So I've been playing golf off and on since high school 10 years ago.  I broke my leg and stopped playing for two years sold everything, then this winter I got the itch again.  I got a set of Titleist 735 cm's, Titleist 907D1 driver and 906F fairway woods.  I was at the golf store today and was hitting some different drivers.  My best current drive is around 270 and with the new driver I hit a few out at 285  (without a fitting) so I know I'm loosing distance and control.  I'm gonna go ahead and get a new driver fitted with the right shaft for me.  My real question is about my irons.  I'm a decent player, shot even over 9 holes today (best since I've came back), and I was hitting some different irons a lot further on the launch monitor than my current ones.  I'm a titleist guy and need a little more forgiveness so I was thinking the Ap1's or 2's.  I just don't know if it's worth it dropping a lot of money on new irons.  I'm happy with my 3 and 5 wood, I'm hitting my 3 wood out over 250 sometimes.  My current 7 iron I hit maybe 160 and I was trying a couple different ones and on the monitor it said 170 or 175.  As those number reliable?  What other irons should  I be looking at that may be cheaper than the AP's.

Try Callway pre owned, they have alot of high quality used clubs. The Razr line is really good and there is a club for everyperson. AP1 is great but i wouldnt say $999 great, but you are a titleist guy so you are in a different mindset. Ping G15, G20, i15, i20 are also really good.

Wrong, AP1s don't sell for $999. AP2s do because they are forged.

You can get AP1 710s for around $400. Stick with Titleist!

    • Congrats! Day 551, May 6, 2024 Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY hitting irons only and playing the white tees. No really "bad" shots, and a few really, really good ones. Finished on nine (they send us off 10 in May) with… a 197-yard 5I uphill and an 84-yard sand wedge to three feet.
    • Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"
    • @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
