Hiya

Still very much at the grooving my swing stage however, cant do much without an iron set

Recently sold my Mizuno Zoid Pro II (Musclebacks) set because I was sold them with jumbo grips (which I wasnt aware of at point of sale) so I am now looking to invest in a set and stick with them until I am nothing less than a mid handicapper.

I seen a 3-SW set of used original Callaway FT for sale yesterday (£275), never played with graphite shafts before but it felt extremely comfortable.

I've read further into it and apparently the wide sole FT irons are actually easier to hit than the originals and I've spotted a set of them available on EBay.

If it helps give advice, I am 5'6", working on slowing my down swing speed down dramatically to improve contact.

I just wanted to know if these clubs are as forgiving as what a lot of the reviews say they are and of course an ideal set of weapons for a beginner to develop their game with and keep for around 5 years.

Sorry if I have missed vital information out.

Driver : John Letters T9+, 10.5 deg, Aldila 'Tour Gold' graphite shaft

Woods : John Letters 3W, John Letters T9+, 15 deg, Aldila 'Tour Gold' graphite shaft

Utility : John Letters 3 & 4 Hybrids, T8

Irons : John Letters 5 to SW, T8, True Temper steel shafts

Wedges : John Letters 60 deg, TP-S model

Putter : John Letters Silver Swan, 29 inch shaft

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
