( Don't celebrate a win with cheap wine, lol ) took a toll on my game & then came covid. Covid actually saved my life !!. With nothing to do I researched diabetes and found the only way to reverse it was to go on the carnivore diet ( I only eat animal products ) and eliminate carbohydrates completely. My weight dropped from just over 20 stone to 14 over 18 months and my type 2 diabetes reversed stopping insulin injections which was huge , BUT THE BEST PART WHICH I DID NOT EXPECT ( This is my reason to comment ). All the pain & inflammation in both my shoulder & knees disappeared as soon as sugar (carbohydrates) was restricted.. Look up a Dr. Ken Berry on youtube, you will be amazed and should consider its benefits. Good luck with whats in the bag, I've recently replaced Cobra forged tech irons 2021, with my first set of tournament clubs from 2004 Callaway Big Bertha irons, don't go as far but are far more consistent. Best wishes for 2024.

[@grantoxner7050]

I know you're working with a fitter already, but I would LOVE to see you having a session with Ian Fraser at Club Champion Canada (formerly TXG). I'm sure it would be terrific content. I am a wee bit biased as he is my fitter as well.

[@19DMS51]

Another great video. Love how you section your bag into 3. Top, irons, and wedges. Thank you.

[@richardvalentine4133]

Fascinating stuff Iona. Love what’s in the bag reviews, good luck with your set up and looking forward to seeing the next instalment of your club choices.

[@golflre7179]

Glad to hear I am not the only one in a bit of a flux this offseason. I want to change irons this year, but I did last year too, and the expense is a concern. I made a massive swing change, went to a stack and tilt very successfully, but am older, and want to go to need a lighter shaft now as I want to generate more speed with less effort.

[@scharf2960]

Incredibly helpful to listen to someone with your professional experience work through the logic of picking new irons. Thanks for sharing! Need to get into my bag!

[@ColinMcrae-f1y]

Very interesting. The vast array of options available bamboozles me!

[@Fractalgeek]

Something else you may want to put into the pot - Head/swing weight. When I first injured my wrist, I switched to graphite, but retained steel head weight - I liked the extra help, particularly on the short irons. The shaft didn't feel quite right with graphite heads, adding a touch more weight - and changing the balance - just felt right. Even happier I did it as I taped up on the grips - helped balance a couple of extra layers, even with going MCC+4 Of course, you can try heavier with tape, but Mizuno, for instance, change head weights between steel and graphite, and also reduce if you go longer: 1/2" longer, they switch to B weight, 7G lighter - easy to order away from "Standard" weight. And I understand from forum posts, that head weights have generally dropped by about 6g over the last few years for a mid iron. So, if you are comparing older clubs with newer, see if they have retained the same swing weight..... And I'm thinking about it again now: In my swing room session yesterday, I played a few shots with a different club model for fun. Wasn't any better swing PATH, but it felt heaver. And I got another 5 yards from it. Same loft, AFAIK, possibly slightly shorter.

[@pete8890]

I am so pleased its not just me. When you know its not right, its not right. Confidence seems to come from having the right setup. Its not just tinkering, its improving your options for the next shot you fsce. Good luck with the process. We look forward to hearing how it goes.

[@charlesbartholomew2910]

Good luck finding the right shaft for you, Iona. It can be quite the journey, but with your positive attitude about it you will get there.

[@leethomson1900]

Interesting to hear about the thicker grips helping with the wrist pain. I moved to midsize grips a couple of years ago and the pain I used to suffer in my left thumb/wrist has disappeared. Hope you get some success soon regarding the shafts!!

[@jasonross3299]

Truth! Best of luck with this journey - you are not alone!

[@NealTimson]

Going through the same process myself, new T200/T150 combo irons with a new to me shaft ordered. New wedges waiting to go in the bag along with a new driver. Just gotta save up for a new hybrid. Hope you get yourself sorted soon

[@tylerpalmer8973]

Love these natural, uncut videos! So fun!

