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

      #1. I rather lower my score by 3 instead of making an eagle... but a hole in one is a hole in one and I'm still didn't make one.

      Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
