@Lihu Really informative read. Funny thing is I hit my irons the way I have always hit them even 3 and 5 wood. I am going to the the range this afternoon play around with how I manipulate the clubface. Thank you for the awesome link really appreciate. Could also be the culprit I am open to suggestions I will have look at this first this afternoon maybe it's the same issue. Kind Regards

As the title suggests. Irons are still perfect nothing out of the ordinary my 5 and 3 wood are also unaffected but lately I have been having this habit of "snap" drawing my driver of the tee. I then decided to cut my shaft down 1 inch , this helped a lot , got lots more control but I still get that habit every now and a then. what causes a snap draw on your driver ? My swing path is in to out with my irons not sure about driver. Sometimes I even start the ball left with that snap hook. Could this be cause by coming over the top ? I also favor to hit up on the ball with my driver , I play a lot of my front foot with my driver. My swingplane is flat but not by much but it's definitely flat. I play a Callaway GBB Epic All neutral Loft 9.5. I hope I have given sufficient info. Kind Regards

Thank you for the welcome great to be here among fellow golfers. Good the hear you are playing golf again after you surgery! I will have to wait and see when I go hit the mentioned clubs along with their CB counterparts. I am not going with my heart set on Mizuno but I hope those are are the ones that perform. < sounds a bit biased

I like to think to myself that I will become a better player if I start playing blades. It will force me to concentrate more on hitting the middle of that club face but then again we mortals usually think we are better than we actually are . Mondays to Thursdays I spend a lot of time ( the time that I have after work Usually 2+ hours ) working on irons and putting. I have a different schedule for everyday of the week. Fridays I got out and play 9 holes and Saturdays I do 18. Like I said in my previous post I am adding the the CB variants to the mix as well. Excited to go hit them Thank you for the reply much appreciated !!

Thank you for the welcome :D. I have booked a fitting at a Pro shop. Will see what the numbers say. I am also going to have a look into the CB variations of the Mizuno , Taylormade ect. True words spoken why do we buy golf clubs in the first place.. Thanks for the welcome really appreciate the friendly people on this forum. Really really dry air in northwest where I live. Sunny about 99.9 % of the year. South Africa actually does have decent golf shops we only have 2 companies Golfers Club and The Pro Shop. Almost both of them have franchises in every large city. Guaranteed to not pay more than any other international store so prices are top notch. From the posts I have seen it seems like the forged irons will last as long as cast. Thank you for your input I agree with you looking at a picture of something is one thing but actually seeing it is a whole different ball game. I have always had the mentality that I must like how to club sits behind the ball. Otherwise you will always be lacking the confidence ( Which is a must when you start playing better players irons ) to hit the shot you want. Thank you for clearing up my misconception about forging vs casting. Silly question will large golf shops have the ability to check lies or will I need to to go to a specialist ? Thank you to everyone who replied it's nice to be on a friendly forum.

Hi all. Great to be here and talking to some fellow golfers. I am looking at getting new irons for the 2018 season. For the past year ( last leg of 2016 to present ) I have been taking my golf really seriously. I have dropped from a 15 Handicap to a 6 in the last year. I want to change my irons. I am looking at Mizuno mp 18 MB , Titleist 718 MB , Taylormade P730 and Callaway Apex MB. From a little of my own research I have found Mizuno to be the best "Blade" according to people ( This is based on my own research ). Which out of these will be the better brand? Second question. What are your opinions on forged iron durability. I hit alot of balls 3 - 4 times a week. Its my own personal driving range so I hit my own "range balls". I hit of Kikuyu grass on the range. Will this cause more wear on forged clubs than normal ones ? I currently play Taylormade m2 Tour irons. The course I play has hard fairways. As I am from South Africa this is the norm for a lot of courses in my area. This will be first set of proper players irons. Reason : As I am improving I am starting to wonder if the more forgivable irons are covering weaknesses in my swing. I am pushing for scratch mid next year. Kind Regards Kudu
