Golf question

gigagolf.com is the equivalent of dell for golf clubs. i picked up the clones (i.e., replicas) of some calloways and my game has improved dramatically. i also picked up the clone calloway weighted driver they have and it improved my drive dramatically. most of all i think the thing is to get a driver with at least 11 - 12 loft. you sacrifice distance for accuracy, but its well worth it.
good luck out there on the links.

Depending on your finance a top end brand name would be best however if that is too expensive consider a clone. Clubs are very individual and you should try before you buy. For great forgiveness do consider Callaway X18's, Ping G5's, Taylormade RAC HT's.
Essentially you want a Perimeter weighted, cavity backed, over sized iron. You probably will want graphite senior shafts and you will do well to substitute Hybrids for the 3, 4 & 5 irons. I highly recommend the Taylormade Rescue dual Hybrids of 22 & 25 degrees in graphite. But go to a place where you can hit demos of these clubs off grass. Hitting clubs off mats does not give you a true feel. Have a qualified reseller check you swing, and lie to determine the optimal shafts and setup for you.

If you want clubs that are a little more forgiving then you should go with the perimeter weighted irons. You will have a little more control and if you hit a bad shot you it is not always to bad. As for the make of the irons, it depends on how much you wan't to spend. Your better irons like titlest and talor made are more expensive. Mizuno irons are also pretty good and a little cheap then the top brand. You can look on golfsmith.com and it will give you all kinds of brands and prices. You can look at all the different styles also. hope you find what your looking for.

My husband reluctantly gave up his old steel shaft Ping irons for graphite shaft, cavity back Cobra irons and it made a big difference in his game - (easy to hit and very forgiving). He went from a 20+ to the mid-teens.
I use Ping G2s with stiff-flex steel shafts but am a single digit handicapper - but they fit my swing speed and tempo well. The reason I even say this is to show there is no -one-fits-all answer.
Best approach if you are serious about playing to your best, is to get your swing analyzed and then get fitted...happy golfing!

my advice would be to find something that looks appealing to your eye. Something that by the look of it makes you feel like you can hit it good. If cost isn't an issue then go to a Ping custom fitter and let them hook you up. them easy to hit over-sized irons are for lazy golfers who are worried more about looking good than having a good time playing. Now if that's you go for it.
If cost is more of an issue then I suggest finding something that looks good to you that has graphite shafts in a senior flex.

I would say Taylormade R7 CGB MAX irons. I hit them (even though I am a 9 Handicap) and i feel they are a great game improvement iron. Don't get Nike Slingshots - they are garbage. (Trust Me)

Go to a local golf club maker and fitter. They do not have to be name brand clubs.

I would suggest that you look at the Ping G5 irons. Good looking, easy to hit, good customer support from Ping, too.
