I am currently looking for new irons to buy, however, being left handed hinders me from testing different brands.  I was wondering if what you other lefty's do in this situation.  I'd like to buy a set of cobra irons but nobody ever has them in lefty.

I just purchased a 50 degree mizuno wedge without testing because I needed one and the reviews were good.

Any thoughts ?

It's a pain being lefty.

There is a website dedicated to us, but I do not know anything about the evaluation process.

Ah that's not good. There's gotta be something close that has other brands no? Unless you're tucked away in a remote area?

No I'm located in a good area and every store I go to basically only carries ping and TM as far as Irons go... I can usually find some other drivers but that's it

Come to Canada, they have a lot of lefty-players and lefty clubs! :)

All joking aside, most of the brands I've tested have full sets, right and left, available for testing. Some of the specialty clubs (gap wedge, lob wedge) they don't have, but that's pretty rare.

Driver: :cobra: BiO Cell (10.5º)

Wood: :ping: G15 3 (15.5°)

Hybrids: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 3 (21º), 4 (24º)

Irons: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 5-PW

Wedges: :cleveland:588 RTX CB 50º, Paradise Black Chrome II Sand Wedge 56º

Oh I know lol, I am in Canada :)) And it's true about the lefties, lots of hockey players.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week.

      Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.

      Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence.

      Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.

      180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
