Switching from T100 to KM-700

[vanderputts]

Switched from the T200 to T100 earlier this season and have been dying to get my hands on a set of these.

 

5-PW

Oban 115s

 

Hit the range for the first time with them yesterday. Both Dispersion and distance were slightly better than my T100s. 
 

Have a golf trip lined up with some friends here in WA heading to Gold Mountain, Trophy Lakes, & McCormick Woods.

recently made the switch from my CB-302's to the KM-700's/ OB CT 115s in the CB's and Axiom 105x in the Km-700. they should be arriving this week, and I could not be more pumped!

I have the same head and shaft combo, they sure do feel sweet. Enjoy those beauties and I hope they bring you many a birdie!

Just got back from 5 rounds in 4 days and threw the KM-700s in the bag for the first time. 

 

Gold Mountain - Cascade

McCormick Woods

Gold Mountain - Olympic (2x)

Trophy Lake

 

Played really well and the irons felt great. Compared to the T100s, I had a few observations.

 

1. Length is basically the same. I didn’t see any difference in distance even on mishits. I’ve played blades before and surprisingly never had any of the long rockets or short hits - everything was right where it should be over each round. I would actually say my mishits were more forgiving than the T100. In the colder, damper Puget Sound mornings I did need to club up a few times.

 

2. Dispersion. I hit some of my most memorable iron shots on this trip, and actually had a few per round. The wind picked up each day so the more direct ball flight helped quite a bit - especially when clubbing up with a 3/4 swing.

 

3. Feel. It really didn’t take long to get used to these and feel comfortable then confident over all types of shots. I tend to play my low or high fade throughout the course and could easily draw one whenever needed. When you pure one, it definitely gives that butter feel as though you didn’t hit anything even with a decent divot. They cut through the thick stuff and helped on a number of par saving shots from less than pleasant areas I found myself in.

 

I’m absolutely sticking with them. My GIR went up, scores went down, and damn they’re pretty amazing to play with.

T100/620mb here and the KM’s are on my list.  Looking down on the KM’s how do they compare to T100 from the top?  Notice any differences in spin and/or peak height between the two?

[vanderputts]

I’ll post more comparison data and photos soon.

I’ll take photos to compare between the two.

Both sets are standard length, standard lie in my case. The #s are pretty close:

 

T100 with AMT White S300

7 Iron Loft - 34*

Carry- 177

Launch- 18*

Spin- 7250-7500

Apex- 95-100’

Landing-42-46*

 

KM-700 with Oban 115S

7 Iron Loft - 33*

Carry- 180

Launch- 16*

Spin- 7350-7500

Apex- 95-100’

Landing- 45-49*

Realized I had these numbers jumbled up a bit

My KM700’s arrived and wow… I have not played with them yet, though given how DROP DEAD GORGEOUS they are, I might just order a set of ZX7’s and put these guys in a glass case on my mantle…

[vanderputts]

Those are beautiful!
