Home built Frankenstein combo set
Well, I finally went and did it. I mixed my '72 Hogans in this weekend with my Tourstage Z101s. Was thrilled with the Zs, but just felt like I had more control with the short irons in the old Hogans.
So Saturday I mixed in the 4,5,6 Tourstages with the 6,7,8,9, E of the Hogans. Played mediocre as usual so far this year (84 at Outaouais), but the experiment felt great.
Sunday I went 4,5,6,7 Z101s and 7,8,9,E Hogans and shot my lowest round so far this year with a 76.
The other unusual thing about combining these is that the Z101s are 2* upright (62* 5i), while the 72 Hogans are 2* flat (58* 5i). But who can argue with success?

Did you really play with two 7-irons?
If so, what was the criteria for chosing one over the other?

Nice experiment Reid. I'm tempted to toss the 8-PW from my GS blades in with cavity back 3-7 from another set and see how that works out. Since the offset in shorter irons is less, and apparently a cavity back in shorter irons doesn't really help that much...combo sets make sense.

I had been playing with a mixed set off and on before my heart attack. I had my Wishon 550C 3-6 irons and the TNT Grinder blades 7-PW. I played that combo for a few rounds and I liked it. I went back to the entire set of 550C's though. Once I get out and about and golfing again, and get my swing back (Hey nothing like having 2 three month periods between golf in one year it's like having two winter breaks) I will go back to trying the combo set. All of my irons are 2 up so it doesn't matter which way I go, and they are all the same lofts give or take 1 degree.
One thing I did notice, I was a bit shorter with the blades than the 550C's. But not much, and it might have just been my swing.
So I look forward to going back to the drawing board in September. Then again, I might need those game improvement TaylorMade 200's in the bag when I get back out on the courseMy opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

LOL! Like I need any more iron sets.
Unless of course you're looking for some wedges...