[@naitchb16]

Only disappointing thing about this video is that it’s just 5 minutes. I could listen to you talk about your bag for hours. Great stuff Iona 👏👏

[@goutfromfriedokra3936]

ur just Horney

[@davidparsons3163]

Another great insight thanks Iona. You seem to enjoy your wedges and hit them well, so I do wonder what shafts are in those? Have you considered HZDRUS shafts for your irons? Also, a tip for you…. Lift and place your bag using your left hand to help relieve pressure and weight from your right hand/wrist, keep us posted ⛳️😊

[@russellmiller9033]

Hey, Iona. Love content. I've returned to golf after long layoff. Years actually. Playing former clubs, which I love. But Mizuno blades, MP60'S. My plan is to work on game, very Rusty. Then if and when I break 80, reward myself with new clubs, being fitted and everything. That's my journey at moment. Love you sharing your club selection journey. Very genuine and rich content, thsnks.

[@ahastar1141]

I know how you feel. I have recently just bit the bullet and started taking my favorite shafts with me into whatever new heads a buy. I know they work, I know they are perfectly balanced, and I know they are right for me. It just takes one factor of doubt out of the equation. I had been hesitant to do it since I liked having my old set of clubs intact so I could go back to them, but ultimately I found that if I am committing to the new irons, I need to commit by moving my favorite shaft over.

[@66stangRh]

I'm working on this too. I went from 50g senior flex graphite shafts with big cavity back irons to the 2021 t200 and it had 95g steel amt reds and I didn't even realize but they were +1 above standard! Goodness! I pulled those shafts, and I put KBS TGI 60g regs on my T200s and I have made the graphite shafted club equal length to the published steel length by butt trimming .5 inch, thinking im short i need not play .5 above standard. No matter how big of a tip weight I put into the head/shaft, I cannot get passed a C6/C7 swing weight. Might have done myself a disservice there but im still playing these clubs with the 60g TGI shafts, and I'm just focusing on technique before I make more changes. I do feel like lighter is smart for me, in the end, but I have AMT reds on hand still and can always go back. Also been doing this myself in my guitar building shop, and it has been a fun journey to add clubmaking tools into my wood shop. 😊❤ Thank you for sharing your journey it is encouraging to know that even someone who plays so beautifully well as you, is looking to tune the set better.

[@mattfeltham8132]

Love this! Can't wait to see how the year plays out and whats in the bag at the end of it!

[@dannypehrson3516]

This is so great! Not that you’re going through this process. I can understand the frustration of trying to dial in your setup. I’m just glad to hear that a player of your caliber also struggles to find your perfect setup. I went for a fitting last month and was fitted into the new T100’s. I also loved the T150’s and my dispersion was a bit better with them but the fitter liked the spin numbers with the T100’s. Still trying to pick which irons to order. I hope that you are able to get the shaft worked out, even if it means putting your old shafts into the new heads. Love your content! Looking forward to what you do in 2024!

[@stevenwoods5660]

Thanks for the video and the honesty too! Hope you find the right setup soon. I’ve just come back from a hip replacement and wondered whether to get fitted for new clubs or wait a while ? Any ideas welcome!

[@danielcohen3159]

Thanks for the video, Iona! It's somewhat comforting to me to know that even pros have some issues when they shake up the bag. I also like that 80-gram range for iron shafts. I don't know if you've ruled out steel because of the wrist, but I love the Nippon 850GH and the new 850GH Neo. There's also the Zelos 8, which is spot on for weight, but much, MUCH more flexible - like, whip city. I like the Recoil 780 ES and have that in my 5-iron, my longest iron. I tried the Dart at 75 grams, but it feels weird - not a flex thing, it's just got zero feel for me. Ditto the Steefiber. I just didn't get along with it. But Nelly seems to make them work ok! Good luck and can't wait to see the bag when complete. From what I've seen, you could get around in par with a broom and rake so I look forward to seeing you play more!

[@wendybrookes1878]

So interesting…looking for new irons next year. Have the TR driver and 3 wood. Love them. Looking forward to following your journey. Thanks

[@ParawayGolf]

I got the T100s irons this year and have loved them! Always enjoy your insight with all the fine details and choices that go into your bag.

[@golfmonthlysales9641]

Interesting, sorting out my bag for the upcoming season. Hopefully I have made the correct choices and you find the correct shaft for your irons. Looking forward to the next video 😊

[@ozwold74]

Love these informal chat vids. Keep up the great work and best of luck getting your bag sorted. I returned to golf 18 months ago after 20+ years off, so have been going through a lot of bag changes and have made some mistakes as I get back up to speed with club and shaft technology, and as my swing and game play improve. So much choice and so much information to absorb. The engineer nerd and competitive sportsman in me love it all! Ha ha.

