Hello, I have played golf (sort of) off and on for a few years, but I know very little about the game itself. Never took a lesson. Stopped for about a year and a half. Came back and got some used clubs that were much longer than my old ones. My golf game greatly improved, at least for me. High number irons were going straight and I was starting to hang with my golf buddies that actually knew what they were doing. So, I got my state tax return and bought some clubs last night. Take it I know NOTHING about clubs at all. I got a set of Nike Victory Red Forged Irons and a couple of Nike Dymo Drivers. So here's where I am. With my old clubs, I was hitting greens consistently. At the range I could bang the 6-9 irons within 5 feet of the pin. Old graphite shafts. I take out these steel shaft nike irons and every shot I hit is the same distance as with my old clubs, but about 15-20 feet off to the right. Same swing as before. Clubs are about an inch shorter than my old ones. I'm 6'2". So I'm looking for some advice. Go back to the old clubs, that as far as reviews and stuff, aren't as good of clubs, but I was playing better with them. Or, stick with these and figure out what I'm doing wrong. My drive with the Nike Driver is hooking to the right twice to 3x as much as the old dunlop my friend gave me. I ordered a Dymo2 as it's said to be very forgiving. Again, I know nothing about golf or clubs. Everything is self taught out there, but for me, I was doing well. I'm sure most people around here are vets, but I'm a new guy who's kinda irritated at the consistent 20 feet to the right of the pin on his irons that wasn't there with the old graphite shaft Zevo clubs I got for $50 on Craigslist. If anyone could take a second and break things down for the new guy here and basically give me some advice, I would really appreciate it. I know this isn't a technical question or something that will bring real discussion for you experts on here, but I'm no expert and a second of your time could help me out...or at least get rid of this pounding headache I came home from the range this morning with.
Thanks
