nice article. this of course is only an opinion. I agree with it, but that is my opinion. what I am trying to say is that no matter who is giving advice on picking out a club, it is a matter of opinion. nothing more. sure, you would take tiger woods opinion a lot more serious than your friend who just started golf last month, but it is still just an opinion. everyone is different.

my cousin has been playing for like a year now. well, once a week at the range. anyway, he bought some forged players irons right from the get go. I gave him advice on a iron to buy (GI) but he decided to go with some mizuno irons. he would hit 50% of shots well, and 50% bad. I helped out with his game quite a bit and he improved to about 80% good shots. within a few months too. well, long story short, he is keeping his mizuno's and now has bought some r9 irons. GI clubs. he told me he just wanted something more forgiving. no real moral to the story, just that people will play what they want because it is ultimately up to them.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
