I've already posted a couple times, so I figured I'd make it official and say Howdy Y'all!

I'm in the Houston area and I just started to take this game a little more serious lately. I've been playing since I was 15 and that makes it 28 years ago that I started. I have no idea what handicap I am, but I normally shoot say...108ish? My best round was an 88 about 10-15 years ago but life got in the way and I'm way out of practice.

I got the wife interested in playing and she's had a few lessons and she's still interested. She drags me to the range and wants to hit our Almost Golf Balls in the yard all the time.

Got my new Taylormade R7 Draw Irons, a Burner Draw driver, Burner Rescue hybrid 19*, Wilson Staff 3 wood (which I love), 50* Cleveland Wedge and a White Hot #9 putter. I'm ready to read the reviews, grab some tips, shot the breeze and get better at this game.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
