    LeonDelBosque:

    MBaggese:
    I never had a problem holding shots with the G10's inside 150-160 yards, as I recall, most approaches were with wedges and short irons.

    As a Master with G10s, I beg to differ... my 4 and 5 irons getmore use than wedges for approaches on par 4s -- not to mention all the long (with G10s) par 3s (194, 204, 207, 202, 193, etc.) A few par 4s are usually unreachable. Granted, I don't have the R9.

     

    Interesting...I used the G10 driver, 3wood and irons into Legend this year, I just don't remember using a long iron into a par 4 that often, and don't ever recall finding any unreachable par 4's.

    I also used very inexpensive balls then as well.

    I'll have to set up some practice rounds and look at the cards...I might just be showing my age;)

     

    Edit:

    After a quick scan through the courses, I can see that BPB still plays long for Master/TM...where the burners could help.

    The other courses, unless I misses something, I don't think it's cost effective for the one hole good stopping power would be needed.

    I didn't look at Oak tho, but iron play is only a fraction of score there, as sometimes it's easier to put a 30 footer closer to the hole than a 6 footer;)

    most par 4s are reachable for me, only couple with high winds are tough to reach

    the longer pars 3, using longer irons, are fun, challenging (even using the driver sometimes with headwind on oakmont LOL

     

    how much exp does it take to reach 79 ? looking forward to those irons

    can't remember the hole #, but the 525 yarder at BPB and Congressional #11 with wind against are the ones I'm thinking of. Cong 2 and RSG 4 also come to mind. there are a few others... mostly BPB and Cong. sure, burners aren't necessary, but I need all the help I can get 

    I'm at lvl 78: 79 is 199,515