[@ntsms69]

Iona, great update and in 'one take'! Good description of club/shaft options. Hopefully someone on here will advise on good options.

[@ontheroadwithiona]

Yeah genuinely is one take, saves the editors a lot of work 😅 thanks for the comment and being here :) xx

[@thebeej1231]

Hey Iona - I might have a shaft recommendation for you to try! Fujikura came out I think maybe two years ago with a graphite ‘axiom’ iron shaft - they come in a stiff at 75g which could be much closer in weight if that flex is roughly what you’d play. Also has Velocore tech in it from the drivers that are obviously flying off the shelves on tour. I think you might be based near to me and I know precision golf stock them in west byfleet - I’ve had lots fit by them and can vouch for the quality of fitting (TrackMan) and builds, I’m sure Simon would be happy to try and help you dial them in as an option! All the best!

[@tigertim9232]

[@beaunicholls8856]

Very interesting listening to you talk about shaft weights and your wrist pain. My daughter is a good young golfer 5’9 but only 105 pounds she’s been playing with standard length clubs but I have no idea what the shaft weights are having to look into this further.

[@richardlashbrook]

Hi Iona, Suggest you swap the shafts over from your T200s and move on. Langer has been using discontinued Hogan shafts forever. He just puts feelers out and picks up replacements where he can. That way, you are sorted (for now) until something better comes along - or doesn't.

[@richardlashbrook]

Shorter also equals stiffer and lighter - hence your misses to the right. Missing the sweet spot on T100s will also give more vibration and potentially hurt your wrist. Have you considered working with the T200s and getting the soles ground to your preferred turf interaction?

[@iordish]

Interesting and insightful as ever. Keep keeping it real !!! ❤

[@jcStrickson24]

good video Iona, love a watch in the bag with clubs,balls,accessories etc as always feel like i’m carrying to much stuff or not enough and always good to see what others have. also interesting as ive been switching between driver and iron’s with old set and current during this winter period, i no both sets work and not ready to get new so just messing around to get decent yardage and numbers during this winter season

[@johntreiber6416]

Love learning what players carry! Thanks Iona!

[@fevre2920]

I went through this exact process last year so I can hard relate to your dilemma! Ironically also switching to the T100 irons (although it was the T100s). I spent the first part of the season trying different irons and shafts and once I'd sorted that I ended up with a huge gapping problem with my wedges. I've only recently become 'comfortable' with my bag, so I'm intrigued to see how it will affect my performance in 2024. Good luck with your irons journey this winter! You're process seems right so I'm sure it will produce the results you want. Loving the content. P.s. switch your 60 degree wedge for a 58 degree (your wedge gapping is giving me PTSD🤣)

[@garyknight8432]

Iona in 2024, what great things are we gonna see from you Lassie. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@crishi7459]

Recently found my grail. Epic Flash single diamond TC serial. Hit it in my sim for a week & had a little trouble getting the toe around. *Added a heavier sliding weight. Spin went up 300 rpm. *Added a heavier front weight to compensate. Swing weight obviously went up. Added a heavier grip. (grip weight added was identical to head weight added) PERFECTION!! But it's still waaaay too loud so I know my buddies are gonna flame me when they hear it. 😂 Loved this video, quaint setting & right in my wheel house for content. ❤

[@dereckguilfoyle1219]

Iona I have the NS PR 950 GH DST light weight steel regular shafts from Japan in my irons, they were recommended to me by my pga professional mate. Judging by distance I think our swing speed is similar and I would definitely recommend trying them. They are lighter than a normal steel shaft but remain incredibly stable but forgiving on my bad elbows. Could be just what the doctor ordered

[@rayking2254]

Cheers Iona nice little vid looking forward to seeing how things turn out 🏌️‍♀️⛳️

[@gowzer4704]

I know the feeling. Really fallen out with my clubs recently. My issue is, it’s me and not my clubs 😳. Another lesson is needed!

[@garyhague5882]

Hi iona, it's good to hear you are finding everything you don't want!! Hopefully it won't take too long to get what you need. I had a wedge issue a few years back. I had my set PW (45*), then vokeys at 48*, 52*, 56* and a 60*. During a gapping session I found I needed more in the top of my bag so went to 50*,54* and 58* much better but I still need to strike them better to get consistent distances. Good luck in finding the 80 gram shafts you need. I'd steal the ones from the other set.

