    I have used ping most of my career but I got curious and rented the RBZ yesterday. They are cheaper than the G20 and comes two levels earlier so I somehow assumed that the G20 was somewhat sharper but my impression after a few rounds with the RBZ is that they are quite a lot better. They need to be dinged, that's for sure, the half dot of forgiveness is really noticeable. On the other hand - I seem to ding them more often. Don't ask me why, coz meter speed is higher...

    So, according to my experience:

    Predictability: RBZ wins by a mile. Mostly due to distance predictability. The G20, specially with the Nike balls, behave really weird when you put a lot of backspin on it and since they don't bite well, you need backspin.
    Round to: RBZ


    Precision: To be honest, I never felt the G20 lack in precision, if I ding, they seem to fly at the path that is to be expected. Apart from the distance (see above). However - the RBZ stops where you want them to. Very noticeable on the long irons and elevated greens.
    Round to: RBZ

    Scaling: I find it odd that the RBZ's PW is 125 yards. after that there is 135 & 145, only 10 yds in between. I guess it is good if you carry 3 wedges but the longest iron is 220, not really enough for me to feel comfortable leaving the rescue at home.
    Sure, the 220 is better than the 215 G20, but the 110 yds PW in the G20 set is short enough to go with 2 wedges and the rescue.
    Dilemma here.
    60-80-125-135-145-160 is a weird stepping.
    Round to: G20

    Meter: RBZ is faster, but I dont notice any difference really.
    Round to: Tie

     

    Does anyone have anything to say in G20's defence? Something that can convince me I could as well stay with the G20 :)

    I played the old burners for a long time and for what i have heard only the meter speed is different when it comes to the RBZ. Judging by this the RBZ are far better than the g20's.

    The odd scaling aint that bad and the 220 iron is long enough to let the hybrid go imo. This leaves room for a 3rd wedge. Learn your 3 wood well and you wont need the hybrid.

    IMO there is only one iron set better that the RBZ and that's the r11's. 

    If you can handle the meter speed go with RBZ

    I agree, more distance & accuracy.

    Pd: I have G20's L59 and still waiting for the R11's L90

    It seems that you've tested both of the irons yourself. If the irons are more superior than the G20s in damn near every category, why discuss? Buy them bitches, LMAO.

    Would have been easier to make a judgement, I think, had the RBZ's been at the same or higher level for the same or higher price. But they are not. Anyway, I bought them and yes, they are superior.

    I played with the big G20`s , and really liked them, until I made legend. The G20`s just didnt get it done anymore. I bought the Bladez after I rented them. Difference is night and day. The bladez are far more superior in every way.

    In deep rough and still managed to get it close to the pin. Not so easy doing it with the level 59 G20 irons.

    Very nice shot, Joseph! Yes, the clubs are great. Actually, seems like I will win my first tournament with them, the first day. I also made my best ever 9 hole round, 27, in another ready go today so I might win that one also :)
