If you want to go for these have a look at my thread, they are really amazing!

I just got back from my weekly 9 holes, where I used my new clubs for the first time. Taking into account the weather (it was quite windy and the greens were as soggy as sponges) it went unbelievably well. Before it was all about hitting and guessing, while with these irons most of the shots...

I definitely will, even if my comparison would be with '80s/'90s Ram irons from the perspective of a beginner. I should get them by Monday.

In the end I bought the irons and the putter for less than the sale price of the irons alone. And the Nike returns policy is very generous IMHO - I can unwrap them, play with them, if I don't like them for any reason I can return them for free within 60 days. Well, I hope for decent weather...

I spent some time on the Nike website and I noticed there are quite a few golf-related items in the sale. Among the others, the Nike Vapor Fly irons - down to £299 with an additional 20% off (£240 then). I am well aware of Nike exiting the clubs/balls market, but I am tempted to buy them (and...

It was a couple of weeks I didn't swing a club, because of work commitments. If I were to play like I did at the range yesterday, all the doubts and rants wouldn't exist at all! I don't know how, but I managed to get exactly what I wanted almost every time with all the clubs (except the driver...

I just caught up with all the answers after I left for holiday (sorry, acceding the forum from its webpage is dreadful), and I got even more information to work on in the coming days/weeks. Thanks again to all who replied, I will be heading to the course and the range very soon trying to put all...

I will start doing this from the next time I am going at the range. It gives a lot more sense to the range :D

I forgot mentioning, still six lost balls but out of 18 holes.

So, off I went and I report a scorecard of 89 shots, but missing four snag holes, where I completely lost the plot of the game and I stopped counting. If I would have managed to get an average of +2 (all the other holes range from +1 to +3 except for a +5 and a +4 due to putting mistakes) the...

Interesting, I didn't get at all I could discard scores while playing for getting a handicap. This looks a more achievable target, in this terms.

Thanks everybody for the answers. Great to see I am not alone in this :) Keeping up with the lessons is a must, I still have 2hrs (four lessons) left from a package I bought and I'll surely keep scheduling them on a monthly basis. All the suggestions are really helpful, I'll try going out...

It is almost a year I approached this amazing sport. I started literally from zero, and now I am going around the course, which is an achievement on its own. But... Yesterday I had my usual 8 holes after work. Aside from the fact that getting a par looks almost impossible and - without counting...

They were both annoyingly slow IMHO. And thinking about that, we can see the effects of their behaviour on our courses every time we are out...

Hi there! It happens to me too I'm afraid. In the last lesson my pro slightly changed my address position: much nearer the ball with the elbow almost touching the chest, and a shorter perceived backswing. That was mostly because of an excessive downswing strength. It seemed to work last Tuesday...
