Sorry I can't comment on the Wison Irons, the thing that sets the OS2's apart from a lot of other cast GI irons is their feel. There isn't that harsh imapct feel you can get with a lot of cast irons. Well I'm not going to say it's as sweet as the feel of a forged iron, it is marketably better than most cast club heads. That is the primary reason they are still extremely popular 4 years after their initial release.

Callaway FT

KZG ZO Blades http://www.kzgolf.com/sites/courses/...588&page;=31392 If you think you have the game, these are a sweet set of irons. One of the guys I golf with on a regular basis has a set, with 6.0 Project X Flighted. I've played them a couple of times and loved them, they do force you to focus on your shot, not a lot of forgiveness. But they feel so pure when you hit that sweet spot, they move through the ball, like a hot knife through butter!

Carry TM OS2 PW and Miura 54 (9 bounce) and 60 (7 bounce) both with Rifle Spinner Shafts. I had both my 54 & 60 built with the same shaft length, I find I'm more consistant with them setup that way.

Sounds like a sweet buy for a $100 bucks, congrats!!

I'm really liking my Callaway FT #3 Wood, just a solid easy to hit performer, nothing fancy it just gets the job done

Deafheaven, couldn't agree more, good sound advice

I second the Baby Wipes, been using them for 10 years to clean my clubs and they work great. If your worried about liquids around the removable weights, try a can of blow-out, you know that stuff they use to blow out the crud in computer key boards. I use it whenever I clean my clubs, blow the water out of any tight area where it could accumulate.

I would look at Mizuno, they have a wide range of Irons to match your particular skill set. MX-100 or 200's for maximum forgiveness, perhaps MP-52's which offer good forgiveness but also offer a degree of playability that a more accomplished player would appreciate and could effectively utilize. I'm a 7.9 handicap, and I play MP-52's because the offer a strong level of forgiveness, but also allow me to work the ball effectively and with relative ease. Then there is the Mizuno feel, soft and solid, you'll never find a better feeling iron. True, with only 3 months experince, you are early in your development as a player, but set of customed fitted Mizuno's will provide you with a solid plateform to support and service your game.

It's been a while since I played the Cleveland 900 series, I had the Gunmetal version. Cleveland's Wedges are among the most widely used wedges, well designed, solid performing club. Well I don't believe they have the feel of a Vokey Spin Milled or a Mirua Forged, it's tough to go wrong with a Cleveland Wedge, especially at that price.

True Lessons would be the best place to start, but some good "extreme game improvement irons: 1. Adams IDEA Tech a3 or a4 OS 2. Callaway Big Bertha 3. Callaway FTi-brid 4. Cleveland Launcher Hybrids/Iron 5. Mizuno MX-100 or MX-200 6. Cobra SZ Wide Sole I'm sure there are many more, and I'm not sure how much you want to spend, if it was me I'd get him the Mizuno MX-100's. High quality club, proven technology, and maximum forgiveness.

You can't go wrong with MP-52's and at $400.00 bucks,... well if you don't take them, give me your friends phone number and I'll buy them!!! Seriously these are great irons, outstanding feel and performance, with a surprising amount of forgiveness. The MP-52's can offer the 15 handicap golfer with forgiveness and the scratch golfer with the performance and capability he requires of an iron.

Mizuno MP-33's, I just plain wore them out; but they were definitely the sweetest feeling irons I've ever owned.

I always buy new, since I put each Driver /shaft combo through a lot of testing before I buy, so most times new is the only option.

TaylorMade RAC OS2 Irons, I believe they were orginally offered in 2005, they are really excellent clubs, nice feel, good forgivness. They are getting harder to find new, but if you can locate a set you can usually get them for a sweet price.

