What type of irons are best suited for a new golfer shooting around 100 for 18 holes.?

Question

You answered this question a week ago or so, but I forgot to write down your specific answer. I have been offered to buy a used set of irons by Titlest (DTI) I believe. They feel pretty good but I think your answer suggested something else for people who shoot around 95-100. I know the people trying to sell my the clubs just want to sell their clubs, so I really need some guidance.

Answer 1

Get whatever you can hit best.

Answer 2

There are a couple of questions I would ask myself. 1. How often and how serious am I going to play this game (how often will you practice). 2. How much can I afford. The reason I would ask these questions of myself is because if I am going to play & practice often I would buy a set designed for a mid handicap golfer if I don't want to purchase a new set 1-2 years from now. If I am going to play recreationally or I can afford to buy another set in 1-2 years then I would suggest a more foregiving set to start.

Most (depends on type and year) DTIs are a very good mid to low handicap irons. I would recommend them if you plan to practice / play consistenly and you only want to buy 1 set of clubs in the next 1-2 years.

If you are playing recreationally or can afford to buy another set in 1-2 years, I might recommend a couple different sets.
1. Callaway Big Bertha Irons (or new wide sole)
2. Ping Rapture or ISI (older model)
3. Adams golf Idea Irons / hybrids (easy to hit)

If you have the budget and are serious, consider getting fitted as well. Golf pros don't use off the rack clubs, they are all custom fitted for a reason. Because it really is necessary to hit the ball consistenly and in control.

Good luck!

Answer 3

(Did you mean Titleist DCI?)

I hate to say this but it really does come down to money. If money is no object, there may be better choices for you.

Additionally, you have not said how much they want for the clubs. You DO want to get a great deal on the clubs. A good resource is Golfsmith.com, check out the prices for the set you are looking at and go lower from there. Also, check EBay to see if the price is in line with what you are going to spend on these.

A note before I go on. Just remember that equipment will only take you so far. The BEST way to lower yoiur score is lessons, range time, and playing. To point, think of what a PGA tour pro can do with those clubs verses one of us. You can see that the equipment will only do so much for you.

Lastly, how much do you play? If you play a LOT then a larger investment makes sense. However, if you are only playing 5 times a year then you may not want to invest so much.

There is nothing wrong with those irons, but you may benefit from a more game improvement iron. If you are planning on playing a lot, and you can afford it, Taylormade (TM) and Callaway (CW) make great game improvement irons.

CW Fusion
Almost any set from Nicket

Also, if you can substitute your higher irons (3,4, etc..) with hybrids, you will hit them much better, and they can help you stick to the green on a longer shot.

REVIEW: The clubs are good if you are getting them for a good price, and you are short on funds. However, if you have the money, and will use them more, buy a more game improvement iron.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Ask your golf pro or local golf shop for a set of game improvement clubs (typically cavity back with offset). Most brands offer such a set and the ones I see most often are Cobra, Callaway, Taylormade and Ping. Perhaps as important as the brand you buy is to make sure you are properly fit for your set. An on course golf shop will often have a fitting cart that a pro can use on the range to fit your loft, lie, shaft length, flex, etc.

Answer 5

for a beginner i think the wilson staffs would be a good choice. i started playing the game when i turned 38 yrs. old and now 47 and they still hit just as good as the first day i used them.. they will also be cheaper than the taylor mades and so on, still a good set of clubs.

Answer 6

Definately get the Taylormade r7 Draw cvombo set. They have 3 and 4 hybrids, draw-weighted technology, lotls of offset, *** cavity, high launch and lotls of forgiveness.
