. . .Just got the new CGB Max irons from Taylor Made with the Black Steel shafts. They are very forgiving and as advertised, allow you to hit the ball higher. They were advertised that they would increase your distance but I seem to be not hitting the ball as far with these as I did with my real old graphite shafts! Not sure why except that I'm almost 60. . .maybe that's it!!

. . ."Commit to each shot. . .and believe"!!

I play with Wilson Staff's di7. A game improvement iron that has been easy to hit. Since I retired, my handicap has been dropping. Practice does help. Tempted to give the pi7's a try.

For the past 7 or so years I have been playing with Titleist 981's with regular flex steel shaft. My dad just gave me his set of 755's so I just put them in my bag but haven't hit them yet. They look very similar to me so hopefully it will be a smooth transition.

I currently use a set of 8 year old Maxfli Revolution irons. I still like them after all these years. Maybe next year I will get a new set. I say that every year though.

All my clubs (except the putter) are from Golfsmith. I have built all my clubs for the last 10 years. I think I would go crazy if I wasn't able to tinker with my golf course weapons. I have consistently compared everything in my bag with the brand name "big boys" and have never come away disappointed with Golfsmith products.

My putter is my own design (I have many). I have my own milling machine so I get to put my thoughts and ideas into a physical product. The one currently in my bag is a high MOI mallet with 1/2 degree negative loft with groves on the face similar to Yes and Guerin Rife putters. All my putters are within the rules of golf but have not been sent in to the USGA. So for tournaments I use a store bought blade.

I have 3 sets of clubs that I use with some regularity, but I am now starting to lean toward one more than the others. I have 2 sets of Cleveland irons. I have the TA1's and the TA6's. The TA6's were the first set of irons I bought when I got into the game, and really worked well for me for a while. I also had a set of i3's, Eye 2's, and G2's that I used, but didn't really fall in love with any of those. My third set of irons that I use with regularity are Mizuno T-Zoid True's.

Of the TA1's, TA6's, and True's, I'm beginning to lean toward the True's. I get a little more distance with the TA1's, and I like the feel of the TA1's a little better, but I like the look of the True's at address, I like the ball flight I get with them, and I'm a tad bit more consistent with the True's than the TA1's. All 3 are excellent sets of clubs, but I felt that the forgiveness of the TA6's was hindering my game more than anything by training me to mis-hit the ball because they're so forgiving. I love my blades.

I switch back and forth between...
Ping s59's and forged Wilson Staff Goosenecks (circa 1984)...
I hit the forged goosenecks about 10 yds further per club...and with more elevation.
I hit both with a slight draw...with my normal swing.
I can shape the shots with either...

Just took out the Titleist Ap1 irons after 2 weeks and replaced them with the Callaway FT irons. Just liked the feeling better but not the price of $1200 ouch! The FT's actually have more of a players feel with a narrower sole and slightly thinner topline. The AP2 irons would have been a better fit than the AP1's for me.

I switched from the Hogan Apex Edge which has a little more offset and a bigger head than what I use now. I also wanted Graphite since I had wrist, right hand and back issues last summer.

I switched to the Mizuno MX-900s which work for me. I wanted maximum game improvement to help me play.
