I'm a 7.9 handicap and my birthday is in 2 weeks and my dad is getting me new clubs but I only need new irons, driver, and wood. I have my eye on the Titleist AP2 irons. My friend said after the first two times you play with them the chrome finish wears off and they look ugly. I was wondering if that was true. I also have my eye on the Tour Burner driver and woods, I have only hit the driver a few times and the woods once. They seem nice but when I went to golf galaxy and one of the employees said that they are much shorter than the old burner. Is that true?



If anyone else has any suggestions for clubs compatible wit my handicap lemme know.

Driver: G10 10.5 Stock Shaft
3 Wood: Taylormade r580XD
Irons: AP2 3-P, Project X 5.5
Wedges: Tour-W 52*, 56* SM, 60* SM
Putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5 34"Ball: ProV1 or ProV1xLow Score:74

There's no certain clubs ready for you because of your handicap. In order to know what the best clubs for you are, you need to get fitted.
What I Play:

Driver: Sasquatch SUMO² 9.5º Stiff
Hybrid: HiBore 16º (3W replacement)
Irons: Staff Ci6 3-PW StiffWedges: Vokey Spin Milled 54.10 60.04Putter: Newport Studio Style 35"Ball: Pro V1xAge: 15

Well, I dont need game improvement irons like the g10 irons or the callaway Big Bertha. I'm talking about like what irons are similar to the Ap2 and how much they like them. If you would read my post you would know what I was looking for.

I DID read your post, and there is no reason to get an attitude. You asked, "What are the best clubs for me?". No one knows that. You have to get fitted.

If you're looking for players irons, try some Mizuno MP's.

Yeah that's true. No one can suggest anything for you since we don't even know what your specs are. Besides, how do you know that the AP2's are the best for your game? Have you tried them and liked how they feel? I also suggest you should get fitted...

Try different irons, and see what feels best.

You are lucky to get a new set of irons and driver! What fun, I would hit everything out there and see what will take you to the next level. Launch monitors and driving ranges at golf stores are great.

I am a Mizuno and Taylor Made guy. Have you hit the MP models of Mizuno? nice forged irons. I heard good things about the Burner driver but the launch monitors do not lie. What shafts are you getting with the iron and driver? Have you looked into the TP model drivers of Taylor Made.

Take the time to get fitted and take your time with your choices. Happy Birthday.

No one can really say what feels better than the ap2's because everybody has a different opinion. What feels good to one person may not to the other. If you like them go for it. I notice you currently have Ping Zing irons, have you tried the i10 irons or even the s58's? I am a big fan of ping equipment.
Driver wise give the Nike SQ Sumo a try.

Get some Pings. They come from the factory ugly, but on the other hand, they won't get any uglier!

LOL!

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
