Diggers please help!!

[magee99]

I have been going through irons left right at center looking for a blade/better player cavity back looking for a set where I can....."Dig to China". I mean take a divot so deep it makes Jesper look like he was scrapping the grass.

 

I have tried X-Tours, MP32s, Rac MBs, J33s, and now finally 735cms.

 

Man, I only wish I had by 762Bs or 990s back.

 

 

Any ideas?

I'm a digger. I play the Cobra SS Forged with the Skid Sole. They work so well for me a I picked up a set of Callaway Forged Antique Tour Issue wedges with a similar sole grind.

You ought to have a look at the TourStage Z-101's, they can peel a pelt as big as an alley cat. (cool)

Sorry let me clarify...

You want to take bigger and deeper divots?

or you take big divots but don't want to get stuck in the ground?

 

From my experience most Japanese-Asian better player/blade irons tend to dig. I guess it has to do with our course conditions over here. A bit harder than the usual lush/soft turf on CONUS.

 

I take big divots and don't want to get my shots stuck in the ground, that is why I recommended the Cobras.

 

If you want to take deeper divots. I have Z101s and had the Xblades for well over a year as my gamer. Those sets tend to dig. The X blades even moreso.

I am also a digger, and have had horrible luck with the so-called game improvement irons, and even some player's irons due to their increased bounce and blunted leading edge. I always thought my iron game was to blame, when in fact it was the firm turf conditions and my clubs' inability to cut through it. I was screwing around with a set of titleist 680 blades, thinking they were probably way too much iron for me, and realized that I was absolutely puring these clubs in comparison to any other iron I had ever tried. The sharper leading edge allowed me to take an appropriate divot in the hardpan that is a central florida fairway in the summer. Since then, I have been looking for irons with the perfect digger's sole grind, and have been very plleased with the following: titleist 680 and 690mb, cleveland CG2, Nike Pro Combo Tour (not the original PCs - far more bounce, IMO), Bridgestone J33 combo (more bounce than others but sole grind is VERY playable even for a digger), and Tourstage Z101 (probably the sharpest CB I have hit).

I have hit some SS forged demos and they were good, I liked the feel of them, but I couldn't flight them as well as I would have liked.

 

 

 

Wouldn't it be nice to be on tour....maybe the Titleist custome department would pay some attention to me. it seems like they don't care if your name is not Els or Love.

 

I am going to take one of the s59s from last years ping fitting cart and work on a grind that will allow me to dig.
