Recently lost a 7 iron from my set of Callaway X Hots (Steel, Stiff), and can not for the life of me find an individual iron on Callaway preowned or sites like 2ndswing.com. The only place I can find one is on ebay for $70+. In my search, I've found XRs with those specs for as low as $30 used. I play once or twice a month, average high 80s-low 90s, and was wondering if it will make a big difference if that one club is different than the others. Any thoughts/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I think you will be fine unless you have issues with anal retention like I do.

I'd check online and see if the length and loft are the same...if so, I'm guessing you won't be able to tell the difference.

If anyone asks, just tell them you're one of those people who assembles a "mixed set" of cavity backs and blades from two different models. ;-)

Haha I like this plan. Thanks!

Well put. I think I could mix and match like crazy. I just don't want it look like I bought the set and different garage sale.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

For me the look at address would be key. I have tried but cannot use a combo set where the long  irons are much bulkier than the short irons.

If you can find a replacement XHot  7-iron on eBay for $70, go for it. That's a pretty good price.

Years ago I lost the head off my MacGregor MT 7i. To save $, a pro sold me an MT demo model from a couple of years later for $10. I wish to this day I had sprung for $40 and gotten an exact replacement. (I no longer use the MTs, but I keep them in their old bag, and it would be nice to have a matching set.)

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
