I picked up the Callaway 08 irons from a coworker last summer. I have recently developed a draw with my driver and irons this season. When I first got the irons last season I hit them strait most of the time. Now I either draw them or hook them. I can't get them consistent and they are holding back the rest of my game.

Does anyone have any tips for me? I was thinking of getting a different set of irons with more feedback, I posted before about this and was told a good player can shoot a good round regardless of the equipment (within reason). Would having a club without a major offset allow me to play the ball with a fade? or at least better control trajectory? Was thinking I could ebay my irons and pick up some mizuno mp57's for a relatively small out of pocket price.

Just quick questions.

1. Are you setting up with a closed face?

2. Do you draw or hook other irons?

I played the 2008 Big Berthas for two years and they are very easy to set up with a closed face. The grip was screwing me up. I changed the grip to a wrapped grip and then all was fine.

    • Shot a +1 73 today. Pretty pleased with the round even though it could have been 3-4 strokes lower without hitting it much different. 1 topped tee shot, a thinned wedge over the green from 40yds, and 2 putts that hung on the lip all could have made this a phenomenal round. 4 birdies total. Had an interesting back 9, 3 birdies, 3 pars, 3 bogeys and a penalty stroke. Birdied 1 and 18 so that was a fun way to start and end the round.
    • Try some Tour Balatas and an Alien wedge….😏
    • Fresh out of the box. Grooves look fine.
    • Day 17 (18 May 24) - after band rehearsal this morning got home to a rainy afternoon so no outside stuff today.  Had some things to tackle in the shop, so I took the time to roll some putts on the rugs in the shop.  Able to work on tempo and distance control as I have a rug that rolls really well…so it makes for some fun work with the putter. 
    • What ball were you using and how fresh are the grooves on your wedges? I practice chip shots with my gamer, and while it's a lower spin ball I'm still able to hit it. Not necessarily the one hop then stop on a dime, but a low one that hops once with a ton of spin and trickles maybe a few feet.
