G10/Kent Sports Clones

Summary:
I tried a set of the G10's and they are great... just the swing weight standard is too light for me. I purchased the Kent sports PX-1 clones of the G10, and put in some S flex UST Platinum shafts... GREAT irons! Kent makes the Alpha Reaction driver heads that dominated the long drive circuit a few years ago, so they are not the typical clone junk... these are VERY close to the G10's and at $8.50/head, a steal. The heads might be not quite as nice as the original, but the shafts are MUCH better than any Ping standard, so the result is, for around $180 total, a better stick. High quality stainless, the ball explodes off the faces.

For you guys looking to save a lot of money, the Kent sports clone is a super way to get same or better performance for a whole lot less!

Cheers!

I think that Kent sports has a lifetime guarantee on the driver heads, maybe the same for the irons?

Ping G-10 Irons, steel

Summary:
I started playing the game of golf in May of 2008 and as you all know, "the first million is always the hardest." I was kind of fed up with how crappy I was with my this set of old Macgregor's my cousin gave me, which weren't forgiving at all. So, long story short, I decided to buy new irons and settled on the G10s after about 20 minutes at the store. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe all the new game improvement irons are this good, but I really like these. They are forgiving and you can still hit draws and fades with them. My newest problem with them is that I'm pulling shots left. This could be happening because my alignment is off, but it was a common problem that I read about with these clubs and recently, I've experienced it.

I'm not sure if it's the clubs, or maybe I'm just improving as a player, but I'm hitting my 4-iron around 170 yards now and straight. I'm far less irritated when I play now and can actually enjoy myself. I have yet to break 100, but hopefully that will happen soon. So far, my best round has been a 103. Is it the G-10s or am I just improving a lot? It's most likely both. One thing is for sure: the G-10s are a lot of fun, forgiving, and accurate. And it's also good to know that when I flub a shot, I can't blame these clubs. I know it was my own fault that caused the mis-hit. I'm very confident inside of 150 yards and have pulled some nice shots out of my butt in the last couple weeks. Breaking 100 for the first time, here I come, baby!
