looking for new clubs.

[achadha7]

Yet again on the hunt for new clubs. I play once a week shoot mid 90's.I have shortlisted the taylormade rbz hp 4- sw and callaway xhot 4-sw. I don't use a driver, woods or a hybrid. Which one would you recommend ? The tm is abt $150 cheaper (on sale)

[WUTiger]

Test out the two and go with the one you can hit best. If you can't hit or don't like the TMs, the $150 less is not a good deal.

Any reason why you don't have a driver, fairway wood or  hybrid?

[achadha7]

I do have a driver n fairway in my current set but the shaft is toooo flexible and I always slice the ball. I have tried other drivers and fairways and hit it reasonably well. With the current irons on a perfect tee shot the 5 iron goes a good 200+ and straight

[achadha7]

So I checked out the clubs on the course. Regular flex steel shafts and it was SLICE HEAVEN. Hitting with my regular clubs the ball was straight. Any clue why ? Could it be that I need to try out a stiff shaft ?

If you are hitting a 5 iron 200 yards, I would definitely go with a stiff flex.

Any views on nike covert vr_s

I recently tried the coverts. I thought the top line was a little thick and the overall head weight was a little heavy for me. I did however like the feel of them. I ended up not buying them and went with another set. The bottom line is you need to test the clubs and be properly fitted.

[achadha7]

Assuming you cant get fitted and the stores just give you a 6 iron to test .... where would you test ? Range or the course?

Both!

Tried out the rbz, rocketblades, x hot and covert vr_s Rbz steel stiff shaft it is. Tried out a couple of drivers. Xhot, r9, r11, rbz and stage 2. I sucked at all of em but r9 was the best. Sold my current set and ordered the rbz. Now begins the wait. What are your suggestions on drivers ? Also the rbz comes with pw at 45 deg and sw at 55 deg. Is that too big a gap ?

You should be able to get the RBZ irons in any configuration if a dealer is ordering them for you.  I ordered my RBladez set with #4 and 5 hybrids and 6-PW-AW irons.  I really like the PW - AW that complement my 54 and 58* wedges. Have everything covered for the shots 110 and closer.

Unfortunately here in india the market isn't that developed n they come as regular sets all you can customize is lie ans shaft stiffness. Moreover I am not a hybrid fan :) but the 10 deg gap is worrying

[CamoCladWarrior]

There is a bit of a gap there. A gap wedge would fill the gap. Although I know many players who don't carry one and just learn how to control the ones they do have. I just added a gap to my bag and am loving it so far

[achadha7]

Any thoughts on the r9 super tri with a stiff shaft

I think the RBZ's are a great deal now for under $300.   I especially like the HP version much better than the darker finish when they first came out.      I'd buy them without even thinking about it if I needed new irons... with the money you save pick up a 3 hybrid or 5 wood of your choice.      Can't go your entire golfing life without playing any woods (I guess you could), they're probably the most fun clubs to hit - don't give up on them, work your way back into using them gradually...

Am getting the hp version. Still deciding on woods and rescue. Any suggestions on what clubs to try ? Driver is decided r9 super tri. I know its old but oh well that is what felt the most comfortable. Clubs shud be here tuesday :)

I have always had issues hitting fairway woods but I recently picked up a cobra baffler t rail 5 wood. It is a good fairway wood. I hit the ball low and can really get this one up and can keep it on line
