Morning all!
I bought some clubs second hand 10 years ago from a scratch golfer who was switching to blades. Someone on here mentioned that they may not be very suited to a beginner (I haven't actually used them in the last decade!), and I was hoping for some opinions on these clubs.
They are Cleveland TA5 irons, 3i - PW.
They are cavity back clubs, not blades, but I noticed that the club heads are a lot smaller than my friends clubs (a new cheap set of Dunlops from Sports Direct).
When I catch it right (not often!) I get better distance than my playing partners. I don't know if this is good or not compared to experienced golfers, but my 3i off the (slightly elevated) tee can go around 180 to 200 yards. Unfortunately I'm still very much a begginner, so I hit more off target than on target, so measuring distance is difficult over 18 holes. I might only hit 2 or 3 on the fairway!
Will a bigger club head make much of a difference, or am I just looking for an excuse for the cricket score I put up last time out?
Any opinions welcomed, thanks!
