I've been playing my King Cobra Oversized Irons (ala' when Greg Norman was on the PGA tour) for about 15 years (damn where does the time go?). I've changed the shafts from the original steel to Graffaloy ProLogics about 8 years ago.. I play them well but not great. I'm a 12 hdcp, is it time to upgrade or change irons? I've changed everything else in the bag a few times ... even the bag.

I would definitely reccomend trying new irons. There are a lot of reasonably priced options with much more superior technology. But if it turns out you like your old irons best out of what you try, than keep them. Don't be ashamed because they're old. Many guys on tour use irons from the 80's. I would start with a cobra s9 if you want something similar. If you want something smaller, I would reccomend something out of mizuno's mp series.

I'm still rockin the king cobra oversized irons. I still have the original metal shafts and old tour style hand grips. I still like them. I have checked out the new irons and I am not that impressed. I don't think you will gain any by buying new ones, except they will look a little cooler. And your wallet will be a little lighter.

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
