Good morning! Currently I am using my brother's set Ping Si3 driver/ King Cobra Speed ld 3 wood and Nickent 3dx ironwood. Cleveland wedges and the rest is Ben Hogan Apex plus (3) with graphite shaft. Its ALL his left over clubs in his basement .

I am looking to get a new set for myself... and I am looking at Adams Idea A3 boxer Set with graphite shaft. Any comments on Adams for high handicapper like me.

Thanks

Bruce

Its really all about feel. Whatever feels the best for you I would suggest you get.

For the first set that I bought, I went with my dad to a local pro shop and probably hit every club in the store before I could make a decision. First set I got was the 02 model of the Big Berthas. Very easy to hit club. Cavity Backs are great for forgivness, so I would suggest something along those lines.

Anything other than that is really up to personal preference, whether it be look, feel, etc. Try em' all and see what you like. I have heard nothing but good things about Adams though.

Good luck with your decesion.

Do you have graphite or steel shafts? My problem is the graphite shafts are a little too whippy in the short irons for me. I was going to sell them but I'll probably just have the short irons re-shafted.

Nike Sweet 16

Callaway Steelhead Plus 19*

Srixon I-701 3-P

Cleveland CG-16 Black Pearl 52* & 58*

They're expensive but the Mizuno MX-950's are extremely forgiving. And they're forged.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
