I have a set of Callaway Big Bertha 2006's 4-gap that i am trying to sell so I can purchase a set of Callaway X-Tours, or Nike Forged, which one do you think i should go with?

do you have them listed in the market place? Share with the other kids in the clkass if you are selling.

I'm a Mizuno MP-33 guy. With the right shafts they are very playable.

I have a set of Titleist 690 cb and I love them, although I have been looking at the 755's lately and the review on this site is making me want it more. used to use Mizuno mx23 nice clubs too. There is nothing like a properly fitted set....sweet when you hit it right

Mizuno MX-25's.

With my limited golf history, these have been the best clubs for me. Very forgiving with a great feel.

The Titleist 755's are a nice set of irons. The guy i bought my 735's from (he had them for about 2months & needed to upgrade to the 755's so i got his 735's for a bargain price $500 AUD) he gave me a go with the 3 iron and the 6 iron there less forgiving than the 735's but go much better than the 735's on pure shots.

If you are not sure whether you should use blades, you probably aren't ready. Even scratch golfers benefit from the newer designs of the cavity back irons like the 695CB or Mizuno's or Callway XTour's. Unless you are just smoking every iron on the sweet spot, blades don't make much sense. Most newer cavity backs have the thinner top line look that the blades do and forged irons have a ton of feel with the forgiveness that muscle backs don't have.

I have to disagree....

Try a few blade sets out. The technology has come a long way for these also. Nevermind your handicap. It goes along with ball striking. Some 8 handicappers strike the ball great and have a bad short (scoring) game. I love the muscle back blades, and the workability is so mush easier then a cavity back. I went back and forth with the Mizuno MP60's for about a month. I hit the Nike forged blades better...(even the mis hits seem better????). All you can do is hit everything that appeals to you many times. Not trying to start a war or anything....just try them

TaylorMade Supersteel Burners. Had a used set in 04-05. I loved these irons but they were pretty nicked up so I sold them to buy a new set. Tried some off brand clones that were horrible. Played with Srixon 403Ad's for about 1.5 years. Finally sold the Srixon's and stumbled across Brand New Supersteel's on Ebay (pretty rare considering they were new in 02). I liked the Srixon's, but didn't like the graphite shaft and the Supersteel's are much longer. Easily a full 1-2 clubs longer depending on the shot. They can be had cheap on Ebay if anybody is looking for a quality set of irons in the less than $200 range.

    • I played in an outing a few years ago. The course was wet, and it was windy. We all did bad enough to reward us with a PCC of +1 (If I am remembering this correctly). So all of our differentials went up 1.  So, if that score is part of my best 8 out of 20. That means I am getting 1/8th of a differential improvement. For you to get a PCC, you need enough people submitting their score for handicap during that day. Let's say you were the only person who was submitting the score for handicap, odds are you are not getting a PCC.  Which is fine, because no handicap system can be that nuanced. I don't think you'd want it to be. Still, my statement is correct. It takes into account weather and abnormal difficult conditions. 
    • I’ve been rather surprised how my original question relating to the logic behind “differential vs course handicap” elicited the responses expressed on this thread so far. I suppose it shows that there are many who have given this subject a lot of thought. I personally like the current system for the same reasons stated in the post by saevel25 and it works very well in our league. I just needed to get the reasoning/logic clear in my head so I could explain it succinctly to those who had questions. Regarding the ongoing discussion, the only tweak we make is only the scores made in league competition count. (We don’t use GHIN, we do the calculation ourselves.) The only additional thought I had is perhaps the powers that be can come up with a method, when doing the differential calculation, of giving greater weight to the rounds played more recently than those from 20 rounds ago. I’ve been testing this with an idea I had similar to the way colleges calculate GPA’s based on credits offered by different classes, but honestly, the complexity it adds to the calculation isn’t worth the trouble as any change made has proven to be inconsequential.
