First post on here in a few years so here it goes!

Last year's season started off with good playing, but ball was always forward in my iron play, my swing was outside to inside and my drives rarely sliced less than 30 yards... Bought myself a membership and got to work at the range over the summer... Started from scratch and redid my whole swing to move more inside to outside and start turning over my wrists more, which meant more distance and a draw that I could control. Ball moved to the middle of my stance and contact would follow and the swing became awesome. Driver confidence was up along with 3W and 3H. Hitting all my irons perfect and wedges were good too. Backswing was good, I moved it more towards a 3/4 swing for more consistency and did not see any change in yardage. I am also currently working on the pinky overlap instead of my old style base-ball grip.

My irons were Old (90's maybe?) Taylormades, and I got this awesome deal from a golfer I used to do side jobs for. A set of Cobra Amp Cells PW-4i, 2013's, for $100 and working for him, he would pay off the rest. They have only been played twice, the second time I played them to try them out.

I played them for my last round this previous season and I could not hit them.... It was also going from a reg. shaft to stiff shafts, but all my other clubs are stiff and I have the swing speed for them... When the shots got into the air, everything was shanking from my shaft, maybe because it was cold? But I played well with my irons just weeks prior to testing these. The only reason I want to say it was my swing is because I could barely get my hybrid shots off the ground, you know your going to have a bad day.

The other day I took out my new 8i, went to hit a few shots and sure enough shanking them... Im going to the range later this week to keep trying them out, im just hoping I didn't make a mistake with the irons, even though I could still trade them for something else as well. I just felt awkward hitting the shots, I even tried moving back a little and then it seemed as if I was looking up pulling my swing up. Doesn't make sense to me.. or maybe im over thinking it?

In my Tour Bag:


Taylormade RBZ Driver, 3w, 3h
Cobra Amp Cell Irons 4i-pw
Vokey Wedges, 52,56,60

I doubt the lengths, lie angles, and swingweight of the two sets are the same. You should really get the specs of your old irons measured and get the new set matched to them.
