Hi all…. I am new here so be gentle with me…
I have hit a plateau with my game. When I started golfing 3 years ago I had no formal lessons and picked up a cheap $150 set of clubs from one of these online clone retailers. I was shooting 120 – 130 and was just excited to be on a golf course. Since then my swing has developed with tips from my golfing buddies and I my score has been decreasing. I have been shooting right around 100 consistently for 6 months now, but I seem to have hit a plateau. The question is what do I about it. I have been thinking in circular logic about this for a while and I need input on my 2 thought patterns.
LESSONS
Do I get lessons with my current equipment to make sure my swing is what is should be then get a fitting and new clubs and go from there?
OR
Should I get a fitting and new clubs then take lessons with them?
I want to make sure I get the right clubs for my game, but I don’t want to learn on equipment that may be substandard then change everything around and relearn with new clubs.
CLUBS
It is definitely time for some new clubs… I have problems with hitting my 3-5 iron but hit my hybrid 3 just fine.
Do I get a set of progressive hybrid irons since they will have an immediate impact on my game?
OR
Would that be a crutch that would hurt me in the long run and I should get some open cavity clubs and just learn to play them better. (I don’t think I am ready to entertain the idea of blades yet.)
