I need some info

[brushbob]

Hello and happy new year to all,

I am sitting here at this confounded computin mochine! and looking out at 15 inches of snow. So I figured that since I probably won't play golf any time soon, that I should consider making myself a new set of irons. I am thinking about two different head styles, both sold by Golfsmith. First is the Snake eyes Ti-Steel cavity back heads the other is the Snake eyes 600cc forged heads. My question is to anyone who has experience with either type and what they feel the pros and cons are. Thank you in advance for any info you can supply. Well I better get out and start shoveling the driveway before the wife starts to get to nervous. You know the old saying if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

Here's to long and straight shots

Re: I need some info

Well, yes - I have assembled both those of those among some other Snake Eyes products. I love Snake Eye's products, although I don't use them my self, and I am certain you will enjoy them very much.

In deciding between the 2 models - look at your current and desired ball striking ability. If you strike the ball well, you have a consistent impact zone on the club face near the sweet spot and the ball flight is consistent then maybe the forged irons are the better suited to you. Being forged, they will feel good off the strike, you will be able to work the ball easily because of the small sweet spot and less offset, etc. - more like a blade / semi-blade type of club. You will also get a lower ball flight.

If, however, you are a high-mid handicapper who needs some assistance in getting good consistent strikes, then the Ti-Steel are the better bet. With the larger and deeper cavaity, larger head size, more offset, more rounded bounce sole they will help you.

Cosmetically the 2 are very different. The forged irons are smaller, more pro-set looking and very sharp to the eye. The Ti-steels are more rounded, still very attractive but definately only found in a game-improvement bag.

Also look at the wedges. If you are a wedge player and short game 'worker' - the forged wedges are better suited. They have less bounce, can be customised, will give a far better response for feel and can manufacture shots far easier than the Ti-steels. But remember, with Snake Eyes you can mix-and-match however you like!

Okay - to sum up. If you are looking for a game-improvement iron I'd say go for the Ti-Steels. If you want a set to work the ball, get a good short-game feel and manufacture shots, if you want a pro-set of irons the forged irons are your best bet.

Any more questions - let me know.
