I am looking to get rid of my RAC OS-2's and get a set with less offset and smaller head. I like my clubs, so I was thinking of getting a set of LT-2's...the only problem is that I can't find them in the stores to demo since they are so old. Have any of you played the LT's? Any opinions on them? I have tried the R7 TP's and I like them alot.

I used to play the LTs but switched out of them at the begining of last season or so.

I really liked them but I naturally have a draw and they still had too much offset for me and so I went to the MP67s.

I almost went with the Nike Procombo Tour but fell in love with the feel of the MP67s.

If I were you I would skip the LTs and go for a CB or MB instead. Have you looked at the X-forged or last years Titleists or even this years?

Someone did recommend that I try the Titleist 755's...I'm worried that I am not going to be able to play them though. I've always had a game improvement iron, but now I have dropped my hdcp to a 7 and I want to step it up. I was thinking of the LT's and the R7 TP's, something like that with some forgiveness to it. Thanks for the advice on the LT2's, I didn't know they had so much offset.

At a 7 handicap, you could probably hit any club you choose, just try them out first. The 755's have a small cavity back, so there is some forgiveness there.

Thank you for saving me some money!! ;) I won't consider selling my OS-2's until I am below a 10.... I have a long way to go!!!

Have some confidence man. Your a 7 hndcp, you'll be able to hit the 755's...people act like hitting the 'thinner topline' clubs or blades are IMPOSSIBLE. That's what everyone used back in the day. You can do it.

The LT2's are not that different from the OS2 from what I've heard, so I don't know if it's even worth it.

Handicap does have something to do with it but quite frankly it has more to do with your swing and your ball flight characteristics.

If you don't fighting a huge slice, don't have trouble getting the ball up in the air or have a lot of really bad misses, there isn't really much reason you couldn't hit a more forgiving CB/MB. If you have hook or a draw, there is no need to play a "Game Improvement" iron, it's only going to make it harder to correct that draw/hook. I still think a nice control fade is the best ball flight and if you can hit that with a nice CB/MB iron you're golden! A blade or a club with a small CB/MB would be a stretch but I know plenty of golfers with pretty good swings and they would shoot the same score regarless of what clubs they use, they just have too many blowup holes or they are just too crazy off the tee.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
