For those dogging on Wilson/Staff's, anyone know what irons were used to win the British Open this year?

99% sure it was the pi5 irons last year and the pi7 irons this year.

Probably Nike. Don't really hate them, but when I think Golf, they don't come to mind.

Someone mentioned Ping - I agree, their irons, and even wedges (and I play the wedges, LOL) are quite ugly...but I find their hybrids and woods to be very appealing to the eye, and they hit very well.

Driver Ping G10 10.5*
Hybrids Ping G5 (3) 19* Bridgestone J36 (4) 22*
Irons Mizuno MP-57 5-PW
Wedges Srixon WG-504 52.08 Bridgestone WC Copper 56.13
Putter 33" Scotty Cameron Studio Select #2

I would base it on the types of clubs....like I would never buy anything Callaway except woods.....the jury's still out on Nike but other than your knock-off brands found at Wal-Mart, I'd hit anything that can keep me in the 70's

Irons wise I'll never buy another set of Titleist.

How come you don't like Titleist irons? Bad experience?

Well, just about anything is better than what I play right now. The name is Foremost and I bought them at Walmart years ago.

I haven't hit a lot of different clubs, but from what I have hit, I'm not too fond of Mizuno drivers and I am not a huge fan of TaylorMade. Don't think I'll ever go the Nike route, even though I was very close to doing so at one point.

I've never owned any Callaway clubs, but I have swung and hit them before and loved the feel of their irons and woods. Swung the Squareway wood at Dick's Sporting Goods not too long ago and that thing feels amazing. I have somewhat of an allegiance to Callaway even though I've never really even played a full round with anything from them. Surprised at how many people don't like Callaway.

I too like MacGregor clubs. Again, have never played a full round with them, but from the feel of them, they're very nice.

I've always also sort of looked at Titleist as just a brand that makes great balls. Haven't ever given their clubs a try. Might have to though.

I've had the AP1s since April. Worst club I've ever hit in my life. I hit them about 20 yards shorter than any club I pull out of the demo cart. I got so sick of them the other day I called the Mizuno rep and ordered myself a new set of MP-57s and MP-T wedges.

I was just thinking . . . .

Let me guess that if Tiger switched to Pings, you might change your mind.

Never understood the brand-centric attitudes of some. I do realize that golf is 90% mental and one is unlikely to play well with clubs they don't like for whatever reason.

If you're a 5, the AP1 are probably not the right sticks for you. Not sure why you would expect otherwise.

For about two seconds. Then I swung one and hit it.

Yeah, I made the mistake of buying them. I didn't want to wait the 8 weeks or whatever it was for the AP2. If I was smart I would've kept my MP32s just in case haha.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By StuM ·

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By StuM ·

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
