I am returning to golf after about 12 years and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I believe I am striking the ball better and more consistently than I ever have before.
My irons are Cobra SSi which were custom fitted about 15 years ago and I have a Taylor Made Burner Driver and 5 wood from about c.1999. The irons have been well looked after and could probably just use some new grips. I am going to get the lie checked as they originally had a 2 degree toe up when they were fitted and I am sure my swing has changed (hopefully for the better).
The grips on the driver and 5 wood really need replacing as even after a good scrub they feel a bit slippy and I feel that I am having to grip them too tightly. The local pro shop said it’s probably a good time to think about changing the woods as the bubble shaft make it hard to regroup and technology has moved on so much in 20 years I could get some better for a reasonable price. It is also Christmas. So the question is what to replace them with? Replacing the 5 wood would be more value as I generally take the 3 wood instead of a driver.
I have been reading good things about the Cobra F8 which can be had for around £99 at the moment. I am going to go to the local pro shop and hit a few before buying but what other clubs should I be looking at. If that works out I may also look at the driver from the same range.
Any advice would be appreciated.
