  The L59 G20's do not go stated distance with full backspin... using the L45Calli (z)... I hit about 70 shots with 3i-9i in low wind practice on one of the long flat fairways on BPB... 12 i think.

  Play what is in front of you.

   

  You know the clubs....

  Yu know waht they can and cannot do.

   

  FWIW, I qualed for last years US open with G10s, and GISD balls.

  Hi ,

  I have done the same. I played with R11 Set until Master Tie and changed to G20.

  The G20 Driver is great. The Irons you need to get use too because of the HIGH

  Trajectory. You need to recalculate the wind because this irons fly very High and Stop

  Immediately. I really like this Irons but if you dont want to change your Irons an Upgrade to

  Rocketballs Set would be interesting .

  Completely agree... just saying... the chart is not accurate.  I was very disappointed to find out the L59 G20's are 5-10 yards short per club using full backspin.

  No charts are 100% accurate, There is still deviation to consider.

  Hi ,

  a good question! I had the same problem and i changed to G20 Set! Really nice Driver

  but the Irons you need to get used too. Completely different because of High Trajectory. Wind must be recalculated and they stop immediately. I really like them. If you dont want

  to change that much the Rocketballs Irons are a good option , too! Greetings!

  I have nothing to compare to because I came from the starters directly to the lower G20s.  Forgivness is fine.  Don't believe the fears.  Distances are ok, a little random at times, but ok.  I use the WGT Tour-S balls with one dot distance and two dots spin.  Topspin hurts carry, but b/s doesn't fall too far off stated yardages.  

  I am noticing I can get up the hills at Bethpage a lot easier....that must be the trajectory....even though I can't really see it taking place in real time.  The wind is a little more, but not much.

  I think the set rates out about as advertised.  I don't think they need a lot of getting used to at all.  I don't even notice mis-hits killing my distance like has been reported multiple times.

  I would say they are a nice set of clubs.  Grab em, play em, and decide for yourselves.  But, I'll likely have them for a long time.

  Hi SKC,

  My yardages with L71 Nikes dont tally to yours, are your yardages including roll or "landing" spot?

  If they are including roll then I concur with you slightly but with full bs most of my clubs stop the ball dead..

  My bs figures are the same as yours for 8i down to Pw  but u have up to 5 or 6 yards further with full bs from the 8i up?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
