Ok, so I'm 6'5" and looking for new irons.

I'm 15, so don't have lots of cash.

I like golf, learning to love it, and plan on doing it the rest of my life.

Anyway, I think the reason I dont do so well is in part because of the clubs I use, specificly the irons, considering they are probably 2" short. They are my dad's dunlop's. They're not bad, just short.

I'm looking at any new clubs under or at $400

Just need some advice on companys, used or new, if clones are ok, etc.

Anything would help!!! Thanks

I know I give this advice a lot on these forums, but when I first started I played with Taylor Made RAC OS2 irons. They helped a lot. They are about 3 years old now, so you can get them for cheap - they are perfect for just starting out.

Only problem for you is you're so damn tall, you're going to need to get fitted for sure because you will need longer shafts, now doubt about that.

Are you done growing? Have you talked to your Doctor about how tall he thinks you'll get? 6'5" at 15 years of age is pretty insane, considering most guys don't stop growing until about 18.

great site for pre-owned clubs, I'd recommend the X series (x-14 and up depending on how much money you want to spend).

Or maybe you should spend your time playing basketball :)

My gear:

Check out some Hireko irons. You can get them customized to fit you for a very affordable price.

Yeah, they are pretty nice clubs - I was in a similar situation as you a few years ago, being 15, just starting out, not too much money to spend, etc. but with you being 6'5" make sure you get fitted because trying to play with something off the shelves is going to slow your progress.

I'd look at the Adams A3OS http://www.greatgolfdeals.com/adams-...hannelid=FROOG --the shafts are longer than standard--thus might be a good choice for you.
Considering that you are 6'5'', you should get fitted.

    • Sorry, mistyped. My mind went rounds = tournaments, lol.  No, I thought 20-28 tournaments. Probably closer to 28 than 20. 
    • You think Rory only has 5-7 competitive major tournaments left in his career!!??  I strongly disagree with that. He's only 35. I think he'll be competitive in at least like 20+ more majors.
    • I was just thinking about this. 60 majors played in since 2010. 42% of them top 10 finishes. 22% top 5 finishes. My goodness, 9 straight top 10 finishes at the US Open, regarded as the toughest course set up for the Majors. WTH!  That is different than jacked, so no.  No, it doesn't. It is tough to win majors. He is in rare company by winning the career grand slam.  It is much tougher to win majors in the 2010+ years than it was prior.  Look at the most majors list. If you cut it off at 5+ majors. There are 21 golfers ever to have 5+ majors. 17 of them won their first major prior to 1987.  Maybe you could say he should have two more if things go his way. I don't think he should be near 10 or anything like that. 5 is reasonable at this point. He is tied for 15th ever. He probably has like 20 to 28 more competitive major rounds in him.  Maybe in like the short term yes, but he would have gotten used to it in short order. He is a world class athlete in the golfing world. His ability to feel his golf swing is nearly unmatched. To say that him getting a bit bigger in 2014 has impacted him over the next 11 years, without him just figuring it out is really an absurd statement.  Tiger Woods changed his swing like 3x and was elite. He got bigger, not jacked, and was elite.  We are not talking about Olympic weightlifters here, or jacked body-builders. FYI, doing weightlifting through a full range of motion gives you more flexibility. Do you want to know who can get into the deepest squats in the world, people with gigantic legs, the Olympic weightlifters. Want to know who can't get down into a deep squat, lazy people who don't work out.  Could muscle mass as the "extreme" side of things cause some interference in a particular golf motion, sure. Rory isn't even close to being that size.  Yea, it could be mental. Sometimes you just need to get over the hump again even though you have 4 majors in your pocket. You only get 4 chances a year at this. You have to be on your game to have a chance on Sunday. So, for the stars to align for him to have the chances to even learn from his mistakes is not that much. Being T-5, 6 strokes back and not having that pressure on the Sunday is not a learning experience on how to close out a tournament. It makes sense why it could take this long. Also, he is playing against other good golfers. Sometimes, the best golfers in the world get beat. Nope, it isn't. I would agree it was loss of confidence or nerves, plus other golfers just taking it from him than it being related to him working out. I am actually willing to say, it is 0.0000000000000000000000001% related to him working out. So, round that off to ZERO!  Let's not play the victim card here.  He wasn't able to bomb it 330 yards prior to 2014 because he was a kid who still had baby fat on him.  Look at the rolling 10 round average since he started. It looks pretty typical. Lots of ups and downs because you can't be on all the time. Even back in 2014, he never really had a 10 round average were his stroke's gained approach was negative. If you say his size causes him issues, then there should be something crazy here. The dips in 2014 on look the same. Did he have some early year crazy spikes, sure. Sometimes a golfer catches fire for a year. There are things call outliers for a reason.  So, this is probably why you started this. You dislike Rory and want to wish it into existence that he would never win another Master.  Again, you are not the victim here, so stop these self-deprecating comments to try to buy some sympathy.
