    best clubs for my swing

    hi
    i'm a new member and am around a 15 handicapper. i started playing at age 44. my swing is awkward and i'd rather not change it now at 59. the problem is that i have a forward press with every shot. i break my wrists and they are always ahead of the ball. i get more distance than i think i should and less height on the ball(110 yds with a 60* wedge) my question is that i'm planning to buy a new set of irons and am wondering if draw irons(taylormade r7 draw) or offset irons(ben hogan bh5 offset) would be best for me. i'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. thank you kindly eric

    Tough to say without seeing your swing.

    110 with a 60 is plenty of distance.

    Offset will help shots move to the draw side as well as add trajectory. Draw based irons will help your release if you have the requisite feel.

    Your hands lead the clubhead - this is a good thing.

    Talk to me about your misses - with driver, with irons - and your stock shot shape.

      thanks for the reply. looks like the offset irons would be better. the driver: i have a real bad slice except when i use a 6* offset driver .this driver works for me. the irons: i dont have a bad slice but low trajectory and my ball rolls off the green.
      thanks eric

        Part of not holding a green could be the ball, could be the green. You're certainly delofting the club at impact!

        Sounds like something with a deep cavity and offset in the irons is what you're looking for - PING and Cobra have irons that suit these needs.

            hi
            i agree with lowpost that ping cavity back clubs do get the ball in the air quickly and are offset and i have been using them for over 30 years and do have a high flight due to the shaft and the club head.
            cheers
