I have been playing golf for about 10 months with this set of irons and about a 25 handicap now.  I have started to hit these clubs very well.  I want to buy a new set of iron within the next few months.  I wanted some help to see what i should upgrade to.  I see alot of good things about the ap2 and ap1.  Im thinking about getting a set of dci 990s or 690cb. I dont really want a set of pure game improvement irons i plan to keep the next set of irons I buy for at least a few years. So I want something that will still be playable when my handicap gets lower and swing gets better.

Trust me. Please wait until you miss hit every club almost the same way. THEN go and get fitted by a professional. THEN buy a set of second hand clubs that match your new swing, or have the second hand clubs adjusted. Your swing has many changes to encounter. Then you will want to upgrade from your second set of clubs. Be patient. Don't waste money (like I did when I first started). I suggest you wait 6 months at the very least. Keep playing. There are many discoveries (ah hah moments) that you will encounter along the way. Be patient, don't switch clubs yet.

It most likely wont be for a few months but a while back I lost my 6 iron. So now I have some cheap replacement with a graphite shaft that I bought from a pawn shop. when looked up just buying that one club for my set it cost like 50 bucks if I could even find it at the time when I had the money for it. I have seen I could get a set of 690.cb for like 150 bucks. So I wanted to get those in a couple months so I would have uniform set for a couple of years.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
