Iron with a 34 loft

[monkeytennisdude]

Hi all, 
Rather new to golf. Currently cleaning up some Mizuno MX-19’s I’ve been given. The set is missing a 5 and a 7 iron though. Anyone know of a good 2nd hand 34 degree loft and similar hand length to sub it out for?

Rather then trying to find matching irons you might want to look at some hybrids in the lofts you are looking for.

Just learn to play without them for now. My first set of clubs didn't have a 6-iron. If you're new, the feel and what you'll learn trying to manufacture some of the in-between shots will be valuable in the end.

I second this. When I was growing up and getting into the game, my dad cut down one set of irons into an odd set (for when I was 4-7) and an even set (8-13). Obviously my distances were a lot closer together at that age, but I still learned a lot about what could be done with a less than optimal tool for the job. Now when I have overhanging trees or some other obstruction to my natural shot shape for a given distance, I know that there is always another option to get the ball close/closer to the hole.

I'd say just rock the evens and learn to play around the gaps until you have a solid, repeatable swing. You'll learn more without those clubs than you think.

Funnily enough my wife brought me a 5H fybrid for Christmas to match my 3 and 4H fybrid. And after playing around with some spare clubs I’ve found a Lynx boom boom 7 iron that seems to fill the gap nicely.

Good for you, Merry Christmas.
