So I just made an appointment for an iron fitting next week.

I played golf for 2 years about 5 years ago, and just got back into it at the end of last year.      I have taken a few lessons to correct an over the top swing, and some days feel my swing has greatly improved (although has a long way to go, and is still not the most consistent).

I started the end of last year and this year with callaway x20's, and felt that they were to flat of a lie, because I would always have plastic from the mats on the toe of the clubs.  So about two months ago I traded them for burner 2.0s.  I do not like the burners at all.  My ball flight seems really really high, and they just don't feel right, I seem to hit the ball way back on the heel.

I now realize that always hitting the toe on the ground was likely from my over the top swing.

Anyways that was just a brief history, I don't know my handicap, but shoot a horrible average of 50 to 55 on 9 holes.  I use to be in the 90's for 18 when I first started years ago.

I enjoy the game, try to get out at least once a week, and go to the range almost everyday.

Any suggestions on what irons I should make sure to try?

Any chance you can get the X20s back and bent 2* upright? The X20s are bendable.

Focus, connect and follow through!

No I traded them in.

Rookie mistake,  " Oh look at these pretty new irons, I bet I can hit the ball better with these."

They did feel good when I was swinging them inside on the monitor, but now that I have the burner's, they just don't feel right.

Live and learn, but I now know I will never buy clubs with out hitting them outside first.

I will give some of the new callaways a try at the fitting, along with many others I hope.

I had thought about getting them bent when I had them, but was worried it was my over the top swing that made me hit the toe on the ground.

Again, live and learn

    • That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do. 
    • This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!
