ConnorStephenson 3 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am 17 years old and am going to be competing at the collegiate level after high school. I am looking at getting some new irons soon. I swing the club decently fast and hit the ball plenty far enough. Any suggestions?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb 9,330 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 See a fitter. If you’re going to be competing in college, get a set that’s the absolute best fit for your body and swing as possible.

You can use the most wanted testing as a place to start your search and narrow it down from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 31,692 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If you already have a college selected, most likely they have a deal with an equipment company on some level, I'm sure there would be an opportunity to be fit by a rep with the company or if your coach has a PGA or fitting background. Short of those, definitely invest in your future by seeing a professional fitter. Any clubs even the best players here recommend might or might not be good fit for you. All that said, I know you posted to get some help and specific answers, so Mizuno has a great offering from blades (MP18) to GI (JPX Hot Metal)-- and in between (MP MMC and JPX Forged)--and they are really big with college players. Callaway actively works with college players and teams and has a great lineup. 5 Quote TSi1 Aldila Ascent 40G shaft TSi2 18 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft TSi1 20 and 23 degree hybrids Aldila Ascent Shafts R T300 5-P Tensei R flex shaft 1/4 long SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Tyne 4 ProV1X Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil 24,388 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Unfortunately, that is a question that is almost impossible to answer without more details. “Decently fast”’and “plenty far” don’t provide a lot of insight. Also asking a group of people will result in a lot of answers. As was said go see someone that can fit you. Prior to going prepare your story to explain things like your goals, where you miss, what kind of ball flight you want, and budget. 4 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 5-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54-10S 588 58-12 Putter: Directed Force 2.1 Backups: 6330, TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, mFGP2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB13 7,782 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If you plan on competing in college, you need the best equipment for your game. That said, see a reputable fitter!! The competition at an elite amateur level is razor thin. You need to be fit to have the best opportunity to win. 2 Quote Wilson Staff C300 9.0* Fujikura Pro 58 stiff Callaway Rogue 3W Mitsubishi Diamana D+ LTD 80 stiff Mizuno MP-18 MMC FLI-HI 2 iron UST Mamiya Recoil 95 stiff Ping I200's 4-W Aerotech Steelfiber I110 CW stiff Ping Glide 52* and 58* stiff Bettinardi Studio Stock #38 Armlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkev 25,172 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I would think your college coach would be a great resource here, him or the pro at the place your high school team practices. It’s a big ask for us to help because we don’t know your game much at all. Consider the equipment difference among guys on tour for a moment.

SteddyGolf 1,883 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Lots a great companies out there making equipment these days. I recommend doing some research for demo days in your area. Demo days are usually conducted on driving ranges so the performance feedback will be a little more usable. I believe you could probably make your way through all the major brands in less than a month. If you earn your way onto a college team there will be greater opportunity for custom fitting. Good luck. Remember...... you have to believe to achieve. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH1980MN 940 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 If you haven't already, maybe you could start a thread on your journey as a college golfer- I'm sure many of us would enjoy a peak into the life of a student athlete.
