Hi all - I was dead set on grabbing some of the new AP2s but after my fitting at the Titleist Regional Center at Jim Mclean in TX I was amazed at how well I hit the CB 712s. I trust the guys at Mclean and I certainly trust my own two eyes after hitting off their beautiful range. My quandary is it seems like a big leap coming off some old Cleveland Golds that I bought ages ago (2008?) and well before I started playing 7-10 times a month (moved from Northeast to TX and joined private club - HC down to 9). The AP2s just felt heavy yet I still struggled to get down on the ball and consistently smooth any. The CBs not so, even the few misses were solid contact/divot with a high right trajectory (more so from not finishing my swing I think). While I continue to improve on taking nice divots I have always been a "picker" so my misses are generally thin. But the CBs seemed to let me feel great about covering the ball and getting down through it. Has anyone else gone through a similar "am I really ready for blades" moment? Am I just thinking too much? I have heard too many horror stories that go like "my buddy is scratch and he bought blades and could not hit them and went back to GI irons a month later." Wondering if those are not exaggerations???? Would love to hear back from anyone with similar experiences. FYI - shafts were the Project X PXi 5.5s.
Thx!!!!
