TaylorMade, probably. Wal-mart clubs are fine too since I made a hole-in-one with them last year. And I suck.

Which set of irons is best for a mid- to high-handicap golfer?

Question by davud5eva: Which set of irons is best for a mid- to high-handicap golfer?
I have not golfed in a few years, but when I did, I was a mid- to high-handicapper. My club are 10-year-old TopFlite shovels that really just won’t cut it anymore. I’m looking to get back into golfing a few times a week and want clubs that will last a while.

I’m 20 years old and probably have a swing speed in the 90s (just a guess). I hit the ball fairly straight, but struggle with my long irons, and am thus researching hybrid irons to mend this problem (but don’t necessarily need hybrids if regular irons are better).

I have taken particular interest in the Adams IDEA A2 OS hybrid set and the Wilson Staff Di7 set. I have also considered pre-owned Callaway X-18s.

I found the Adams set for $ 199/249 (steel/graphite) and the Wilsons for $ 299 (for either steel or graphite. Does anyone have a preference between the two or another suggestion.

Do yourself a huge favor and try out these clubs before buying them. They are all good clubs, and all have different characteristics. Find the ones that fit your swing the best, not some one elses.

Q&A: What irons are best for my game?

Question by Deezy: What irons are best for my game?
I’m looking for a new set of irons. I’ve been playing for a while now and I was on varsity for 4 years in high school. I haven’t been playing to seriously and I’ll be attending the Golf Academy to pursue a Golf Professional career. I’m looking for new irons because my Ping’s I have aren’t that great, and I’m missing a few clubs. I’m looking into the Taylor Made Burner’s, the King Cobra SZ, and S9; but am open to other options. I’ve heard good things about the FT irons from Callaway and basically I’m kinda bombarded with a bunch of decisions. which club, which stiffness. I’m a high handi-capper and I’m looking for that nice club. Please Help.

Answer by Dr. J
well i hear the burners will fit a game and player that knows how to make solid contact with the ball. that way you can get the feel of a muscle back/blade but the forgiveness of cavity back. and have controll over you long irons. but maybe try the mizuno mp 57 or 60

Q&A: Do some irons go farther than others based on their design/type of club? Will I lose distance switching irons?

Question by johnderson: Do some irons go farther than others based on their design/type of club? Will I lose distance switching irons?
I currently play the callaway x-20s which are fairly bulky and are an all around game improvement club. After playing with them a while, I realized I have acheived just about all these clubs have to offer in terms of feel, ball flight, spin and control. However, I can hit these a mile as I had an average distance of 210 yrds. from my six iron when I was getting fitted. I noticed it is easy to hit these a long way but there is hard to hit different shots other than a full on golf swing…. like punches or under the wind shots. So now I am looking at getting the mp-62s or Titleist ap2 but will I lose considerable distance with these clubs compared to my callaways? They seem a lot thinner and are designed for shot making and feel over sheer distance right?

P.S. What are some good irons on the market that are forgiving but still payable?( looking at mp-62 or titleist ap2s). Been playing 2 years and am currently ~14-16 handicap.

Answer by golfer4life23
if you are good enough to hit the ping i10′s they will give u great control and distance

Q&A: Why can’t I hit my irons that far?

Question by Pantaloons: Why can’t I hit my irons that far?
I’ve been playing golf for two to three years now. I started by taking lessons from an excellent instructor in the Pinehurst area and have a nice compact smooth looking swing. I have a one plane swing that relies on my body rotation to hit the ball by slinging my upper body through the shot with my hips, and hit the ball straight (most of the time). My driver is fine and I can keep up with the guys I usually play with who hit around 260-290 on average. My irons however are usually 1-3 clubs shorter than they are. It wouldn’t bother me so much but it kills me on the par 3′s when it’s 175 yards and I’m hitting a 4 iron and they’re hitting 6 or 7. I would like to be able to use a more lofted club like that to stick the green rather than watch it hit and roll off the back on these narrow or shallow greens. I just don’t understand the drastic difference in the irons. I use Callaway X-18s that are stock except new grips. Any help, advice, or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Answer by ConnorWilhem3
Have you looked at swing speed or taped your club face to see where impact is?

You might be hitting the ball towards to the toe or heel. That gives up a lot of yardage.

I have the same type of problem and bought a few hybrid clubs. They really help get the ball in the air at the 170 to 190 yard distances.

You must be playing on really hardpan greens if you ball doesn’t stay…

Forged Irons mean distance?

Question by Mainevent422: Forged Irons mean distance?
I just started playing golf again after 4 years of playing in high school. Two years later i need some clubs to play college golf. And i was looking at the Callaway x Forged set. I went to a Dick’s and hit the 8 iron and i love the smoothness of the swing.

So the question is, Forged irons(Blade?): does that mean little forgiveness?
Does that mean im going to have trouble adapting to a hardcore golfers type club?

Best answer:

Answer by vdrive_60
A forged blade will give you a higher degree of “workability”. Better players who have the ability can shape their shots better with blades than cavity-back irons. You are correct in the sense that forged blades will not be as forgiving on miss-hits.

Q&A: Best Price on 2008 Callaway Big Bertha Irons?

Question by Heath F: Best Price on 2008 Callaway Big Bertha Irons?
Good Afternoon, I’ve finally decided that the 2008 Big Bertha’s are the best fit for this stage of my game, and am ready to make my purchase. Because of their great customer service, and stellar fitting process, I’ll be purchasing this set at Galaxy Golf. They have a price match guarantee, which applies to any legitimate website as well as brick and mortor stores. Right now, their price is $ 599 for the steel shafts, with the best price I’ve found online being $ 549 at Greatgolfdeals.com. I’d like to save every dollar I can, and would appreciate any links to better pricing. Ebay isn’t an option, due to the fact that I’m a very tall guy who needs a great deal of custom fitting to the club. Thanks so much for the help.

Best answer:

Answer by googie
If you are a tall fellow and have been fitted, it may be worth the extra dollars to buy from the person who fitted you rather than scrounging around.. You could try to reduce the price through haggling but since Galaxy Golf fitted you properly and have great customer service don’t you think they deserve some loyalty?
