For teeing off I'd have to say my Rescue Dual, and as far as irons I'd have to say anything from my 7-9 iron. Ryan

My name is Ryan, as you can tell...I'm from Western Illinois and I go to WIU. I work at our university golf course and have just recently taken up golf. I began last summer when I got the job at the course and I'm hooked. I went crazy and I played almost everyday. I'm studying Finance so golf is a must have skill for a business person! I hope that everyone had a safe and fun holiday season, but I can't wait for it to get warm out again so we can all hit the links! Take care, Ryan

I would say that ball striking and course management are the two most important things, because they set you up for a good short game and put you in position for a good round every time out. Ryan

Break 82 for a round. Break 40 for 9 holes. Practice putting much more (two-putt more holes). Get a putting lesson. Become comfortable with my new grip and swing. Punch out more instead of trying to be a hero. Bring my handicap down to 14. Good luck everyone, Ryan

I just bought a set of the new R7s on Ebay (3-SW-stiff, steel, True Temper S300 shafts, new classic wrapped Winn grips) for $415. It said a couple of the clubs had been hit a few times off of a brush mat, but that's basically new and I'm pumped. Most of the new R7 sets are going for less than $500 on ebay, so everyone should check that out! Take care, Ryan

Looks like a good deal to me...they're 549.99 now, so maybe they changed the price after a couple days...

It helps, and if you're a 17 handicap, you would probably be able to hit one fairly well. But if you aren't comfortable hitting it, you may as well stick to a hybrid club or a 2-iron! Good luck, Ryan
