What do you think of OS (oversized) clubs ? Will they be good for amateur golfer, or i should buy normal blades ? I've read on many forums that OS are better for amateurs because of larger clubhead, and because of that easier shots, but maybe i should go straight to blades and just spend lots of time by practising ?

Thanks for any advices ;)

P.S this is one of my first posts so please correct any of my mistakes ;)

P.S #2 and sorry for bad topic ( the "technique" word)

I think oversize are for those that can't hit the ball with anything else.

Definitely not for you if that's your picture. Buy used and make a split set. Blades for the short irons and game improvement for the mid and long irons. Work your way into blades on the mid irons to keep frustration at a bearable level.

All cavity backs - too many too list, just stay away from the ones with really big faces or that look like a mini-hybrid (sausage)

This link will get you started.

Titlist AP1 for 4-6-7

Blades 8- and up  (Hogan Radials or Directors if you can find them)

Other's will recommend something completely different.

So study Maltby!

I think the only way to buy that set is to buy club by club ( im in poland, golfing here is not that popular, only few shops across the whole country), but that will end with spending too way too much money :/ But i will try, thanks for help :)

EDIT: And will Titleist AP2 be good instead of AP1 ? 'Cuz i found only the ap2

AP2's are good too. Your question is like "Help me find a car."  There are so many to choose from.

What you need to do is go to where you can hit different clubs.

For blades - the older ones are dirt cheap in the USA. Especially on E-bay.

    • 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.
