To give a little context to my question I'll briefly explain my golfing skills. I shoot about 65-70 in 9 holes so I guess my handicap is ~70? I'm not really sure how that is calculated. I have probably played about 20 games of golf in my life spaced over the last 15 years. It's very enjoyable to me and I want to start playing more so I think I should buy some newer clubs. Most of my clubs came in a set from Walmart about 7-8 years ago. They are Dunlop. The 6-p, however, is a System Q. A guy I worked with a long time ago helped me put the heads on my Dunlop shafts, but I don't remember where they came from. They are wide at the bottom and kind of hollow shaped. Like a |__|. I hit those well (by my standards). I want to replace the rest of my iron heads with something easy to hit now. I have been looking at the GolfWorks website and it looks like good stuff. I am considering the KE4 and the Glider. What do you uys think?

I've recently begun test driving a few GolfWorks clubs, largely out of my desire to get into club building (as a hobby; I'm not changing professions). I haven't tried the Gliders, but Maltby himself plays the Glider-Xs, so I imagine they're good clubs. I've been giving the KE4s a try, in part due to that they have a great cost and allow me to experiment very easily with swing weight. I think they feel pretty good and I know they're plenty forgiving. I know I've hit a few bad shots on the course with them that should have put me in trouble, and I instead was left with a good look at birdie. Plus, GolfWorks has their "free custom assembly" (for club packs) offer going on now, and they're packaged with FST shafts - not a bad choice. By the way, read up on how handicaps are calculated: http://golf.about.com/cs/handicapping/a/howcalculated.htm

    • We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
