Proper launch angle

[Spike McTee]

Hi guys !

I wonder if I could get a little help from the board as to what I should be looking for as

optimum launch angle for a seven iron ,maybe spin rate as well . I have been mulling over

purchasing a new set of sticks this spring and plan to use the simulator at Golf Town as a

benchmark in comparing the list of clubs I am considering . I have never been fit for clubs

before but will try and have this done after I narrow down the list of contenders .

I have been playing golf for 14 years now (started late at 32) and this will be my third set

of clubs in that period . My first set was a complete starter set, Mizuno Altron , which I was

mostly happy with for a while but the woods were poor and I spent my money upgrading the

Driver, 3 wood, putter,and wedges .About 5 years ago I bought a used set of Tarlor Made

Burner Tour Irons. They are basically a blade I think . They have stiff rifle shafts and I play

them well for the most part. The reason I am thinking of a change is that I seem to be

struggling more and more with my long irons (3,4,5) and think I could benefit from added

forgiveness here , I am not ready to go with hybrids because I like to play a lot of different

type of shots out of different situations and don't want to relearn with hybrids.

The short list of sticks I am going to try out . Mizuno mx300,Titleist AP1,Callaway Diablo forged,

Taylormade R9,Mizuno JPX800pro. If any reading this would care to comment on the pros or

cons of the clubs listed I would appreciate that as well .

Anyway thanks in advance for any help or tips ,

Mike
