I'd just spend some quality time with your new clubs at a driving range. After you get used to them and are hitting them consistently, take notes on the distance you hit each club. Any new set of clubs would cause this problem.

I golfed nine holes today after work and I shot a 46, I basically took a club higher for every hit compared to what I was hitting with my previous set. As for comparing the lofts on the clubs, I could not find the specs on the internet for my original set of clubs but when you put the same club side by side you can tell the difference. Maybe the john daly were lower in loft than your average set of clubs, the slogan on the box said something like grip it and rip it.

Anyways I hit the clubs a lot more solid today and feel like I will adjust fine, I still was not getting the distance back on my irons but I will just have to adjust that part of my game.

The higher ball flight could also be related to a lower center of gravity with the new clubs compared to the old.

So now I am stuck, I want to use my old irons but I don't want to piss the wife off. Should I stick it out with the adams clubs or risk the wife finding out that I am not using her gift to me?

LOL,,,,One thing my wife knows in our 16 years together is to not buy golf equipment for me without my prior approval!

I buy my clubs, she slaps a ribbon on it, and were both happy! Good luck though, it's a tough position, you don't want to tick off the wife!

Be a man and don't worry about what your wife thinks!

Awesome! Glad they are starting to work out.

I was thinking the same thing. +1 here.

You're either:

or d) soon to be single.

I really think it takes the average golfer quite some time to adjust to a new set of irons. Just keep playing with them, you'll be fine.

Nope, I'm neither.

I've been happily married for nearly 18 years and I'm certainly no fool. Surely your wife is intelligent enough to understand that it's not disrespectful or an insult to use the equipment that works best for you. If she can't understand that then she must be very young and naive.

you could try telling your wife how much you love that she bought you clubs but they just aren't working for you, etc. etc. but....

Chances are that you are going to experience the same thing with most any other set of clubs. Newer clubs are designed to be more forgiving. As one poster said, the center of gravity of the club could be giving you more loft. Newer clubs are designed to help players get the ball in the air.

Sell the Adams on eBay.....Buy her a diamond ring and some flowers with the money...Then...One Night Over Dinner!
Tell her that your clubs were stolen out of your car at the range. Tell her you were so distraught about losing such a special gift that you bought her something to make up for it. Then present the ring. Problem Solved!

There's absolutely NO WAY that I would try this! I just thought you could try it for the rest of us and let us know how you get on?

You wouldn't be able to buy a very good diamond ring for the selling the clubs I got.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
