I've been hitting for the last few weeks with a couple of borrowed 7 irons, so I'd like to order set of my own.

I've been hitting balls 3-4 days a week lately, but I haven't played in 8 years or so. So, no handicap or idea what my strengths or weaknesses are. I do have my first golf lesson tomorrow.

I'm 6'5" 260 and I think I have a pretty slow/smooth tempo. The ball generally goes right to left with my irons.

I hit about 20 balls off the launch monitor at Golf Galaxy this afternoon and noted the averages (this includes my best and worst shots).

The club was a Callaway X22 clone 7 iron with a True Temper Feather Light shaft (110g) in stiff flex.  It's +.75" in length, 1 deg upright, SW is D6.

My numbers were;

Club Head Speed - 77.1

Ball Speed - 104.9

Efficiency - 1.36

Launch Angle - 19.4

Azimuth - 0.6

Side Spin - 84L

Back Spin - 2344

Peak Height - 22

Descent Angle - 36

Carry Distance - 159

Total Distance - 182

Any suggestions for irons and shafts are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!


the best bet would probably be going back to Golf Galaxy and getting yourself fitted. i personally dont know much about shafts, i used the default ones that came in most of my clubs with the exception of used clubs that have custom shafts. many people on these forums have a lot of knowledge on the subject but it will be hard to come to a decision based on numbers

My clubs-

Driver- Cleveland XL270 

3 wood- Cleveland XL270 HL 3 wood

hybrid and irons-Cleveland Mashie 3 hybrid 

                        Adams a4r 4 hybrid-gw

wedges- a4r pw, gw, snakeyes 

             Callaway x-series jaws 56 Degree, 60 Degree

putter- Oddessey metal-x

    • Yeah, uhhh… keep them dry? Because, yeah, the chrome is partly to help them not rust. You could have them re-plated, though you'd have to check on the legality. You could have them refinished by a company like this: https://www.theironfactory.com (they have closed, but there are still some other companies like them). Or, use them until they rust out a bit too much, and buy a new set.  
    • Good, sensical post. Kudos.
    • On further reflection, I take back my "stupid" comment. It does make sense when put in context that the rule is to prevent any external attachments to the face of the club. Any change to that rule to allow exceptions would complicate the rule unnecessarily when it is easy enough to remove the stickers, etc.  I was surprised with her coaches advice and I've told her to just remove them before any competitions. 
    • Hey guys so I sanded the top.of my irons I'm worried about rust I dint know that they had a finish any helpful tips would be much appreciated
    • High school golf coaches are often not really knowledgeable about the rules, I have an issue when a coach tells a player NOT to follow A specific rule.  As for the "stupidity" of this particular rule, I can't see a way to allow SOME stuff on the club face without allowing everything on the clubface.
