Hi Everyone. I am trying to find a new set of irons for my father. Hes about 5'6 and can drive the ball around 200 yards. He has some issues getting his irons up in the air and most of his shots land short. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for him? I'd like him to be able to get his irons back up in the air and add some distance. Does anyone have experience with a hybrid iron set? Are these good for seniors? Also, we don't have access to any club fitters where we live. Is it possible to get fitted online these days? Thanks!

So im looking to purchase a Mizuno JPX-825 Pro iron set. Golfsmith has them at $599 on their site however a very reputable ebay store called budgetgolf has them for 499. Has anyone purchased clubs from this store? Why are they $100 cheaper? Ive heard that it can be unsafe purchasing clubs on ebay due to knockoffs but this store has some great feedback. What do you think?

Im thinking about grabbing a set and was just wondering what the difference was between the x-hot, x-hot pro, and the x-hot N14. Why is the N14 set $100 cheaper?

List them by importance.

So to my understanding, blades are a solid iron (such as mp69's) and are the toughest to hit. Cavity backs are irons with a cavity (such as rocketballz irons) and are easiest to hit. Then there are hybrids (such as mp58's), which are a mix of both? is this right? in terms of how easy they are to hit do hybrids lean more towards blades or cavity backs? I have heard that more than 50% of pros are using cavity backs now? is this true? do any of them use hybrids?

hitting shots low and right
redhotchlypeppr replied to redhotchlypeppr's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I think you guys are right. Im pretty sure they are toe hits. Its not a shank. And I recall my buddy, who is a scratch golfer, once telling me that he doesnt think im getting my wrists through the ball and finishing my shot. -

pw 47, gw 52. I would say i am more of a sweeper. If i do make a divot, it is not very deep. The course is usually on the softer side and the rough can be think at times. -
Ive been hitting iron shots low and to the right. I have blades and its been giving me that "stinging" feeling. Where am I making contact with the ball on my iron? why is it going low and right?

its a cheap worn out 40 dollar club with a bend in the shaft. that is why i dislike it. My shots with this club produce 1 ft backspin at most. Should I grab a separate club for bunkers? -

I dont believe sticking with my crappy 56 sandwedge is the best idea. I know I can do better with something else.... -
So I previously had a cheap 56 that i used for EVERYTHING 100 yards and in. sand traps, greenside, everything. I broke it the other day so now I am planning on purchasing a top tier wedge since I use it more than any other club in the bag. I am leaning towards a 58. My question is, should I use this new club for everything? I want to be able to be perfect around the greens and from 100 in, but what about sand traps? Should I make another purchase for a sand wedge? I heard that using this club in the sand could scratch it and make it less useful. thanks

My 10.5 driver goes WAY too high. why is this? am i losing distance? i can drive the ball around 280 so i guess my swingspeed is around 100. I know i need a new loft but which one should I get?
