Hey guys, I've been going through a very frustrating slump with my golf game for about the past 3 weeks so i have finally decided to take the leap and join the site.
I've been golfing off and on for the last 14 years or so. I am currently using the same clubs that I originally got back in 1997. They aren't a name brand of any sort, though I did get them at a reputable golf shop. They just say "MDD Plus" and "Progressive Offset" on the Irons.
I played pretty regularly from 1997-2002, including one year on the golf team (i wasn't good enough to make Varsity, just went out so I could play everyday). Once I started college in 2002, I got away from it a bit, but I have been playing pretty regularily again for about the last 3 or 4 years.
Anyway, I think my Irons have finally bitten the dust. For some reason about 3 weeks ago, I started this slump where I am literally unable to get any distance out of my Irons (Not having this problem with the Woods). I will hit the ball flush, but it will not go far whatsoever. None of my friends who are avid golfers can figure out the problem either, my swing looks good and I am making good contact most of the time. I've come to the conclusion that part of my problem could be these clubs have just gotten way too much use the last 14 years and I've warn too far down on the Club Face.
Anyway, even if that isn't problem, I think it's probably time I get a new set of clubs anyways. Can anyone make some good recommendations? I am currently planning a wedding, so I can't afford anything very extravagant. Used might be the way to go unless I can get a really good deal. I saw someone recommending the Callaway X20s in another thread.
A little about my game. I usually shoot around 100 on 18 holes. Like I said, I'm a pretty average golfer. I flirt with a slice here and there, and I have a definite tendency to hit the ball too high instead of keeping it down.
Thanks for any advice!
