Iron Difference

What is the difference between the Snake Eyes 600B Irons and the Acer XP 905 Tour?

They both can have the same shafts and grips and the Acer XP 905 Tour is cheaper.

The only difference in a lot of irons is the clubs for example Mizuno, Titleist, and a lot of other companies all use TT Dynamic gold shafts which both of those have and grips similar to golf pride tour velvet. The only difference is the heads.

I know the lofts are slightly different but they both have a carbon steel face.

The snake eyes are thin blades and the Acer's are big cavity backs almost resembling a callaway x18 tour or something....the snake eyes are forged blades and the acers are cast (I believe)....The snake eyes are going to be softer, but less forgiving, you will hit them a bit lower, but will work the ball a bit easier....The snake eyes are for better ball strikers...The Acers are made for more the recreational golfer, where as the snake eyes for the better player..The acers are going to go higher, be more forgiving, and probably go farther, but you wont have as much spin, feel, and workability...They are two different irons that will perform two different ways...

I would play the snake eyes, but other people would like the more forgiving cavity back better....It all depends on your ability and what you want out of your golf club...

Hope that makes sense

Does anyone know the answer? Those are all the components for different custom clubs that I found and all of the ones I see in major brand companies is 1020-1030 Carbon Steel, and Carbon Metal Metrix (The metal is only used by Cleveland).

Hey nikerep i think i finally asked something that you don't know lol.

I think you are getting caught up in the "marketing" of the golf club...I dont know what clubs you are trying to look at about this carbon steel stuff...I dont think it really matters to be honest...When OEM clubs are talking about their stuff, they are not usually talking about a certain number steel or whatever...I wouldnt worry about it honestly...I dont even know if there is a right answer... I just take it as something that they tell you were you are supposed to be like Oh cool 109487740 carbon haha...But I could be wrong

like i said before though all name brand clubs use the same thing and then the custom clubs use some completely different

Name Brand:1020-1030 Carbon Steel and CMM Metals in Clevelands

Custom:S25C Carbon Steel, S45 Carbon Steel, 8620 Carbon Steel, and Mild Steel

It has something to do with the welding process and i'm guessing the custom clubs are that way because they are cheaper but I need someone who knows more about metal to help me.

HAHA....I am only going to say this again......."you are getting caught up in the wrong things" It doesnt matter...seriously....I dont think there a difference you are looking for........I mean...If you want to know which iron is harder or softer I could prob tell you, but honestly, its not gonna be that much difference between the Titleist, Mizuno, Nike, Cleveland, in terms of softness if you are looking at all blades
