Hello,

Im a 2 hcp player and am currently using the callaway razr forged irons:

http://www.rankmark.com/images/2011/Irons/callaway-razr-x-forged-irons/callaway-razr-x-forged-irons.jpg

My problem is that I tend to hit it quite fat and when trying clubs with more bounce I tend to hit the sweet spot more often.

I have been looking at the ap2 and also even the ap1s. Which other clubs would you suggest for a 2 hcp player that wants more bounce in his irons.


Also, do you think bounce could be part of the problem in my case? The razr forged have really thin soles.

thanks alot,


D

So are you saying you don't like the thin sole on the bottom of the irons because it digs a bit in the turf, magnifying shots that you hit fat? Or do you just hit a lot of shots fat, which makes the previous problem a real kick in the pants? One thing to keep in mind is that, if you're testing the other irons on a mat for a simulator, mats will hide fat shots really well at a golf shop. Just because you hit it better at a shop from their mats doesn't mean it will translate into on-course results unless you test it head to head with your current irons and still find it better.

Thanks for the reply. I dont hit fat shots often but I do hit them more often with these irons than with my previous higher bounce sole bertha irons. Im a bit of a digger with the irons so I think have a sharp sole doesnt benefit me much.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
