I like Cobra hybrids and woods, you might want to give them a try.

Last week my ball flight was right down the middle for the most part. This week dead pull to the left, (I'm a righty). We were playing a course with a lot of water, I lost like 10 to 12 balls! I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. I figured I was coming over the top, out to in swing but could not help myself. So back to the range tomorrow to work on it. If I can't fix it I'll go to a Pro for help.

I know there are less expensive options for clubs out there I was just struck by all the $1000+ irons sets on the wall in Dicks.

I haven't been to a golf store in a while, but I stopped at Dicks yesterday and was shocked by the prices they are asking for clubs, have the manufacturers lost their minds? Irons in excess of $1,000, drivers at $600 and up., shoes $200+. They are going to kill the game of golf, just my opinion.

I've had three lower back surgeries, no fusions. Once again back is giving me problems, (pain down the left leg), I'm see a neurosurgeon after I get an MRI next week. However, after doing some stretching the back is feeling better. I went to the range yesterday and hit some balls, again the back feels OK but stiff and pain in the hips, not down the leg. I guess I should still have the MRI and see the doctor. Thoughts?

Something isn't right, probably your 3W but Cobra Fly Zs are good cubs. I hit my 3W 10 to 20 yards less than my driver and I'm hitting an old Cobra 3W. You might want to take both clubs to an pro and have him see what is going on. That is a huge gap in distance.

As far as irons go, I picked up a set of XX!0; love them.

I think the grounds keepers would have something to say. What an a-hole.

Given I tested positive I won't be playing golf for a while. I feel OK thanks to the vaccines and booster.

I'll have to set them up and take a picture and post, haven't done that yet.

Played this week and was teamed with another twosome, nice guys. One of the guys got a hole in one on a 136 yard par 3. I was really happy for him.

Shaft is the XXIO shaft, SP-900 Prime, Flex 3311. They feel really nice. I am making good use of the Approach wedge.

I turned 70 in August '21, can't believe it but... I'm beginning to think that 80 is the new old.

Dicks Sporting Goods had a used set of XXIO irons, which looked like new, on sale for $520, (GW through the 6). I had been keeping an eye on them for a number of weeks and they didn't move so I asked the sales man if he could do anything with the price given they haven't been sold in so long, he knocked $100 off the price so I bought them. I had tried them and they felt really nice. So far I am very happy with them. Anyone else use the XXIO irons, thoughts, comments?
