My golf teach said that my Wilsons, while they are decent clubs, are really not aimed at beginners because they are closer to blade style (shape). He was going on about the used callaway site and how there are much easier irons out there. What are some of the easiest to hit callaways?

In the Callaway line the Big Bertha irons are the easiest to hit by far. The X series irons are also not that difficult (especially starting with the X-18 thru X-22 models). Big Bertha has long been among the easiest to hit irons on the market. Adams AxOS (x being the model from 2, 3, 4 or now 7) are also very easy to hit and come with hybrids which are almost a must for higher handicap golfers now. Cobra and Taylor Made also make irons that are easy to play now and really most manufacturers do. Best thing is to just try some and go with what you like the look and feel of best (as well as price).

Yeah it looks like they are around $400 even for the 2006. I bet I am better off just learning to use my current clubs, I am consistenly seeing improvement so far anyway.

True. It looks like you could probably get a set of 2008s for around 300. From reputable retailers like golfetail too.

hmm.

Taylor Made RAC OS2 are great for a person of your handicap. They go for pretty cheap now.

The Di7's are not a blade style club they are a SGI or GI but definatley not close to blades your clubs are fine and there is no need to switch.

Wilson Di7's

Blades


Notice the Nike forged blade does not have the pocket cavity that the Wilson Di7 has. Your clubs are far from being blade like and they are perfectly fine for you. Time to change your golf teacher if he/she thinks they are blade-like.

just wanted to let you know from experience... i started with super game improvment irons (wide sole) and they helped me break 100 in my first season playing, but they didn't give me much room for improvment, half way through this season (my second) i switched to the nike pro combos and i hit them much longer and much straighter. i said that to say this don't fall into the hype of super game improvment irons i honestly believe they're designed to make you buy another set in a year or two once you make out there potential. get a nice cavity back that you can play for quite a long time till your handicap lowers considerably. just my two cents.

Well that is what my teacher was getting at I believe, the fact that "sgi" irons have a wide sole and would forgive fat shots, etc.

He is a really old stickler, but heck he helped me break 50 with 2 half hour lessons.

it all depends on what you have to spend... if you can afford to buy clubs this year and then grow out of them in a year or two and get new ones then yea i'd be all for it... i'm just saying i think you'll be ready for something different very quickly...

Seems to me that he has already helped your game with the irons you are using. Keep what you got because they will only get easier and easier to hit.

The Wilson Staff Di series is the most forgiving club in their line and targeted toward mid to high handicappers. I would think it to be an ideal club to learn to play golf with.

actually, I gotta say, your clubs will do you just fine. Once your teacher is done with you, you'll be hitting the ball so well, you'll kick yourself for dishing out extra cash for Game Improvement clubs when you really want something with more feedback and control.

Just speaking from my experiences. I had GI clubs for less than a year and grew out of them.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
