Hey Y'all,

I recently had a set of Mizuno MP14's and a set of King Cobra Cb6's stolen from my house. I now am in the club searching phase and have come across a couple of sets.

I have a set of Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge irons 3-9 with leather reminder grips and im not positive of the shaft but seem to be like a s300 stiffness with the faces in decent to ok shape

and

a set of Titelist Acushnet 108's 2-PW with golf pride grips and regular steel shafts, but the grips are in terrible condition. the faces are decent

I am not very experienced at golf, and have around a +20 handicap. Which of these sets would make more sense to regrip and in the case of the wilsons probably refinish the heads?

Any help would be appreciated.

PS when i played with my old sets, i preferred playing the mizuno blades and my game was substantially better with them.

I would go with Adams irons as they give more breaks while playing..

First, welcome to The Sand Trap! :beer:

Second, I would personally recommend that you forget that you own either of those second sets that were not stolen. You can definitely pick up a very affordable and decent set of used clubs online though which would definitely benefit you and your game much more. I can confidently say that just due to the significant changes in technology.

I would personally recommend that you check out Global Golf for a set of decent used irons. I think this would be much more beneficial than spending around $100.00 to re-grip those old clubs of yours.

I would suggest as a 20+ you consider a set that was made more recently and will be much more forgiving, unless you are into retro golf equipment.

Thanks for all the quick responses. I will definitely look into newer clubs, but between the Wilson's and the Titleists which do you think would be a better club? I for some unknown reason love playing older clubs.

I guess the Titleist's, but again I definitely would not waste money regripping them. You can pick up a whole set of newer (used) irons for maybe $100-150 more than it would cost to regrip those things. A very good set at that. You'd also be advancing from 8-track to Blu-ray in the process, in terms of technical and game-improving advancement.

    • I found it odd that both Drs. (Raymond Prior and Greg Rose) in their separate videos gave the same exact math problem (23 x 12), and both made the point of comparing block practice to solving the same exact math problem (23 x 12) over and over again. But I've made the point that when you are learning your multiplication tables… you do a bunch of similar multiplications over and over again. You do 7 x 8, then 9 x 4, then 3 x 5, then 2 x 6, and so on. So, I think when golf instructors talk about block practice, they're really not understanding what it actually is, and they're assuming that someone trying to kinda do the same thing is block practice, but when Dr. Raymond Prior said on my podcast that what I was describing was variable practice… then… well, that changes things. It changes the results of everything you've heard about how "block" practice is bad (or ineffective).
    • Day 121 12-11 Practice session this morning. Slowing the swing down. 3/4 swings, Getting to lead side better, trying to feel more in sync with swing. Hit foam balls. Good session overall.
