Ideas For New Club Heads....

[Cheez-It]

So I bought new clubs 2 weeks ago. Walter Hagen XI cavity back blades. Somewhat forgiving, but not really . I have used them for about 4 rounds and realize I cant hit them at all. The 8, 9 and PW work but thats it. I shouldn't have bought them but the price was right so I took the plunge.

I'm thinking about getting new club heads. Something over sized and way more forgiving. I play with a buddy every week that has TaylorMade rac OS2 irons and I hit them great. Hitting these clubs seriously shaves 9 or 10 strokes off my game.

The reason why I only want new heads is because my shafts are great. Precision Rifle 6.0 shafts. Well at least I like them....

Any ideas or advise on what to do? Or where to buy just the club heads?

You can look on ebay for heads. I personally like my friends TM rac LTs. It is alittle less forgiving but lets you work the ball which i like doing.

Yeah, I have been looking on Ebay it just seems like club heads are hard to come by. I would really like the TM r7 heads or the rac OA2.

I looked at the LT's and LT2's. Are those smaller or less forgiving or both? They kinda look similar to the rac OA2's.

If your looking for heads I suggest you go to Golf Smith, all very good quality and probably a bit cheaper than big name companies... the personal service you will get from Golf Smith will be a lot better than buying heads off Ebay.

Good call. I will try to get down there this weekend.

My first reaction was that you should change the shafts, that was until I got to the part that said I love my shafts.

If the 8 - pw work try switching out the shafts in the 5-7 to something a little weaker, 5.0 or 5.5

Switching out the shafts for my lower irons, huh? Didnt even think of that. I guess that would help in the ball striking department.

Then my question would be a 5.0 or 5.5? I know 5.0 is a little "more stiff" then Regular and 5.5 is considered "Stiff", but I dont know which one to get. It would have to depend on my swing speed, right?

I would go demo some clubs that have the 5 and the 5.5 in a 6 iron and get a feel for your swing. It's a pretty hot shaft now and most stores and golf courses probably have them

Thanks for the advise. I just hit some Callaways with 5.5 shafts. I felt a slight difference.

I think that I still need to hit 5.0 shafts. I believe that with my 4-7 irons, i swing alot slower because they are small blades and I must make smooth contact. Swinging so slow, I need a regular flex. I need to try those shafts!
