Just wanted to introduce myself here. I'm a 31 year old golfer in the USA.

I came to the sport in my teens, returned briefly in my mid 20's, but it wasn't until very recently that I really dove in and committed to it.

As a result, I am finally developing some consistency and ability to hit the ball squarely. What a wonderful feeling.

 

I'm putting together a new bag of clubs and really happy with the great options out there. I still need a good set of irons and will probably post here asking for advice. The two brands I've tried Callaway Razr and Tour Edge Exotics. The Callaway feels solid if a bit simple but effective. The Tour Edge was harder and slightly less forgiving, but a better arc and longer shot when hit properly. What does everyone here play? I've been seeing a lot of TaylorMade M series. What exactly is the difference between M1-M4? Do people have a preference?

 

 

Thanks in advance for all your help. Happy to be here.

Hello from Florida! Like you said there are many, many options out there today. Getting fit can probably get you on the right track. Some people care a lot about just how the club looks at address. It may be the deciding factor if otherwise you have similar results/feel. You can look for reviews dine for just about any set you’re interested in to get started. Any way, welcome and take a look around!

Welcome to TST. Lots of good info on this site.

Glad to read you are looking at some Tour Edge products. I am a die hard TE user. Just never got involved with their Exotics line of clubs.

Hello and welcome.  This probably won't help your iron hunt much, but I play Nicklaus Iron Max Progressives.  I got 6i-9i in a used bag I bought off eBay when I started playing last year.  They have actually worked out pretty well for me.  I can get some solid distance out of them when I hit them square, it's just my consistency that isn't good, which is no fault of the clubs.

  • :cleveland: Classic 270
  • :tmade: R580 3W, 5W, 7W
  • :nicklaus: Dual Point 3H, 4H
  • :nicklaus: IronMax Progressive 5i-9i
  • :cleveland: RTX 2.0 48*, 52*, 58*
  • Teardrop TD-47 Putter

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
