Re: Need New irons bad!

What do you want to do? Hit higher or lower? Do you need more forgiveness or a thinner top line?

How much do you want to spend?

Re: Need New irons bad!

i wanna hit higher and want more forgiveness and i dont know how much money i want to spend because ill probably be getting them off ebay.

Re: Need New irons bad!

Obviously my opinion is that you should be getting fit for your clubs versus buying anything off the rack (or eBay).

You're obviously doing well enough with some off the rack clubs to play as well as you do - but properly fit clubs allow you to remove equipment as a barrier to reaching your maximum potential.

That said:

You want to hit the ball higher. The fastest and easiest way to do this is to buy clubs with lofts weaker than what you're currently playing. However, this also means that club for club, you'll be shorter.

If you don't like that option, then what you look for are clubs with deep cavities and sole weighted - like Snake Eyes 600XC irons or Callaway X16 or Wishon 752TC.

However, the most forgiving irons on the planet are the thin faced designs. The two sets I'm aware of are the Wishon 770CFE and the Taylormade CGB.

I currently play the Wishon's - they've been tested at losing only 1.4% of yardage for a 1" toe side miss with the swingspeed to carry the 7 iron 158 yards. Imagine that - you toe one pretty badly, and hit it 156 instead of 158. both the 770's and the CGB's are pretty sole-weighty, too, increasing trajectory.

The final component to adding trajectory would be the stiffness of the tip section of the shaft in conjunction to how you swing.

In higher swingspeed players who really load and hold the shaft, stiffer shafts actually result in higher ball flights, as they overpower softer shafts and create lower launches (and more distance).

For the average golfer with a flippy swing, a softer shaft helps trajectory as the shaft is straight or bending forward at impact whereas a stiffer shaft doesn't move at all.
