I am curious what some of the instructors on here think of this theory. And like anything I am not saying this applies to all. But I wonder if it merits any for some?
The basic concept of aim small miss small. Sure SGI clubhead are huge and offer the most forgiveness on Mishits but correct me if I'm wrong. The size of the sweetspot on an SGI vs GI vs Players CB aren't much diff (Duno about MBs) it's just the bigger clubhead should make it easier if you do miss.
My personal test data...I started off golfing with SGI irons Cally Razr X HL version. Easily launched the ball but I had no clue where my contact on face was (still can't tell) for me the huge soles made it difficult to not blade shots as easily.
Onto RSI2s. Striking improved huge with the smaller soles and heads. I also got a way better idea of where the ball is coming off the face but I can't always tell if it was right on or not. But they do launch the ball very easily. Still a decent sized face.
I went to a local shop to kill time... Started hitting shots with the local employee on his break who games 716CBs... He said here try this (is same shaft I use DGS300) I was original intimated by the smaller clubhead but loved the look. I Duno if it's all forged CBs/MBs of that size but soon as I put a swing on it I knew if the ball was slightly heel or toe side. If it was gonna curve left or right (intentionally or not) the feedback was impeccable. But what amazed me was I was hitting it as consistently as my RSI2 7iron...
Now for reference my RSI2 7i is 31* bent to 32* the 716CB is 35*... I was hitting the CB flushed around 160 carry. Now the misses did punish a bit more then the RSI2 but not much 10yards vs 5-6yards with RSI2...
I do need to go back and hit a small CB again but my ball striking was a lot better/consistent with a smaller head. The Pro suggested that for some a smaller head forces you to concentrate more.
I know it's definetly not the forging vs cast as I tried Mizuno 850 Forged and they had less feedback then my RSI2s and my ballstriker G was worse.
So does that have any merit? That a smaller clubhead can force you to concentrate more? I know with a driver my contact can be all over face yet. 3w it's usually within .25"
