I am going to buy a new set of irons as i have the money from christmas.

I went into american golf the day and was looking at the irons. I am going to go in there one day and use the launch monitor and get properly fit.

I was looking at the Titleist 775, titleist 735, TM r7 and TM LT2.

I was wondering has anyone had any good/bad experiences of these clubs? What would you recommend to be the best of a medium ball striker who is looking to improve? Also how do the clubs wear as my last set of clubs have scratches and dig all over them?

I play Titleist 735.CM and they are great! If you play consistently often, it's a great set for you... if you play sporadically, then you might need something more forgiving like the new 755 (which are very long!) or the 704 CB (which in my opinion is almost the identical twin of the new 755 at a cheaper price! I know this because my wife got a set of 704 irons this winter!)
I don't think the 775CB is the right club for you... check these link out (I myself had the same question few weeks ago!)

Well, on Ebay you can find them for cheaper... I saw them also for $300...

sometimes less but you gotta be lucky. 735.CM irons are nice because they provide feel (blade on 8-PW) and forgiveness (cavity back on 3-7)... I am sure they can offer you a great help in going single digit handicap (but you need to practise, otherwise go for the other models 755 or 704)

i registered just to reply to this post :P

I have the RAC LT2 irons and i think they are excellent. they are forgiving like a cavity back but not so forgiving that you dont know you hit a bad shot. however, when you do strike them on the sweet spot, they are long and easy to control. they set up like a blade with a thin top line and invisible sole, and very very slight offset. try them. i think you will like them. :)

I played with the 735's before I went with the LT2's. No doubt they are a good club, but for me they had a harder feel to them than the LT2's and I have always liked a softer feeling club so I went with the LT2's and have been totaly happy with them.

I dont think you could go wrong either way.

Bring on the English iron problems! I'm looking at the 735's and the RAC tp's but they dont have them in american golf...do you know any place where you can try them? Would love some feedback on the two irons! By the way mizuno are also sweet, tried the mp-60's and the mp-67's , the 67's I found felt and peformed better than the 60's, but maybe a little too pro for me, may have to consider the 32's if i can find some. Lt 2's felt ok and perfomed alright but didn't compare to the mizuno's. Hope this help's.

In th UK we get a really rough deal on clubs. Not only are they so much more expensive we have so little choice.

I have been to America and the golf shops are amazing. I walked in and straight away there someone welcoming you and asking if you want to try any clubs. The launch monitors are working and able to give reliable readings. While in the UK in go into american golf and rarely is the launch monitor working and they dont ever have enough staff to give advice and allow you to buy clubs.

Also i want to try the titleist 735, 775, TM R7 TP, TM LT2's and something in the mizuno line yet american golf only has the 735 and the LT2's. This means that i have got to go to another shop to try them out. Although i am going to go try out the clubs and order of the internet. Save on average £100.

Someone needs to get golf shops in the UK in shape, perhaps one day if i got enough money i will open a chain.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By RandallC ·

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
