golf clubs new set (irons) suggestions please

guess the prius clubs are here to stay! i will definitely be taking a look.

i remember teeing off with a 4iron on a par 5 and getting on from there with a 7wood oh those where the days!

 

to the op...whats your handicap

 

7-woods are thing of a the past. I don't even carry a 5-wood actually, just a 3-wood and my aforementioned 2-iron hybrid. The 2-hybrid gets me out of all sorts of trouble that a 5-wood can't.

 

i will say the hybrids arent for everyone but if you can hit them they will be your best friend with a good drive and a 3hybrid getting on is def doable

 

i looked and couldnt find a golf thread so im gonna start one

 

man its been so many years since ive played and kept track but i was at a 8 i think i have my usga account info somewhere

 

an 8 wow

 

OP here's a list of good irons to get you started with research. It's from the golf digest hot list.

Pick 4 or 5 you like and head to the store to test them out.....

So wheres everyones home course? this was mine and will be again once i get my new set http://www.golfcochititoday.com/def...y=345139&pn=Page&DomName=golfcochititoday.com

 

If you are an 8 handicap then disregard my statement about Titleist and Mizuno irons.

 

This is my home course:

http://www.eaglesbluff.com/

 

this was my schedule 7am-3pm, hit the range hit the course finish 18 by sunset

or 1-9pm id go in at 8 hit the course, hit the range then work

and on my days off i still ended up at the course to get in on any open spot i could. yea kinda was addicted ha ha

 

nice, whats the elevation in the area?

 

the official golf thread has been started

 

400' or so.

 

you think you could still shoot it? ha...im down to a 6 right now...couldnt do it without my cobras tho. ha. i wish i had them when i played school golf...maybe i couldve went somwhere :-/

 

5300-6800 at mine

i dont know if i could still shoot it, i know my putting skills i still have

 

overall they are the best i have used. i have had old Tommy Armour before they were crap, Callaway X-16s, and Titleist DCI. cleveland is much better quality

stick with steel shafts, get 4-pw or 4-gw, cleveland irons tend to be strong lofted. the PW's are only 45- 46 degrees, thats closer to a 9 iron than PW, it makes it seem like you hit them longer than your buddies thats for sure.

i just got CG-7 tour irons. i have only played 2 rounds with them, its cold up here in connecticut.

i had Launcher LP irons and loved those, i actually still have them in case i dont like the CG7's. so far there not a big difference. you can get a set of these for under $300

 

As a former Golf Pro. my best advise is to find a pro in your area and go hit a bunch of clubs. Find what works for you and then let the pro fit you. It doesn't cost anymore for the irons to be made or adjusted to your specs. If you want to buy elsewhere just take your specs with you.

There are a lot of great clubs out there now. Off the top of my head, the Taylormade Burner series, Callaway 22's or the new Callaway Razr line, and Adams has some sweet irons out this year. My handicap is up to an 8 these days and I am loving my TaylorMade 2.0 irons, R11 Driver, and Rescue 11 hybrid.

Maybe there are some demo days coming to your area. Fun way to try new sticks and get on the launch monitor.
