I was at the Golf Galaxy in Rockville, MD (great store btw) and I hit a x-hot driver and rbz stage 2 driver. I can say that I loved the x-hot. As a high handicapper I loved the fact that the ball always seemed to go straight. Now I just need to decided on irons. What are a nice set of irons for a beginner golfer and high handicapper?

Take a look at Golf Magazines review for 2013 game improving irons.

I would recommend the Mizuno JPX-825 Irons. But everyone has a different swing and opinion. You need to just spend the afternoon with a professional at your local store and hit as many clubs as you can. Take your golf shoes and your glove and get ready to hit more balls than you would at the range.

Good hunting and good luck!!

I switched to the JPX 825 about a month ago and could not be more pleased. The feel is great and they look great too. They are not just for higher handicap players at all. I can easily see me playing these these sticks into a single digit handicap (hopefully next year!). But the answer is go and hit them... And as many others a suit your eye.

XHot Irons ... has all the technological whiz bang with the ultra thin face without needing a slot.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