[@johngriffiths6742]

Hi Gary, as a purely weekend golfer (in fact, normally 1 round every couple of weeks) I have just the SW & PW. Would having multiple wedges improve my short game & worth investing in. Obviously I know its hard to comment without seeing me play, but did you find it helped your short game considerably?

[@garyhague5882]

@@johngriffiths6742 hi John, if you look at your iron lofts you should find that there is 4-5 degrees between each ( about 15 yds). But between your PW and SW there will be 8-10 degrees(30 yds). I hit on average PW 115yds and SW 85yds so I have a GW for about 100 yds and a lob wedge for 60-70 yds. I also use the lob wedge around the greens and in bunkers sometimes. It all depends on how good you are at manipulating your PW and SW to cover all the distances from 50 yds up to PW distance.

[@johngriffiths6742]

@garyhague5882 thanks for responding Gary, really appreciate it. May have to give them a try and see how goes. Thanks a lot.

[@David-rr8np]

Iona - on the same journey, but near the end of it. The only ones I’m still working on are my 5 and 4 irons vs hybrids options. I go back and forth. I can’t tell you how many shafts, weights, grips, etc. I’ve experimented with. Even went to club fitters but something about the cameras, booth, observers that throw off my swing. I keep getting told to use regular flex shafts by the numbers, but I landed on stiff NS Pro shafts for my 9-6 irons and stiff Hzrdus Gen4 for driver and woods. It works… dependable, consistent and far when playing a round. Good luck!

[@leeclements4645]

Thanks for the update and you got me tinkering with changing my irons as lost distance so may have to give the blades up but don’t want to loose the feel … great work your smashing it

[@raywhitty480]

Midsize grips/thicker grips on my irons ....love them...😁👍 Plus i just went back and bought a PingG400 Max driver with Tour 65 S shaft...3yrs after a "golf club fitter" suggested i change and go to a 44in shaft with another brand. That turned out to be a disaster and led me down a rabbit hole that i just have now got back out of.... If i were you id put the old iron shafts in the new heads......😁

Hey Iona! Since the end of November I put my clubs away and reflected on the year just gone. Happy to say my year was pretty special and didn’t see the need for any changes but then the new T150 iron got put into my hand and wow! The top end of the bag never change but have now gone into the new season with new wedges and as well as the new irons. I can only see this as a positive. My game is heading into the right direction so fingers crossed I get my handicap down from 11 to 7. 2024 goals 💪💪💪💪

[@dhall058]

One of the things I most enjoy about golf is tweaking my lineup of clubs. And when I'm planning a "what the heck" fun round, sometimes I'll carry a combination of hickory shaft vintage sticks, a couple of 1980s Hogan blades, and toss a few modern clubs for tee shots and Par 5s.This keeps my mind sharp(ish), and makes me adapt different tactics/strategy on otherwise familiar holes.

[@denisegoodacre5246]

[@SearchforScratch]

Hi Iona and keep at it - you’re gonna get it perfectly set up you’ll see 👍 one thought would be to try the plus 4 grips to help your wrist injury as they widen the grip on the lower hand and equalise grip pressure- it’s individual for sure (and may not work for you) but thought worth mentioning.

[@MRbjr8]

great insider look & info Iona, Thanks!

[@Jamesah1975]

Oh Iona, I feel your pain. I’m currently deciding on removing the 3 wood, keeping the five wood but setting it to -1. Then so I keep my 2 hybrid (yes cobra did one ten years ago, still have it) and keep my ever present 4 hybrid. 5-9 I’m happy with my pings, then I’m messing with my wedges set up. Argghhhh 😂

[@gerardtobin8886]

It’ll be worth the effort to get the right set up , confidence and comfort with your clubs does lead to bettering your game . Look forward to the progress. 👍

[@stephenwray3776]

Wow the detail 😮. I play with a made to measure Ping G400s irons and Calloway Rogue Woods. I didn't have my best season last year. I've just played with a friend in Tenerife with a rented half set of Taylor Made irons and woods. I had a pretty good round with 7 pars and a 2ft birdie on a par 3, which was nearly an ace 😳. Amazing, isn't it. Makes me wonder if I should change 💁💁💁💁

[@johnrowell3583]

I replaced my 52 degree wedge with a 62 degree to adapt to the needs of my course, leaving a gap between the 56 and PW. I grip down the PW for the gap. So far it's OK but a work in progress. I also intend to replace my 4 iron with a, wait for it, 9 FW! The reason is that my course has a couple of par 4s with the green very elevated so with a long iron I can't flight it the way I need. Still a work in progress also because I can't find a 9 FW. I have a 7 FW which I also love, but believe it or not, also a 11 FW! The latter is lovely to hit but not quite long enough to do the work of a 9 FW.

