Titleist DCI 990

[nuck81]

My pops was a close to scratch Golfer and won some new Titleist DCI 990 in a corporate tournament. He played on them for about a year but passed away in an accident almost two years ago. I inherited his bag and antique club collection and decided to pick up the game. I tried to teach myself but wizened up and decided to take regular lessons of which I;ve had two so far.

My question is, should I ride out the DCI 990's or find a good GI set to improve on. I have good carry and make fairly consistent contact even with the big swing and grip change my teacher introduced.. I have replaced the lower irons in my bag for some hybrids. I'm sort of torn, If I tough it out and learn on the 990's to where I hit those great I know I'll be a stronger player in the long run, but the immediate improvement that a GI club represents is awfully attempting.

Any Thoughts?

The 990s were a good set of irons. You'd enjoy a game-improvement club for the time being, and there are several options out there (Clevelend cg7, Cobra FP2, TM Burner, Ping G15) that will provide forgiveness now with a ton of room for growth.

If you've got the money and the desire to improve, go see a club fitter and have him look at your setup with the 990s and try a few demo irons. I'd keep the 990s around though. When your swing improves and you want the look and feel of a players club, they are a great choice.

Thanks for the advice, much apprectiated.

What of the Callaway X-22's? I don't want to spend too much since I know I've got the 990's waiting for me. I'll never get rid of Pop's clubs, so that's not a worry.

I'm not adverse to getting Clones either as I figure they only need to last a few years, and I can always pass them on to my brother...
