I want to know what is the best Driver and iron set available at this time.

I think the best irons are the Callaway Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons.

I currently have Mizuno MP-60s and I want to get better clubs because I feel it will improve my game.


My driver is the Titleist 907 D2 and I feel this club is getting old and i can use an upgrade also, I just do not know what driver is the best on the market.

If you are truly a .2 handicap I'd expect the pro you are working with to be the best source of information. At that level, the club itself is trivial and fit is essential. This is something that average hackers such as myself cant do over the interwebs.

There's no objective "best club". There may be a best club for you, but you have to go demo different clubs to find out.

A ridiculous question and one which would certainly never be asked by a person with a .2 handicap. More likely someone who's been playing for 6 weeks. IF you were a single figure golfer you would know that after a point it's about technique, not equipment. But, clearly, you aren't a .2, so you can be like all the other fools who think that then most heavily promoted clubs are "the best".

How could you possibly think that there is an objectively "best" club on the market. What is "best" for you may not be close to best for another. But....FYI, when NIck Faldo didn't have a club sponsorship, he played with MP-60s, your current set, and said that they were the best irons he'd ever hit. So, I don't think your game will suffer if you persevere with them.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

POS is an acronym (piece of sh**).

It was sarcasm. You already have some of the "best irons available". Doesn't mean they work for you, but your handicap seems to back that up.

The idea of someone with a handicap that low asking which clubs are "the best" is ludicrous.

I would bet that if you asked 500 touring pros and 5000 teaching pros which clubs are "the best', not a single one would say anything other than "the ones that suit YOU best".

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

After a burnt offering, tribal dancing and an afternoon of meditation the golf equipment gods have now proclaimed the mp-60 the greatest true players iron ever forged. Consider yourself fortunate and your question complete.

Excellent!

Now the OP can focus on buying the "best ball", and then move on to acquiring the "best tees".

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
