I have a set of taylormade r7 draw uniflex irons that is only 5 months old and in excellent condition.

I was looking for forged irons that is more workable than my r7s. I found used titleist 755 forged with PX high launch 6.0 on ebay about $112 including shipping.

Would you recommend selling my r7 draw irons and buy titleist 755?

I hit my 8 irons 140~150 (avg 145) and avg 20 handicap with avg slope rating course. I think the trajectory is too high with my r7.

I have been playing golf for 5 months. Is it good idea to practice with irons that are harder to hit? Or should I just stick with my r7s.

Good question.  The 755's will definitely bring the ball flight down, different shaft, different head.  Hard to go wrong for 112 bucks.  I think if you are trying to get better, it can't hurt to practice with clubs that are less forgiving.  And those heads are still pretty forgiving across the board.  But the con is I think those shafts might be a little too stiff, 6.0 is just shy of an X flex.  Project X 5.5 or S300 would be better

    • Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.

    • Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on. 
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
