Thanks! Love my Seamus headcovers, too. Excellent investment.

Re: the Titleist 915 driver, I don't find that I lose distance with it! I actually went BACK to it after flirtations with a G30 LS Tec and a fitted M2. I could squeeze a bit more distance out of those two (like five to seven yards), but I wasn't as consistent. Besides, during my testing I discovered the X factor was always shaft. If I got the shaft right, it almost didn't matter which head I was using. (Almost.)

In any case, if I find a head-shaft combo that works noticeably better for my swing than 915-AXIVCore, I'll definitely switch it up.

You have the same driver I do and have it on the same setting A-2. You do have a different shaft though. Mine is a little "tamer" being a Diamana 60R compared to yours. I actually get great distance with mine and pretty darn straight too.

Nice set up. Love the finish on the wedges!

Very nice bag...love the PING irons.

Would love to make a move on the new i200 irons but just still hit my i20 irons sooooooooooo good.

How do you like the AWT 2.0 shafts?  Have you ever played the CFS shafts and if so how do they compare?

Thanks!

My recently purchased back-up iron set (which I could very well game) is actually i20 with CFS stiff, so I could give you a pretty direct comparison. To me, the AWT feel smoother and perhaps slightly more responsive than the CFS, but in terms of weight and general stiffness, they are similar. I also like the ascending weight concept; I find the heavier shafts in the short irons particularly appealing.

That said, sometime in the next few months I will probably do some testing to see if one of my preferred shafts (Project X, C-Taper) works better. Not dissatisfied with the AWT; just have a sense that I could find a better fit.

But man, those i20s are awesome. The i200 are different in some ways -- cleaner looking at address, softer off the face, and maybe a bit heavier through the swing -- but I doubt you would see massive differences in performance. Ping irons stand the test of time.
