Hi all,

 

I’ve recently got back into golf. I used to play when I was around 12-14 and played off a 36 handicap and my brother is currently pretty good playing off around 5. So I’m not a complete beginner and have some good help as well, I can strike the ball well however sometimes suffer with a miss hit etc.

 

im now looking for some clubs under £200 second hand and I’ve seen a 5-pw Taylormade r9 tp for around 150 and I just wondered if these would suit me? Looking to get some nice irons with forgiveness but also a bit of playability as well.


Hello and welcome to TST! Honestly, clubs are ultimately pretty darn personal preference. We all recommend at least hitting clubs prior to purchase to get a feel for any likes/dislikes.
As far as quality, playability goes, there’s really no reason these clubs won’t suffice for you as long as you like them. Obviously trying to play with muscle back/blade irons could pose some more difficulty, but any clubs made in the past 10-15 years will suffice for you, as long as you like them.

By like, I mean you may not like the look, the sound, etc. Otherwise, enjoy yourself and come back here for some excellent swing tips! Cheers!

Thanks man! Yh true but I don’t feel like I need the massive cavity backs! I’ve also found a pair of Taylormade 2009 burner tour? Do you know much about them and how they compare?


  • iacas changed the title to TaylorMade R9 TP

I’ve certainly heard good things about the Burner series….

    • Yeah, their experiences with the Edel stuff does NOT match my own. Golfers shouldn't need to practice alignment, and golfers can't align a line on a ball very accurately either. Just a bunch of hooey in those posts up there, IMO and experience.
    • The exact same for me. Although I think I was more like 20 inches right of the hole, but yeah, same thing.  I'm telling you, the LAB putter people are a cult. The only thing in golf I've ever seen similar to this is The PROV1 cult. "Raise your right and swear; I will only play PROV1's, no matter if my handicap is north of 30 and I loose 9 golf balls per round." They are like Starbucks fans or I-phone people who refuse to admit the competition might be better as some stuff.  I have very literally heard people at the driving range talking about putters and bringing up "The Revealer". Saying things like "Have you seen how much putter X spins in The Revealer? ... You gotta get a LAB putter."  The other thing I find fascinating is the number of people who say something like "LAB putters are individually custom built, they aren't massed produced. That's why they cost so much." It is as if everyone of them is as unique as a fingerprint. 🤷‍♂️ I gotta give LAB all the credit in the world. Their marketing department has done wonders. Image what "The Hammer" could have been if it had been marketed by LAB.  I haven't liked any of the LAB Putters I've tried. If you do like them, that's great. But please put down the Kool-Aid: Don't join the cult. 
    • I thought this was an interesting discussion about someone asking about how lines impact aiming and LAB creator’s response. They were specifically asking about an Edel fitting. I don’t know what he was expecting posting this in a LAB forum. Why would you want to have to “work” on your aiming or overcome an aiming issue? I go to the eye doctor every year and they’ve said for the past 10 years your eyesight hasn’t changed. Am I missing something when he says it “changes all the time”?    I did an Edel fitting and went from aiming a foot right to spot on. I don’t use a line on the ball any longer and can just step up and putt knowing where I’m looking and where I’m aiming match. It changed my whole perspective on putters. I’d be fearful now of buying a putter just based off what I think looks good because I’d always be worried if I’m aiming where I’m looking.
