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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
