so i went to every single new york city golf retailer and believe it or not, none of them carry a single brand new 2 iron!

This does not surprise me in the least. There's a very good reason why they are becoming rare even in tour players' bags. I used to carry a 1 iron and a 2 iron, but there's no way in the world I'd want one now.

I think you're going to make the game harder for yourself - and, playing off 15 with a thing about "players" clubs' (dontcha love that term?) it would seem that lowering your scores is not your prime motivation for wanting such a masculine and rare item.

lowering my scores by using forgiving clubs isn't my goal here. my goal is to play the best equipment possible and actually learn where the mistakes are made and don't make them. i am using CG1 black pearls right now, 3-PW, and these are NOT forgiving clubs in the least. next time i'll prob. get either the AP2s or the ZB Forged (or the 2009 versions of these) which i gurantee are more forgiving than the irons i'm using at the moment.

I noticed that.

I understand what you're doing, and there are a lot of people who talk about letting the club tell you what you're doing and stopping you from being lazy etc. I don't really agree with this - but I used to. I believe that it is an overstated sentiment. A good quality modern iron doesn't let you get away with murder and you certainly do have to hit around the middle to get good results. You will always know within a centimetre (in my opinion) where you have struck the ball, even with a non "players'" club. My point is that you might not be gaining the advantage you'd like. Give yourself a break.

    • Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.  
    • Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.
