I'm looking to getting my mom some upgraded clubs (she currently uses Honma). She is a 8 handicap and wasn't sure what to get her. I was looking strictly had senior or lady styles... any suggestions?

Pay for a fitting and go with her. Let her pick them out or go with the fitting results.

Basically, if she's a true 8.0 index, that's very good for a female. Anything below 12 is somewhat rare in my experience. She probably has a good idea what works. A much better idea than we would have.

Is she asking for an "upgrade" from her Honma clubs?

No she isn't asking for an upgrade but the clubs are pretty old so I'm thinking she needs an upgrade. We use to live in Japan so for irons, she only had Honma's and Maruman's. I'm wondering if I could open her mind to Tayloremade or Calloway irons.

Good for you to want to get your mom some new sticks. But be sure she is willing to part with the old ones. They could be "old" for a reason. Women are known for attaching emotions to physical things. Well, men are too I guess. But chics seems to do it more from what I can see. As an 8 hcp, I would have her involved in the process.

Good luck with the "Tayloremade" and "Calloway".

hahahaha I finally caught on to my mispelling. Thank you for the humor. I didn't realize that we had a spell check function in our reply box.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
