I've been going to the golf range for a month now, pretty much 3x a week. I also sneak on to the golf course near where I live and practice every night chipping, putting, long and short irons. My swing is by no means perfect but I can hit the ball a good distance and have a consistant ball flight. I play a set of old irons called Wilson Aggressors http://valueguide.pga.com/detail-exec/brand/2775/product_type/205/model/43444/b/Wilson/p/Iron%20set/m/Aggressor

I know they're old but just don't know how old. They're described as game improvement clubs but when I compare them to modern day game improvement irons they look nothing alike.

Does anyone know anything more about these Wilson Agressor irons?

When at the range I go with my dad who plays with Mizuno MP52's, he lets me use them sometimes and I hit the MP52 irons ( which I think are for better players) even better than my so called game improvement irons.

So the questions I have are:

When it comes time to buying new irons should I stick to game improvement clubs, something like the Titleist AP1 or should I be looking at something that I can use as my handicap goes down like the Titleist AP2's?

Sorry for the long story, hope someone can help. Thanks guys! :)

It's all a matter of preference.  Personally, I like the SGI (Super Game Improvement) irons like Big Berthas, Pings, or Adams.  If you like the feel of yours and hit them consistently, like you mentioned, no real reason to change.  I'd recommend getting some rounds under your belt and go from there.

I have bought and sold a couple (used) sets on ebay until I found a set I liked.

Good luck.

Just go to your local golf store (one that has a launch monitor) and pick out a few clubs that you like and hit them on the monitor and see witch (<~~ lol witch! Gotta love auto correct) one works best for you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
