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.

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

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.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
