Hi

Im just starting out golf and needed to buy some irons. I decided to buy them used instead of new as many people recommended doing. I currently practice with a driver and a free burner 2.0 6 iron that I absolutely love(but cant afford)

A guy on craigslist is selling me a

5 Wood-Nike Sumo

4 Hybrid-Nike Sumo
5 Hybrid-Nike Sumo
6 Hybrid-Nike Sumo

and

Nike Sling Shot Irons -2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-PW-GW

all for $220.

Do you guys feel like this is a good deal for a beginner. I already have a nike sumo 5900 driver that I like.

thanks

Yes. If they are in good shape. Those were my second choice last week when I bought new irons. They were going to cost me 300 for just the irons. I say buy them. I would.

The slingshots were my first irons. A good value but, I quickly moved on to other irons. Not that I'm awesome but, they didn't "feel" right as I progressed. Just sayin.

These were also my first irons. I played them for about 9 months before buying my current set. There is just something about the thickness of them that annoyed me (I am sure it had nothing to do with a newbie swing.) I still have an OSS sand wedge that I will throw in the bag if I know a course has real soft sand. I didnt know that they made a 2 iron, I know my set did not include a 3i or sw.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
