I have been playing golf for about 10 months with this set of irons and about a 25 handicap now.  I have started to hit these clubs very well.  I want to buy a new set of iron within the next few months.  I wanted some help to see what i should upgrade to.  I see alot of good things about the ap2 and ap1.  Im thinking about getting a set of dci 990s or 690cb. I dont really want a set of pure game improvement irons i plan to keep the next set of irons I buy for at least a few years. So I want something that will still be playable when my handicap gets lower and swing gets better.

Trust me. Please wait until you miss hit every club almost the same way. THEN go and get fitted by a professional. THEN buy a set of second hand clubs that match your new swing, or have the second hand clubs adjusted. Your swing has many changes to encounter. Then you will want to upgrade from your second set of clubs. Be patient. Don't waste money (like I did when I first started). I suggest you wait 6 months at the very least. Keep playing. There are many discoveries (ah hah moments) that you will encounter along the way. Be patient, don't switch clubs yet.

It most likely wont be for a few months but a while back I lost my 6 iron. So now I have some cheap replacement with a graphite shaft that I bought from a pawn shop. when looked up just buying that one club for my set it cost like 50 bucks if I could even find it at the time when I had the money for it. I have seen I could get a set of 690.cb for like 150 bucks. So I wanted to get those in a couple months so I would have uniform set for a couple of years.

    • 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.
