    Is it possible to receive a set of lemons?  I can't adjust to the RocketBladez irons no matter what I do.  The unforgiving nature of these clubs is turdwash.  You barely miss a ding and you might miss the green.  No thanks.

    I played back to back rounds, did nothing different by switch out my irons.  First round was a struggle to hit 6 greens and barely kept my mouse in one piece because of all the flying across the room it did.  Felt fortunate to score 35 (-1).  

    Played another round.....hit no more dings than before.....and shot 29 under the same course conditions.  I was never challenged in the round.  On cruise control the whole time.

    Argue all you want about psychology, confidence, or playing 9 first with the faster meter, but I'm telling you the difference was the irons.  And, I don't make a habit of coming in here spitting fire.

    The only other thing I can think of is that I got a lemon off the factory floor.  I hear too much raving about these sticks to think I play this poorly with them while everyone else improves.  Something is way off here.

    Constructive advice welcomed.

    Also using the Bladez from very recently...

    Also using the 70% spin Callies..

    Where I had the G2o's before for 20+ ranks..I was used to my adjustments for the wind in relation to them..hence my reasonable G.I.R..

    But with the Bladez the drift is amazingly much much more affecting the shots..I have now grown to adjust to my usual amounts regarding the wind..I then move the marker half again..this has helped..not ideal but how I have coped with the dramatic change for now Choppo..No doubt I will eventually bother to fine tune my use of them.

    Usually I average 2-4yds from the pin..Now more like 4-8yds..But it's helping me improve my putting so suffering it for the moment.

    Will ☺

    Funny, I've noticed the difference between the i(s) and the i(z), too.  Maybe its just the ball combo.  But, I've also noticed the stoppage power is noticeable with the Z ball, too.  The s's stop well, the z's rollout a good bit more.
