been golfing on and off for along time. not the most studious of my set of clubs...just wanting to improve as a player and overall just play better, score better, breaking 80 consistently etc...

my friend just this weekend pointed out my clubs ...i'm hitting the titleist 990 dci's. too small and for single handicappers. so he mentioned that i should be playing with oversized irons...to better my ball striking etc...and just get that confidence back of ball striking.

i went online and there's a gazillion different choices. i wanted to see if you guys can point out some good oversized irons. he uses the mizuno oversized ...he's a 2 handicapper and just hits the ball beautifully everytime.

anyways...i'm looking for a set...preferrably used...not into spending hundreds $$$$ right now...just something used to test them out to see if it really can improve with my ball striking.

any suggestions would be helpful...thanks!

I'd take time, save money and get a new set of irons fitted to you.  There are lots of choices.  It is difficult.  Oversize is an interesting choice of words.  I think you mean game improvement, or more forgiving.

If you're getting more serious about golf, it's time to get some irons which really fit you.

You show an 8 HDCP, so you must be doing something right. This begs the question, what are the qualifications of your 2 HDCP friend? Just because he plays well doesn't mean he's automatically a good game coach for you. I especially wonder about the oversize remark.

Read up on club models irons to get some idea of what you want in an iron. Then, find a good golf shop and test out your short list of irons.

thanks for the tips guys.

the last time i kept an index i was an 8...that's my benchmark imo...however lately i've been going out and shooting above that and on a good struggling day and fighting for a descent score i can keep it in my low 80s.

i guess what i mean by 'oversize' is the face of the club being 'larger' than my 990 DCI's. the difference between his clubs and mine were insanely different.

i'm going to go to roger dunn's here in LA today to see what i can do with my irons for a new set.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
