Guru,

Really good info.

What swing flaws are the game improvement clubs masking?

If you are a Dual Horizontal Hinge swinger, are heel/toe weighted clubs more difficult to hit than a blade? Or put another way, are these clubs encouraging Angled Hinging?

Do clubs with lower CoG help prevent early throwaway?

Just curious. I have an old set of forged Mizuno CompEZ's that my wife now uses. They were my first "real" clubs and I really enjoyed them. When I hit them now, I take a few swings and immediately put them down. Not sure why they feel so bad, but it could be the lack of a distinct sweet spot feel. Not sure.

Thanks,

Bagger
