I've been going to the golf range for a month now, pretty much 3x a week. I also sneak on to the golf course near where I live and practice every night chipping, putting, long and short irons. My swing is by no means perfect but I can hit the ball a good distance and have a consistant ball flight. I play a set of old irons called Wilson Aggressors http://valueguide.pga.com/detail-exec/brand/2775/product_type/205/model/43444/b/Wilson/p/Iron%20set/m/Aggressor

I know they're old but just don't know how old. They're described as game improvement clubs but when I compare them to modern day game improvement irons they look nothing alike.

Does anyone know anything more about these Wilson Agressor irons?

When at the range I go with my dad who plays with Mizuno MP52's, he lets me use them sometimes and I hit the MP52 irons ( which I think are for better players) even better than my so called game improvement irons.

So the questions I have are:

When it comes time to buying new irons should I stick to game improvement clubs, something like the Titleist AP1 or should I be looking at something that I can use as my handicap goes down like the Titleist AP2's?

Sorry for the long story, hope someone can help. Thanks guys! :)

It's all a matter of preference.  Personally, I like the SGI (Super Game Improvement) irons like Big Berthas, Pings, or Adams.  If you like the feel of yours and hit them consistently, like you mentioned, no real reason to change.  I'd recommend getting some rounds under your belt and go from there.

I have bought and sold a couple (used) sets on ebay until I found a set I liked.

Good luck.

Just go to your local golf store (one that has a launch monitor) and pick out a few clubs that you like and hit them on the monitor and see witch (<~~ lol witch! Gotta love auto correct) one works best for you.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
