Im looking at buying some new irons, i play off 18 at the moment but only usually get out once a month or so due to playing football taking up all my time, but my footballing career is almost over so now i want to focus on golf, i want to get my handycap down to single figures... which irons would you suggest, i currently have a set of 12yo top flite tour irons i hit them pretty well but its time to upgrade... so far i have tried Ping G10's callaway x20 (not a big fan of those) and nike sumo...

Considering you want to improve your game and get to a single digit cap, I would check out a set of TaylorMade R7's. They are not extreme game improvement irons, and they are not unforgiving musclebacks, they are right in between, so these might work well for you. Hope this helps!

I just bought Cleveland CG golds off of ebay (brand new, in original wrapping) for 425shipped! its a steal, a local shop wanted 750 lol
About the clubs, i love them. i got the graphite shafts, so they are lighter, very well weighted. The gelback helps you never feel a bad shot, it is like cutting thru butter. the face is big enuff to help(forgiving), but not too big. If you are a pro, try the CG reds. my friend(handicap +8) tried those and loved them.

Give Cleveland CG gold/red a try!!

I would recommend the Cleveland TA4's or Ping Eye 2's

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I just got fit for Ping G10's and could not be happier. I went to a highly rated Ping club fitter and in the process he corrected a few swing flaws and I gained 48mph on the swing analyzier and was striking the ball alot better. He also re-grip and extend my SW and 60* wedges so the will mach the rest of my clubs. I do plan to replace those wedges later this year.
In My MPB Bag:
Driver: HiBore XLS 9.5* Fujikara Fit-On Gold
Hybrids: FYbrid 5W
Hybrids: FYbrid FY, 3H
Irons: G10 4-9 & PW AWT Shafts with Cushion InsertWedges: Tour W 56* and 60* AWT ShaftsPutter: White Hot 2 Ball Blade with Winn Excel Jumbo AVS Grip Ball: Px3, Tx4, or Zip

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.
