Unfortunately most stores do not have more than 10 left-handed demo clubs, and of course I don't like any of them, so I'm forced to buy blindly and based on others' recommendations.

Right now the two clubs I'm looking at are used X-16 irons or Big Bertha 2004 irons. Is one better than the other? They are both listed in "Very good" condition -from Callaway preowned - and about the same price.

I'm a high handicapper, and I hear these are very forgiving (actually I hear just about all Callaway clubs are very forgiving).

The Big Berthas would probably fit your current game the best as they are more forgiving than the X-16s. The X-16s are slightly less forgiving but they'll be the better club for you in the long run as your handicap lowers.

I don't think you can make a bad decision purchasing either set.

Before making a blind purchase... go and get fitted so you know if you have to have them turned up or flattened. For me... this was the biggest help to my game when I first started playing.

      The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