[@colinwallace2085]

Hi Iona I to have a problem, apart from being rubbish😂. My bag consisted of driver, 3wood,5wood, 7wood, 4hybrid, 5hybrid, 7 to pitching wedge, 52 and 58 wedges. After looking at adding a 5 an 6 iron I have lost the 3,5,7 woods and the 4 hybrid but added a 4 wood 16.5° and a new 4 hybrid 23°. The reason was better ball flight and landing angle than a 5 or 6 iron. Resukts to come later.❤ your work

[@edwinlambley2801]

Hope you hove got your iron shaft issue resolved ready for the new season. Thought you played well with Jimmy Bullard and that bag you had looked class.

[@Inked_Kev]

I know the feeling Iona, currently my wedges are absolutely dreadful. I switched wedges and they just don’t work. Will be the first thing I’ll update in my current setup. Driver also has been rough.

[@kevinmcarthur1690]

Feel your frustration, trying to change so many things right now .I am trying to replace my 4 iron with possibly a combo of a hybrid and a 5 wood to breach that gap between the 4 iorn and 3 wood, that I have . I have been trying the 430 max 5 wood but still trying to find a shaft that doesn't send the ball to the moon, PING don't helps fitters ! Wedges : I have yururi wedges, love them great on the links and one of them has a prototype recoil 125g shaft which is really really good so I understand your frustration around the recoil shaft, what about their latest Recoil Dart ? I picked up an SM9 54/10s oil finish wedge which is really nice and looking to find a 58 & a 48 to accompany it. Decisions decisions and finding the time to demo and test as well

[@DrBeardface23]

Great video Iona! I WISH I had the money to play around with my set up/clubs. I got fitted for a set of irons late 2022 after a bonus from work, got the Stealth ones. Then got fitted for a driver early last year, only just finished paying it off. My clubs go Driver, 5 wood, 5 iron. And then at the other end, 43° PW, 52° GW. So I've two gaps and no money to fill them haha. Love the content, keep it up :D. It would be class to see you play some courses before tournaments if you were able to film, that way when we see it on TV and hear you on commentary it will add up nicely!

[@kennymacm3031]

Like how you mentioned using a half set in winter. I have seven clubs in the bag just now Mini D, 7wd, 5,7,9 54deg, Putter I will add 6,8,PW and 60deg and possibly my 3 wood if I swap out mini D for Driver but unlikely. Ten clubs eleven max. Anything else is just ballast

[@Tubs0147]

I feel your pain Iona. Going through a very similar process. I was gaming Ap3's which I adore but decided to go for an upgrade and go the T100s. This is giving me more spin for stopping on links greens but I have sacrificed distance and forgiveness. I actually have the Ap3's back in the bag and my beautiful T100s are sitting in the spare room. Reason being it's been a mighty windy winter in Ireland and the lower spinning Ap3's just seem to work better in those conditions. Am I mad? 😂

[@stuartmitchell713]

[@Chri5d72]

I've done the same as you in my driver not being the tallest person I've had the shaft reduced by 1/4". It helps me get back to square at impact. Very happy with my irons. Wedges are my ugly zone SM8's I want to like them but they're very marmite

[@matts5948]

I'm definitely in the Ugly Zone, I had to sell my Callaway Irons for £600 to get my heating repaired and replace them with a set of £139 Ram irons, at least I didn't have to sacrifice my Titleist Tsi Driver and my Mizuno STZ 5 Wood. I take the positives that I can at least still go and play and who knows maybe I'll love the Ram Irons, haven't had a chance to try them out yet.

[@seancook2264]

Love a what’s in the bag! Would you not look to give the Axiom 75g shaft a whirl? Played Modus 105 for a number of years and have an Axiom 105 as starting to get some issues with the joints so looking. for something that can help take a little sting out of impact.

Great video again, Iona. I know what you are going, though! Being a lefthanded player you have about 50% of the clubs to select from. You see a club that you like and it right hand as that all the proshops stock and when you ask if it's a available in lefthand you get sorry only righthand!

