Hi. I seem to be having a few problems with my G10 irons.
I have been playing regular (2,3 or 4 times a week) and feel like although my overall game has improved, handicap from 22, now to 15 from may this year to today.
The irons were custom fit for myself when I played about once a month a few years ago, when the g10's were the new range.
I'm not sure about the measurements but they are all green dot. With this set I bought a g10 driver 12.5* regular flex which was suggested to me by the club pro(who did all my fitting at Gainsborough). Once I played more regular and got a better swing it was clear to see that I was losing distance but gaining height from the tee. I hunted for a new a driver and chose Taylormade superfast burner2.0 stiff shaft 10*. My driver has once again improved my driving 10 fold. So I purchased the matching rescue 18* and it's had the same effect from the fairway.
I can hit my driver sweet about 230-250 carry and my rescue about 190-210 carry. With these new Taylormade woods it has made me question my iron play and distance control. I know that when I'm on top of my game and hitting it sweet iused to hit my 7iron 150-160 yards. Now I'm lucky if I make it to 140. And each club throught to SW is like that. I also seem to getting a lot more fade when I hit my bad shot.
I think that my irons are more of a hindrance at the moment as they just feel heavy and lack distance. Would this be down to my swing being more consistent and hopefully better?!
I don't know if I need stiff shafts, graphite shafts, different brand? I will try a few out in the next few months but wanted a few pointers or help with my distance loss!!
I did own a set of Calloway big Bertha irons 04, graphite shafts and they were the sweetest and best irons I have ever played with. In my mind I keep wanting to revert back to graphite shafts but you don't really see a lot of people using them and I don't know why?
