Hey everyone, this week I'm going to be looking for a set of irons to replace my 20+ year old grand slam II blades (from my dad). I consider myself a pretty good golfer (8.2 hcap), but I'm deftinitly not the best ballstriker (only 4.3 GIRs avrg.) I think it might be because the irons I have currently have really light and soft shafts, and so everything goes left (even a cut swing). So I've got my list down to 5 different sets:

1. Mizuno Mp-60 w/ DG S300
2. Wilson Staff Pi7 w/ DG S300
3. Adams a3 Boxer
4. Macgregor M685 w/ Rifle 6.0
5. Callaway X-18

I know this is a pretty ecletic list, but what do you think will the best?

In The Bag

Callaway X460 10 w/ Fujikara 65 Stiff
Adams Ovation 2 15 degrees
Cobra Baffler 23 degree Powerbilt Grand Slam II Irons Callaway Forged+ 54 wedge Rossa AGSI+ Daytona 1 NXT or NXT Tour

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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."
