Hi guys, wondering if anyone has any idea on Howson carbon steel blades. Saw a set on eBay for no money so I bought them there and then. Now I’m trying to find anything about them and failing miserably. Never seen another set, probably won’t again. Fitted with R300U shafts and heads marked TOUR with a golf flag logo (don’t think they’re forged ). Any help greatly appreciated.

All steel has carbon in it. The amount differs from grade to grade, amongst other additives.

Howson Golf Clubs are Great!
Hmm... maybe I should qualify that a bit. 

Howson Golf Clubs have GREAT Names!

Actual Howson Golf Club Names:

  • The Attacker
  • The Enforcer
  • The Assassin 
  • The Hippo.... (record scratch)

All of them up to that last one sounded like a 1980's Chuck Norris Movie title.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I've got a set of those.I bought them for 25 pounds and refurbished them to sell on But....Took them up the range and couldn't believe how easy and nice they are to use.I've hit the hundred yards flagpole quite a few times.I've played 3 rounds of golf with them and hit 2 par 3 pins .I've just ordered some graphite iron shafts for them.They also are very forgiving. My other sets include,starting with the best for me are;Mizuno mp37,Ben Hogan Apex Grind,Mizuno ms3,Wilson Staff fg43,Slazenger Seve Ballesteros signature irons,Ram Tour Grind custom nickle,.These Howson are going to be my Number one Gamers.Regards David

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
