After sharpening up my putting, chipping and driving, I started to hone in on my Callaway X18 irons as a potential reason why I couldn't get the game to where I wanted it. I never got fitted for these Callaway clubs, and I suspect they're too long, but all in all I just don't hit the Callaway X18 irons well.

One day, partially out of frustration, I picked up my wife's irons and decided to hit them. I bought them for her a couple of years ago, as an inexpensive experimental beginner set for her, and never really took them too seriously. But this time, while inspecting them, I decided they were the strangest irons I have ever seen, and haven't seen any like them.

They have really wide soles, and the blade on rear side juts out and has a line (so you can line up the shot - pretty cool). They're fairly heavy, despite having what I guess would be defined as a cavity back. I could post a picture.

Anyway, I took these out, and couldn't believe how accurate they were, and how forgiving. I could line up the shot, and it would get a good loft, and even if you hit behind the ball it seemed to catch-up and give you something loft and distance-wise. The weight distribution just guides the club to the proper iron swing.

But these are her clubs, and they're in a pink breast cancer theme. I am wondering if there is a mens' version of these clubs, or if there's another club out there on the market that looks like these?

Even if I wind up moving back to a thinner or blade iron, I would like to have these (or similar) onhand. And I think I'd like to play some irons like this for a season and see what results I get.

Would definitely need some pictures to get an accurate comparison. The widest soled irons for men would be any of the Maltby "Glider" models http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_MA0121#

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
