Joey's Golf Bag

In my neverending quest to make and use the best possible clubs, I created two new iron prototypes for testing against my current Toski T58 irons. I built two new 6-irons, using the Toski Target T56 iron head, and two different shafts, the True Temper Dynalite Gold SL steel shaft and the UST PRoforce Rv2 75 graphite shaft. I also made each club 1/2" longer than standard and bent them upright 2°. I used Golf Pride Midsize Dual Duometer grips.

I tried out both clubs this morning, along with the Snake Eyes Viper Ti-4 6-iron (Grafalloy Prolite shaft, +1″, 2° upright) that I built a while ago, but my testing was inconclusive. I didn’t see a marked difference in any of the clubs, though I’m leaning toward removing the Viper from the mix, as I don’t like how it sounds when I hit the ball.

I’ll need to do a much more extensive evaluation at a later time. I thought that the lighter shafts and lower swingweights (D-1) would allow a bit more distance, but that’s yet to be proven. I’m also trying out shorter clubs in an effort to make striking the sweet spot a bit easier.
