As my welcome post stated, I just got back into golf after about a 8/9 year hiatus...meaning my clubs are a tad bit dated, and were purchased a various thrift stores across the state of Illinois. (All except 3 clubs that I purchased at a local golf boutique) What do you guys think about my set up, also I was thinking about buying a set of TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons.. 5-PW at least. What are you guys reviews on those?

We need to know more about you and your game.

How do you play?  What do you struggle with?  Were your current clubs ever tested for loft and lie? If you got them all used, they could be nuts, setup wise.

What is your budget?

EDIT: The best addition you could make to your bag would be a sandtrap.com avatar.

I do not know one player who judges another by the looks of the bag, or the content.  Pink grips or black make no difference to the game.

According to the local pro at the range I go to I have a very powerful and fast swing that still needs to be polished. I'll post video soon in the right thread. I'm pretty solid with my hybrids, I can hit between 150 and 220/230 depending on the back swing... My iron game as of now is horrible. So many duffed shots, but when I hit a good one its exactly how I visualize it to be. The guy who owns the local pro shop told me the Tour Edge graphite shafts that were on my irons were made for senior players and my swing is too fast for them. I have a slight slice which I've learned to utilize..even though I'm starting to get decent connection again.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