My Home Course: http://www.legendsgc.com/ Favorite Courses: http://www.giantsridge.com/golf/legend http://www.giantsridge.com/golf/quarry http://www.fortunebay.com/golf/ The Legends GC in Prior Lake, MN is a great track, always in excellent shape, tough but fair. The 3 "favorite" courses are located in Northern Minnesota, if you love great golf on scenic wilderness tracks, then you have to visit these courses. I think they comprise the best all around golfing experince in the State.

I really like the new WINN PCi TL grips, but as somebody else commented great feeling grips but they are not as durable as some other manufactures, they tend to wear out a lot quicker. Perhaps that's the trade-off for their great feel?

True it is a little pricey, with the VooDoo shaft mine came in at $600.00, certainly can't fault anybody for balking at that price tag. But the Boss (Wife) let me re-distribute some of this years tax return to my golf bag, so I was able to go a little crazy, but I'm very sure I've used up my golf allowance for many years to come. But I have to say, based on the performmance to date it has been worth every single cent, I no longer fear the tee box, this club is a weapon, period.

I play the FT-9 I-MIX with the Aldila VooDoo XVS7 shaft, the FT-9 is by far the best Driver Callaway has produced in a long time, for my game at least. I also like the I-MIX concept, it really allowed me to get the perfect shaft for my swing profile, and I'm certain that has played a large part in my satisfaction with the FT-9. I play a 9 degree neutral and with the VooDoo shaft I get very solid feel with good feedback and an outstanding ability to shape and control my shots form the tee box. Distance is very good, but again that I believe is do in large part to the ability, with the I-MIX, to build the perfect Driver for your game. Also the gone is the ear splitting "klink", the FT-9 has a nice solid sound. So all in all I'm extremely pleased with the FT-9, certainly a Driver worth considering when looking for something new to put in your bag.

I have a 115 SS and I play the Aldila VooDoo XVS7 in my Callaway FT-9 I-MIX. I'm extremely pleased with this shaft, very stable but does not feel dead or unresponsive, smooth strong feel, with a 115 SS the shaft loads nicely. The kicker with this shaft is control, for me at least it imparts a lot of confidence over the ball, draw, fade, or right up the middle, you can just flat out put the ball where you want it. Last season I had a Diamana Whiteboard in my PING Rapture 2 and I'll take the VooDoo any day of the week. Distance is a little better, 10-15 yards, but since I'm not comparing similar Drivers heads I'm not sure if that is a valid statement. Over the last 6 years I've played Fuji, GD, UST, and the Aldila NV, VS Proto, and the VooDoo gets the nod over all of them. But as you well know shafts are a highly individualistic piece of equipment, so I'm not making any promises, but I do believe you owe it to yourself to give the VooDoo a try.

Perhaps your correct, but some of the best players on Tour, are only contractually obligated to play sponsor's equipment if they feel it meets their expectations of performance. I would submit that since this is their career, and winning is the sole puropose of why they play. There are not too many PGA players who would play a cavity back irons if they didn't feel they provided them with a competative advantage and increased their ability to preform at the required level to win on Tour.

Something to consider, I was reading the "Club Test" issue of Golf Magazine and in it they mentioned the approximate percentage of PGA Players still playing true "Blades". The overwhelming percentage of PGA Professionals play Cavity Back Irons. They made the statement to the effect, that if the best players in the world choose to play cavity backs, perhaps it would be a good idea for us regular folks to follow their lead. In recent years several companies have developed some excellent forged cavity back irons, that don't compromise feel and provide a great degree of shot shaping flexiability. But at the end of the day it's your money and your call, but don't dismiss cavity back irons, the guy's who do it for a living think they're a good choice!

Stinger makes two types of Tees, Pro XL and the XL Competition version, I get the Pro XL version. The "XL Competition" Tees have a extremely small head, not much larger than the dimple on the golf ball, I've tried the XL Comps and it is very difficult to get a golf ball tee'd up on them. But the Pro XL version shouldn't give you any trouble?

Thanks Bighitta, she does put a smile on your face

Miura Wedges, hands down the best I've ever used, they cost a little more but it's money well spent
