I am currently playing some cheap knock offs that I recieved a couple years ago. I hit them pretty well, but now that i'm starting to shoot in the 80s I would like to upgrade. I have graphite shafts right now, and everyone has been telling me to get rid of them and go to steel shafts. I'm ok with losing the distance for the accuracy.

I guess my question is whats your thoughts on irons. i see alot of callaway g5's being played around here. I've also thought about maybe going with some mizunos but I'm not sure. Whats your thoughts?

Ive never heard of callaway g5..but you can almost never go wrong with a set of mizuo players clubs. Not as forgiving as some would like, but they are amoung the top 2 or 3 forgings you can buy.

Not to be a jerk but how can you be shooting high-80's low-90's and have an 8 handicap?

I'd recommend Titleist irons, they're great !

I'm in the same boat. I just bought the Taylormade RAC Muscleback Forged. They are still being built.

It's really hard to recommend an iron because it's all about personal preference. I do recommend staying away from oversized or offset irons though.

What I would do is this. Buy a set of forged irons (Cavity or Muscleback...Cavity back are more forgiving). However, only carry the 7, 8, 9, and PW. Keep the 3, 4, 5, and 6 iron of your old set in your bag. (harder clubs to hit). Get used to the forged feel until you are ready to go all out forged. I believe this is the best way to get adjusted.

I need to change my handicap, I'm used to a 9 hole course so I'm thinking 8 as in 9 holes. Thank you for reminding me. I realy like the looks of some of the titleist irons I've just heard there realy hard to get used to. They take alot of time to know how to hit them

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      Next update: our Saturday (6/21) round is booked at Reserve Run (Poland, OH). It’s about 50 minutes from Cranberry Highlands. Tee times are 12:40, 12:48, 12:56, and 1:04.  I’ll send some thoughts on hotel locations, etc. later, but we have our golf booked!!!

      More often than not its my 58 degree wedge. But I might use the sand wedge or the p-wedge depending upon what's between me and the flagstick.

      My rule of thumb for anything inside a 100 yards is my PW.  Of course, my SW and LW come into the picture when I need to loft it more and especially when I have little green to work with.

      let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me.

      Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Thank you for sharing that. He was quite good wasn't he? I was curious, so took a look. He played 19 PGA Tour stroke play events in 2000. He was 263 under par (they did point that out at the end of the video). If you look at each event he played in and take the best score in each event for a player not called Tiger Woods, that combined field score was -259. So he beat the field - where the field resets every week - over the course of an entire season. That's mind blowing.
