I am an 83 year old veteran with playing handicap of 17.  In addition to understandably  losing some distance from some years back my iron play had got pretty poor and it was suggested that I try a set of hybrid irons. I got hold of a used set of Adams Idea Tech V3 and while the full hybrid graphite 4/5/6's improved my long shots significantly, the 7 - PW were poor performers for me as far as fell and accuracy goes.

I still had a set of McGregor VIP Tourney's from my early days and decided to clean up the 7-PW and re-fit with the newish NSPro  Zelos7 lightweight steel shafts, the results have been impressive and my iron play has improved significantly to the point where I am again playing around my handicap and shooting under a few times, even winning best nett in an inter-state (Malaysia) 2 day Event recently.

Have given up on getting back some driving distance after playing around with a few driver shaft changes but loss of distance off the tee is well compensated by my improved lay ups :-D:-D

Welcome back, @tuanton !! Great to hear the success story. That 2-day event must've been a thrill. See you around other threads here.

    • Day 6: 2026.01.09 Some swing work in the mirror. Need to work on home setup to be able to get more out of evenings where I can't make it to the range.
    • I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.
    • These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
