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.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
