What do you think of OS (oversized) clubs ? Will they be good for amateur golfer, or i should buy normal blades ? I've read on many forums that OS are better for amateurs because of larger clubhead, and because of that easier shots, but maybe i should go straight to blades and just spend lots of time by practising ?

Thanks for any advices ;)

P.S this is one of my first posts so please correct any of my mistakes ;)

P.S #2 and sorry for bad topic ( the "technique" word)

I think oversize are for those that can't hit the ball with anything else.

Definitely not for you if that's your picture. Buy used and make a split set. Blades for the short irons and game improvement for the mid and long irons. Work your way into blades on the mid irons to keep frustration at a bearable level.

All cavity backs - too many too list, just stay away from the ones with really big faces or that look like a mini-hybrid (sausage)

This link will get you started.

Currently i'm thinking about some callaways - especially X24 or X20 ( not looking at price) - good choice ?

X24 Hot http://www.golfio.com/golf-equipment/callaway-x-24-hot-iron-set/77290.htm

If you can - please give me some examples - i will be very grateful :)

Titlist AP1 for 4-6-7

Blades 8- and up  (Hogan Radials or Directors if you can find them)

Other's will recommend something completely different.

So study Maltby!

I think the only way to buy that set is to buy club by club ( im in poland, golfing here is not that popular, only few shops across the whole country), but that will end with spending too way too much money :/ But i will try, thanks for help :)

EDIT: And will Titleist AP2 be good instead of AP1 ? 'Cuz i found only the ap2

AP2's are good too. Your question is like "Help me find a car."  There are so many to choose from.

What you need to do is go to where you can hit different clubs.

For blades - the older ones are dirt cheap in the USA. Especially on E-bay.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
