Hi Guys,

Though I'd get the ball rolling on this one before I reach my handicap target!

At the start of they year I set myself a target handicap of 18 (currently down to 20). Once achieved, I have promised myself a new set of shiney's as a reward. Ideally looking for a game improvement iron which I could always custom fit to suit my game is need be. Thing is living in Gibraltar (British colony situated at the southern tip of Spain), we dont actually have any places where I could get them custom fitted. I would need to pop over the border to Spain to try and locate such a service.

I currently play the very forgiving Nike Slingshots which have served me well so far however if I am to buy a new game improving set what would you recommend and why?

Warning: I am quite the sucker for Nike!! haha

Thanks all.
p.s. Does anyone know how I can add a list so I can include my equipment within my signature. I know where I need to go however I dont seem to have the option to click "Create New List". Please HELP! Could it be because I an a newbie and therefore I dont have the access to do this? Thanks :)

I was wondering this same thing.  As for a game improvement club.  I recommend checking out the Mizuno JPX-825 Pro irons.  I am currently playing them and love 'em.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
