Thanks for your reply WUTiger. To answer your questions: I am currently playing with Tom Weiskopf irons. They are pretty old I think and we're just handed down to me. I'm even missing the 5 and 7 iron. I hit the 6 iron about 165 yards. I only hit them straight about half the time. So in a new set of irons, I would like to get more distance and a higher percentage of straight shots, ultimately lowering my score.
i took a class several years ago, but other than that, have just been playing for fun for 4 years.
i called GolfSmith today and asked what type of game improvement clubs they offered in the $300-$400 range. They replied they had the razorbladez, Calloway x, and one other that I can't remember. They offered to let me try them all out in the simulator before making a decision, and that the fitting would be included if I purchase a new set, except a few small charges like the grips. So I think I have maybe 5 different types of clubs on my short list to demo before making a decision.
Does that sound like a good plan of attack to you guys, or would you do something differently?
thanks again for your reply.
