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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
