Which irons do you prefer?

Irons that look good in the bag, tell others you're a Playa (until they see you hit), cost you too many strokes, but feel awesome. Fat-soled shovels that te...

I like to have the oldest, ugliest shit I can in my bag. And then fuck people up by shooting under par with it. In the meantime the poser I’m paired up with is shooting 110 with his Mizuno blades, fancy shoes and pressed golf shirt.... riding of course too.

I'd rather be making money, instead of fucking with hacks, like me. 😉😁🇺🇸

I always say, if you shoot the same scores with any clubs, regardless of what those scores may be, do it with the prettiest clubs you can afford. Why not?

LBlack14 This belongs at WRX. I refuse to answer.

🤘😁🤘

I'm under the impression My Golf Spy is about as bad on their forum. Some guy was talking about his 140-yard wedge that was inches from an ace. I got nothing in my quiver for a response to that.

mikeintopeka Nice shot? 😁

sdandrea1 Fat-soled shovels that tell the word you suck, but are stupid-EZ to hit and give you your best scores.

Me! I used to consider myself "good," (although I know now I was only fooling myself), and this led me
to probably playing with irons that required more skill than what I have. A set of Ping i5's several years ago, a set of Callaway Xr's more recently, and reaching the age of 70 finally relieved me of that attitude!! In the last few years I've experimented with a couple of sets of Pings, Acer XD/HT, and various Adams offerings until finally, I've hit on a set of Adams a12OS hybrid irons with the fat soles that seem to fit me perfectly! I do know that since I've embraced easier-to-hit clubs and moved up to either senior tees or at least a "blended" set of whites and golds the game has
become much more fun, and I'm shooting better scores than ever...!

I play equally bad with both. Played blades through the 90’s and then sometime around 2005 I decided I wasn’t good enough for them. Switched to cavity back and didn’t really gain anything. I miss the feel and look of the blades, but there’s no point in going back now.

Game improvement with their forgiveness is what I gravitate towards. Play the TM Sim Max OS irons now. Before that I played the Ping G400’s. Still have them.

When I demoed the TM Sim Max OS irons they had the fastest ball speeds for me as well. I’ve always been able to check my ego and play what works best.

As I’ve said in another thread I could easily play a set of wide soled ironwoods and not miss a beat.

Whatever I think will get the job done goes in my bag. I don't care what they look like. They're just tools.

Nothing I would like better than to play an all fairway woods/hybrid set and shoot scores like Typhoon does , just to blow people's minds.

scotts33

In general fairway woods from 43" to 40" are the hardest clubs to hit in the bag for average golfers. Tight lies with longer playing length. If you can master that playing length off tight lies then golf becomes much easier. That's the big bugaboo for most recreational golfers. Irons just aren't that hard to play because of their playing length.

I go by my 80% rule. If you can't hit 8 out of 10 good shots with a club then don't carry it's just costing you strokes.

Dang, Scott if I did that I would only have a putter in my bag. 🤣

My only 80% clubs are probably Driver, Pw, Gw, Sw, putter.

And yet fir me anyway, my g400 3w 5w 7w are super accurate and consistent for me. I cant hit hybrids.

Bravopilot

Rickochet Pretty good putting there, make 80%

I'm serious Rick! Think about that 80% comb your bag and pull out all the clubs you can't hit play a few rounds and watch your scores get better or no worse than you are now. Most wil find they can play a 44" driver and hit a lot of frwys. Pull out the longer playing length tight lie clubs. Hit a hybrid off the tight lies, use irons out of the rough and manage the course better and all those duffs, ugly tops, turning the sod over the ball going 5 yards will cease. Frustration level much lower. 😜
