I am aware this is a controversial subject. I have only been playing five minutes, and want to know what you guys think. I have been advised by some that you can just use a 6/7/8 iron, and it will do the same thing. From my limited experience I have found that I can use my PW from about 100/80 yards, and then use a 6/7/8 iron from then on to pitch and run, until I get to about 20 yards from the green. I then either chip the ball about 5 feet, or send it to the back of the green or beyond. Having read up on the subject, some say they are a golf club sent from heaven, and others say they are a waste of money. The advantage being that they are a lot shorter than a 7 iron, and therefore psychologically help you play a different shot. Anyway, I have just won one on ebay for £4, and am going to give it a go. Incidentally, it is going to replace my 3 iron, which never comes out of the bag.
So, what are your experiences and thoughts ?
