Best irons for golfers who shoot in high 70s?

Question

i have some dunlops right now and i hit them good, but they are getting small, so i was wondering what clubs would be good for me?

Answer 1

Well the high 70's puts you in the mid-to-high single digit handicap.  Depending on how much money you want to spend, Mizuno has the new MP57 on the market.  It is a full cavity forged iron.  It is for players who are 0-12 handicap.  I won't hit nothing other than a forged iron.  That's just me.  I have hit Mizuno irons in the past and they are excellent.

Answer 2

I'm a 2 handicap.  I was a 10 handicap playing Mizuno MP-14 blades and they were just TOO unforgiving.  I did lots of research reading about about what the pros play and then hitting lots of clubs at the range.  Getting from a 10 to a 2 started with getting fitted to a new set and then lessons.  Getting good wedges and a putter that fitted me <scotty cameron studio 2 bent 2 degrees flat>

READ THIS MONTHS Golf Digest.  It's the EQUIPMENT ISSUE and it has a section on "Player Irons" and then go to a good range and hit the demo's.

The main criteria for a better play to pick irons for me was:

1. The look <feeling confident standing over it>,

2.  VERY LITTLE OFFSET.  I want to control trajectory and offest impacts my ability to deloft clubs  or increase loft on shaped shots

3.  Feel.

After hitting so many clubs I liked the way the Mizuno's looked and felt <like one of the other posts> I will only play forged clubs.  I bought a combo set.  MP-30's in the long irons for forged cavities and MP-37's <blades> in the PW-7 iron.  It gives me a mix of feel and forgiveness.

I want the MP-67 or the MP-57's, sweet clubs.  I also like the look of the Callaway X-Forged Blades also but haven't hit them. They say that many pros are NOT playing blades any more because they can get the forgiveness and feel from a cavity back now...

Answer 3

Go to your local proshop or Golf outlet store and try some different brands.  Everyone has a different swing and different clubs will work better for different golfers.  It's about what works best for your swing, not everyone elses.

Answer 4

Get TaylorMades.  They're the best.

Answer 5

You should consider custom clubs. They will be of equal or greater quality as any of the major brands, will be better fit to you than anything else, and will cost the same or less than major brands. Even if you decide to go with Mizunos or Titleists, or whatever, you're doing yourself a disservice if you do not at least try out some custom clubs.

Answer 6

Don't focus on the brand.  Rather go to a good shop and have them custom fit you using a launch monitor.  They'll help match your swing to the right brand with some possible minor modifications or a differnet shaft.
