I have a dilemma. I am 25 now. I played competitively in highschool and continued playing until 5 years ago. Handicap was down to a 7. Havent played in 5 years but want to start up again. Ive been to the driving range 5 or 6 times and it feels like i never quit playing, still making solid contact and hitting them straight. went to roger dunn and tried out the burner 2.0 superfast woods and irons, the razr woods and irons, and the titleist irons.

hit the burners ridiculously well and LONG, hit the razrs solid, and had some luck with the ap2. all things being equal, what irons will serve me good now and as i start to play more, and better.

I murdered the ball with the burner 2.0 driver but all the options on the razr have me questioning whether or not to go with the burner or razr.

opinions?

i want to get clubs that will last me a few seasons and appreciate all of your help


You can't go wrong with an of those clubs. Its all about what you like looking down at, and what makes you feel confident. I personally like the Taylormade woods over the Callaways, but only due to looks. As far as irons go, I would get a nice set of cavity backs with shafts that fit you. Same for the woods. Make sure that you are hitting the right shafts.


Burners are only long because they're standard to a stronger degree than other clubs. ie. their 7 iron is like a normal 6 iron

Take that into account.

And they're longer in total length than everyone else, too boot (a Taylormade trademark, to sell distance).  It sounds like you have pretty good hand-eye coordination, as that extra length and lower loft isn't hurting you like it would the average golfer.  But all things being equal, there won't be much difference between any of them, so it comes down to what you like to see at address, hear at impact ("feel" is interrelated to sound, and is different for everyone) and that the new sticks are properly fitted.  Brand doesn't matter- that's a personal choice.

    • Maybe not different but more concise and with data to better explain the issue. I think it aids both the instructor and student as it can be interpreted as technical as each person wants. 
    • Day 320: worked on putting with the yardstick drill for a while. Checked set up in the mirror as well, and it was pretty solid. 
    • Truer words have never been spoken, as I am seeing tonight 😅. I hope my ignorance did not come across as arrogant… Definitely true, however there was also a pro present, albeit not trained in GEARS specifically as would be necessary. I am certainly learning a lot (as I hoped I would). I am not here to challenge the accuracy or significance of any data, as I did find it interesting how it objectively showed my swing. What I am wondering is if an expert teacher trained in GEARS was shown a swing with and without GEARS, would the pro come to a different conclusion using GEARS versus "traditional methods," genuinely curious.
