  1. As a newbie, I am not allowed to start any new threads, but perhaps I can get some good advice by responding to this thread as I think it applies. Me = put down the clubs more than 10 years ago, thinking to stick to tennis. Now have a renewed passion to play golf again. I was a good golfer back in the day w. a constant 4-6 handicap. Weakness was shortgame and putting...strength was ball striking altho I wasnt particularly long. Here's what I have/had in my bag, and I am wondering if I need to upgrade all my gear or not because I know the gear has really changed in the last decade. Driver - When I quit it was a Big Bertha Warbird, stiff steel shaft and 9 degree loft. Head seems tiny compared to the current drivers, and feel sure a new driver is in order Fairway Wood - Taylormade 16 degree Raylor, s330 shaft. Irons - Daiwa DG273 blade - 2 thru 11 - s300 - swingweight now seems too high to me at 60 years old and think it may be time to go to a regular shaft. Cleveland Classic 60 degree wedge My questions: -Are the newer irons of lighter swingweight? I think that I have lost clubhead speed do to age so therefore distance and ability to hit a high ball as required - I really prefer a traditional looking club having last played blades but realizing I need some game improvement features. Also played for years w. persimmon woods. So I need recommendations for a driver w. a conventional pear shape head and also cavity backs w. a thin top line and conventional headshape which are forgiving. -Just before i quit 10 years ago, I tried a new Titleist ball , but it was really HOT! but spun great and had the soft feel I like...are most of the balls these days hot like that? can folks here recommend how much of my gear I should scrap and based upon what I've said suggest some new gear for me? would really appreciate some help to get me back into the game. . I know that my best bet would be to try a bunch of different gear, but I think I need to at least put myself on the right track. thanks so much, and sorry if this is viewed as hijacking
