When I started playing this amazing game I had a VERY VERY old set of MB mixed clubs and real WOOD woods. I got down to a 4.5 handicap with this set of irons and woods playing jr. golf. For X-mas one year my parents took me to get a new set of clubs and the sales person talked me into getting a set of Cavity Backs that were oversized. After this purchase my handicap went through the roof and the quality of my game went down hill fast, I believe my handicap went up to a 12 or 13 in the matter of a year. The only thing that stayed the same or maybe improved was my short game (wedges and putting). Does this make any since at all to anyone? I'm now 22 and thinking about getting back into tournament golf as I am now back down to about a 10 handicap and was just wondering if I should invest in some new MB irons in hopes that it will improve my game again.

thanks

I dont know how much time you spent with the new clubs, going from an older set of irons to the cavity backs, I would think you would need some time to get use to the look and feel of the irons. Just for grins, do you still have that old set, if so, how do you hit them?

      Day 575 - 2026-04-29 Well, shit. (Not golf related.) Did some "expert witness" stuff today, and talked with some developers about a UI/UX thing for two hours. At various times throughout the day I grabbed the putter in my office and did some downswing work.

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.
