BigCountry17 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I am in the market for my first real set of irons and I am running into some issues. I have been fit multiple times by club specific and high end fitting centers as have came to the conclusion no one speaks the same language. I swing my 7 iron at 90 mph and this is not out of control swing is pushing 100. I am newish to golf but the swing has been consistent in my fittings. So I don’t mind game improvement irons but I don’t want a 200 yard 7 iron which is what I hit the t300 I was fitted into. So just looking for advice. Thinking about trying a better club ie players and just focusing on getting better. Ideas comments opinions? Micah T and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Link to comment
Chip Strokes Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 i’m in a very similar position to you. i started golfing a few months ago with hand me down clubs and i have a high handicap but exceptionally high swing speed. i swing my 7i 105-110mph. the first fitter i went to heard my handicap and immediately fit me for GI irons. like you, i don’t see any reason to have a 215yd 7i. my advice to you is to truly take stock of how seriously you want to take getting better. if you just want to play some recreational golf, GI irons will definitely mask a lot of mishits and will allow you to enjoy the game. what i decided to do was get fit for clubs that my game can grow into. if you’re dedicated to getting better, that route is going to serve you for the next handful of seasons at least. sirchunksalot, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and GolfSpy_SHARK 3 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment
Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 You probably will be better off on a players set since your SS is so fast and that would cause some odd flyers. ON top of that, if you are committed to getting better, learning on hard to hit clubs will teach you (or frustrate you so much you want to quit). twyatt700, Chip Strokes and BigCountry17 3 Quote Follow my journey to enjoying golf and going low Driver: Epic Max LS Ventus Black 6x 44.5" 3wHL: Rogue ST LS 75x Tensei AV Blue w/ xlink 7w: Apex UW 21* MMT 80S DI: Caley 01X 18* with KBS PGH Stiff plus 95g 4-AW: 0211 with KBS Tour Stiff 2.5* up 3/4" long, Soft stepped, MOI matched Wedges Zipcore Putter: L.A.B.

BigCountry17 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 I loose a lot of strokes on the short game and I really don’t want to have a 160 yard PW that’s a lot of yardage to deal with with my weakest clubs. That’s why I would rather be shorter. Also mountain courses in NC rarely get over 6500 from the tips. Quote Link to comment

The number on the bottom of the club is completely irrelevant. It doesn't matter if it says 7, 8 or 9 to get to the yardage as long as you know which of your clubs goes that far. A good fit will fill in the gaps to fit the high and low end of your bag to avoid overlaps. Look for consistency, similar strikes, similar flight, and smallest dispersion on landing area - distance isn't the main focus. If a Game Improvement iron provides the best metrics and tightest dispersion then it helps smooth out any flaws that exist. If you get the same dispersion with a players cavity back then go for that. 00sportsman, GolfSpy_SHARK and JohnSmalls 3 Quote Golf is simple - people are complicated. 5w Taylormade SLDR S 19* - 220yd, Ping G2 5-U - 190-105, Maltby M+ 54* & MG 60* - 95-75, Evnroll ER8, Titleist 816 H1 4h 21*, Maltby 4 Hybrid Iron 24* - 210-200, Callaway XR16 8* - 235 carry Link to comment

GolfSpy BOS Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 If you don’t want a 200 yard 7i just make a 3/4 swing. In all seriousness though this distance you hit each one if not the key, it’s ensuring your gapping is correct through the bag. For example I’m not *quite* as fast as you are but when I was fit for #CCC4 I went with a set GW (49* bent to 48*) and a specialty GW at 52*. This way I have consistent gaps through my bag and can have a club for any shot. Your 200 yard 7 iron will be just fine as long as your 8 iron isn’t 150. Good luck with whichever direction you go in!Here’s my gaps currently after a summer of golf: JohnSmalls, fozcycle, GolfSpy_SHARK and 2 others 5 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment
BigCountry17 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 That is my concern with gapping. hybrid is 235 it 7 iron is 200 or even 190 6 would be 215 or 205 5 would be 230 or 220 so no 4. then I will need a Pitching Gap approach sand and lob wedge to cover 160 and in my eyes with my poor shift game is not ideal.

jddaigneault Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Here’s what I would think about, given my 7 iron carry is 190: 1. Play with the length of your clubs, especially in the metalwoods. I play my clubs .5” short. You find the center of the face more, clubhead speed drops, shots don’t go as far (which means misses don’t go as far either). 2. Get the lofts checked. Often times a 7 iron may carry 200, but the spin numbers and descent angle aren’t ideal for how we use a 7 iron. Distance doesn’t matter as much as those two. Whether it goes 160 or 190, I want my 7 iron to have some stopping power. I play all my irons 1* weak. 3. Get lessons. I once had a fitter tell me, “you’re going to become a really good golfer when you can learn to hit your pitching wedge 135 yards”. A normal pitching wedge is about 145-150 for me. As the great Earl Woods once told a young Tiger, “swing as hard as you can, so long as you can guarantee you hit the center of the club face”. If a fitter is pointing you towards GI irons, you can probably benefit from swinging slower and improving your ball striking. You can always get faster as you improve. russtopherb, Micah T, Haggerty and 6 others 9 Quote Taylormade M5 Driver Cobra F9 3 Wood Srixon ZX5 4-6 Iron Srixon ZX7 7-PW Taylormade MG2 Wedges 50/55/60 Taylormade Spider X Putter Link to comment

Pandaman Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 My take on this... It depends WHY a player is a high handicap as to whether GI clubs are a benefit over blades etc. If they hit it out the middle every time, but they aim badly, 3 putt everything, and have poor strategy then even the most forgiving clubs won't help. If they struggle with making good, or at least consistent, contact then SGI clubs can help. BNewton51, fixyurdivot and GolfSpy_SHARK 3 Quote Link to comment

However I also are not a fan of strong lofts. Mizuno 919 hotmetal and the Cobra F-Max are two that offer weaker lofts 44-45* on PW and 30-31.5* on 7 irons. What you might want to do is 6-AW(50*) and then add 3 addition wedges to cover from100yrds to AW length. The worst I have found with strong lofts are Taylormade. However it is interesting to read the reviews that say that even though they are strong lofted they do not necessarily go further.

I strike the clubs well and height is not an issue as I currently fly my 7 135 high. I loose strokes off the tee and on approach shots so iron play of about a 10 or less handicap at least that is what most people I play with or go get lessons with tell me. I guess I’m looking for permission to by a better club. Haha Firebird, GolfSpy_SHARK and BNewton51 3 Quote Link to comment

I loose strokes off the tee and on approach shots so iron play of about a 10 or less handicap at least that is what most people I play with or go get lessons with tell me. I guess I’m looking for permission to by a better club. Haha Great! Now you have some insights on what to look for as you try new clubs.

The debate this off season is try to get a 48 in the SM7 or go with the 790 set....kind of leaning vokeys way Yeah, I’m counting on that 48 to come close to replacing the A wedge i had in the MAVRIK. It was 47 i think snd it was my fsvorite club in the set. I was automatic with it from 80 yards (3/4 swing) to 105 yards (full swing). I mean if i didn’t get it with on 10 to 15 feet from those distances, it was very unusual. fozcycle, BNewton51 and GolfSpy_SHARK 3 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment
