I am new, real new, bought a garbage pair of Alien clubs to see if id stick out this golf thing. Im sold. Replaced the drive with a SUMO 5900, pure spin wedges that i love, and know exatly what putter and woods im gonna get. I am blown away by the performance of the 5900 and im set on nike irons. Only thing im stuck on is the choice between the SUMO irons and the 4D's. My iron game is slowly improved, but im built for power, not finese, so the short game is lacking, and ball striking is inconsistent as all hell. I found a used set of 4d's on global golf for under 300 with shipping. Anyone want to chime in and give a clueless newb some advice.

Not sure there is a perfect answer here. The Sumo irons (especially the set with hybrids) are going to be easier to hit in the short term because they are really designed to be very forgiving. However, the 4D is also a forgiving set but will also be a bit more versatile going forward. I think the ideal set for you would be to get the 4D, then replace at least the longest club (which I think is a 4 iron in that set) with a hybrid. The best thing to do is just to try both sets and see which one you like the look, feel and sound of best (plus price).

yea im def leaning towards the 4D's, the set i have no has a 3 and 4 hybrid that arent too bad. i swung the 4d's and really liked them, but than again, dont think i know what good is really.

I'd say replace the 3-5 irons with some older Nikes. The CPR and Slingshot are both good, and relatively inexpensive.

    • 39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips. 
    • Day 11: Worked on putting with the metronome
    • I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2! 
    • Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas
    • Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
