Need help with golf clubs?

hey everyone i am in the market for new clubs. well actually i have two sets and need to get rid of one. i bought a set of Ping Eye 2s in the spring and have played a few rounds with them. i am by no means a pro ( i shoot in the 90s). now i have another set (Ben Hogan Apex Edge pros) whihc i have tried out and feel quite good when struck nicely. My problem is that i seem to be lacking consistancy at the moment. i feel tho that if i play with the Ben Hogans i will progress further due to the fact that they are forged irons and less forgiving than the forged pings. i would rather improve my swing and game then just play and hit alright shots with more forgiving clubs. could someone help me with my decision? should i keep the Pings or the Ben hogans? thanks|||Sell them both and buy game improvement irons. Unless you shoot consistently in the 80s or lower you should not be within a par 5 of forged irons. Look at the TM burners and the ping G-series (10 or 15) both are available in models from last year that should be discounted at most golf retail stores.





Using forged irons without consistency will be just frustrating for you and you will not get good results. Also struggling with forged clubs will not improve your swing-lessons will. If you absolutly have to keep one of the sets that you have please keep the pings. They will be much more forgiving than the hogans. This is primarily because they are cast and cavity back irons.|||Go the pings they are the better club!|||pings, they're very forgiving. just practice with them more and it'll pay off.|||pings, that was a great club in its day and imo is the better club. as far as the "i should play with harder to hit clubs so i can learn to hit them better" argument goes it is nonsense. improving your ballstriking comes from improving your fundamentals and technique and plenty of practice. all that playing with clubs that are beyond your ability level will do is make your poor shots worse. take all the help you can get.|||keep both sets it'll be cheaper in the long run. Play your pings . Get a few lessons to get you swinger properly then as you progress you can try out your hogan's. After you've progressed you'll already have forged irons so you won't need to purchase them.|||Another factor to consider are the shafts you've got on these sets. Whether stiff, regular, or xstiff might be a good idea to stick with matching to whatever your driver and fairway woods are.





If I were in your position, I would play the Pings since they're easier to hit. Golf is a game of minimizing errors, the advantage of being able to "work" the ball easier with a blade club is marginal compared to the larger sweet spot the cast club provides to a 18+ handicapper.





I believe Ping's cast process prevents wear on lie and bounce angles that are inevitable in the softer forged clubs. Try practicing on the range with the Hogans and play on the course with the Pings (assuming shafts are relatively equal).





Keep in mind the swing is key, not the clubs. :)
