Swallowing Pride - new irons

[Gilberg]

I have a lot of pride but first and most I am a man,only god can change that.  So sometimes you have to step up to the plate.  this time I think i hit a homer.

I have been struggling a little with my pre backswing, mostly set up.  I saw the european kid, Bryson, who wears the sherlock homes hat.  I am NOT a fan of his style or personality, but he does hit it good with that iron set he hits with.  I decided to go that route, even though I am NOT a fan of his and prolly won't be anytime this year.

Since my 7 iron is my favorite club I thought that would be the best one to do.  It took me a few months on ebay but I finally got 8 of the same 7-irons (rocket balls) to use.  Not sure how he does his but since all the irons are the same I got some of gary player black knight iron covers that has the numbers on them so i will know which 7-iron to use for each iron.  My coach says I still take to much time to choose my club, even though they are exactly the same (driver is not a 7-iron, i use a 3 wood for that).

I played some hoes the other day and went lights out with them.  Has anyone else tried to go this route?  I like it this far but the hat is drawing to much attention.

What I would prolly do is just have one or two rocket ballerz 7 irons.  They would be like five or four irons but the same length.  Then you could get like a Titleist CB 7 iron and that would be like an actual seven iron, same length again.  Then you could go with a Mizuno blade 7 iron, that would be more like a 8 or 9 iron.  Lastly you could get maybe a really old hogan 7 iron and that would prolly be more like a wedge of sorts.  Anyway, I just think you may want to consider this to help your gaps out a bit.  Glad it has helped your pre backswing though.  That is good news.

HI cipher, thanks for the advice.  I just went out and Titleist CB 7 iron and tried it but I hate it bad.  The guy I bouhgt it from won't take it back.  Can you mail me a check for $25, since he won;t give me a refund.  Not sure how is libel here but I guess you would be?  I will go out and buy the other ones later

thanks in advance, i love and support people who stand behind their products

Can't say I ever played any hoes.  I have turned the lights out first though.

I'm doing something similar except I have a bag full of niblets with 52 inch shafts. I did some research and found that if you start your back swing with your right hand (right handers only) and transfer to the left hand at impact you get scary distance and loft control. I went gir 18/18 first time out. Problem is that you have to anchor the club to your chin to make the swing and now the PGA has screwed me out of my whole game.

Anchor to your chin?  Can't picture that.

@Gilberg, I am confused.  You got 8 7-irons of the same set, which means they all have the same loft, correct.  How do you hit different distances with them.  What DeChambeau has is the Single Length concept.  All irons the same shaft length and weight and the only variable is different loft on the clubhead

I couldn't get past the chin anchor.  I expected to see Rod Serling any minute.