[@mjbone23]

Ping has some fitting tools for their accounts. One of which is a “legacy shaft finder.” So something that is out of date, what is the closest match. That UST 80 that you’ve been using, the closest graphite option with similar weight is the KBS TGI Tour 80 (according to pings research). Good luck!

[@hansvanpelt245]

Hi Iona, I just watched this again. A question with regard to irons, you mentioned you had a u500 4 iron with a steel shaft, different to all your iron options 😂Utility irons are driving me crazy. Can you let me know why your 4 iron is steel and would you recommend a lighter graphite in a utility iron or would you match the utility with the same steel NS Pro 95g shafts I have in my iron set 5-pw? I’m tall at 6 ft 4” and 7 irons carries around 150 yards. Thanks in advance

Irona seriously, you need to try the jumbomax jmx ultralite grips asap, do it in a fitting as it might change the shaft that suits you too. Your wrists will thank you and you might thank the process if they fit you with a shaft that hasn't been discontinued lol. Speak to Bryson 👌🏻

Iona, what you’re saying makes absolute sense. Quick question, on average how much do you think you’d spend ‘tinkering’ with your bag before perfecting it and when you do, how long before new technology makes you change?

[@ontheroadwithiona]

Great questions, I’m going to do another video about this :)

[@russellkempe3231]

You might want to try the Fujikura Ventus Red Graphite Shafts. Taylormade puts these in their Stealth irons and have for a couple of years now. I play the Ventus Blue in my Stealth Driver and fairways and they are choice. Titleist T100 is great but I would do KBS Tour 'S'.

[@steinarhovi3321]

Very nice little video, I'm going through this thought process myself atm. I bought myself the T100s a couple of years ago, as a present for working hard, but I'm wondering if they're too good for me... They're wonderful on the range and while having lessons but I'm having a hard time converting this behaviour to the course. And really wouldn't know where to start if I'm going to change from the steel shafts to anything else... Hmm, let's see, if I try a change it can only go to hell. So what, it's only a game, right? 😂

My gap is from my g10 5 wood to my g430 6 iron. I’ve tried hybrids but can’t settle with them. I got a 2004 Big Bertha 7 wood to try it out and it seems to be the right fit for my spacing. I’m very tempted to upgrade to either a Stealth 2 or g430 7 wood with a regular shaft . Any advice from the community out there?

[@jamesp098]

I've just switched from those exact t200's to a combo of t150s and t200s. Short irons seem to be going a bit left, but got a lesson soon so hopefully ill figure out what I'm doing wrong there.

[@simoneadriansharahtan5920]

Fujikura axiom 75 will be a perfect fit. Amazing and stable. You will love them. Please try

I am desperately bad at tinkering with my club set up and the magpie in me is drawn to every new shiny product that comes out. Although my bag looks amazing and I could give any professional golfer a run for their money standing on the first tee, I’m a inconsistent 22 handicapper who with the best club fitting session in the world wouldn’t see much change in their game. I’ve finally decided to that maybe just maybe a few lessons might be the way to go! I’m only one lesson in but I can already see an improvement and hopefully after a few months I will start to see more consistency in my game and could start to seriously look at building a bag around what then be ‘just the one swing’.

[@kirknewton100]

I have a similar issue. I feel I require a different set up on my driver. A heavier weight in my putter and missing a club between my 5 iron and 5 wood. Off to my PGA Pro for advice.

[@micksumo]

Love how you have tried to find am updated version of the 80... though if it was me I'd try and pull a set or surely recoil have some in stock?! I still use kbs tour and it works so I'm not fussed about looking for something else.

[@dimarkines]

I’m on the same journey! Same height as you, moving to T100s from T200. Went 2* flat, and searching for the right graphite shaft - Mitsubishi MMT, Fujikura Axiom, etc.

[@davidc4737]

Thanks for sharing interesting video !👌🤩

[@jonlightfoot4859]

I enjoy these review clips just as much as you Chasing the Red… it would be madness to put your wrist in danger so keep going… It is interesting to hear your thought process. Oh and enjoy Panama!!

[@Pud56]

Iona, traditional length of men’s clubs stems back to when the average height for a man was 5ft 8-9ins, so length of your standard shafts should be fine

[@paulrobertson9610]

Great wee video. Keep up the good work Iona 🤗🤗

[@MarkArnold92660]

Love WITB videos especially with the lovely Iona.
