Needing help for which irons to buy ?????

[JamiegolfB]

currently a tennis player/coach, however have slowly started playing more and more golf aswell (last 6 months)
im going round in scores around 98, with pretty poor clubs, and without knowing too much about technique.

i would love to push for a score around 85 over the next two years (when im 20)

has anyone any information with which irons to get ??? (looking for accuracy over power)

Forget new irons - have a few lessons.

Get the basics nailed.

It doesn't matter what clubs you use when you're learning the game.

in all honesty i dont no my brother gave me his old clubs describing them as ****

 

[Imurg]

Well find out!!

YOu can't come on here asking for advice when you don't know what you've got in your bag!!

Seriously though - the above advice from AW is good. Go see a Pro, take along what you've got, show him what you can do and let him advise.

Is this thread for real

We've got a tennis coach asking how to improve his golf ?

How would you go about getting a keen youngster to improve their tennis ? Same ethos really

apparently some late 1980's pinseekers

Replace them when they break.

My last set of irons were 20 years old.

My replacement set were free.

If you play with any really good players - you'll notice that all of their clubs are very, very well used and almost certainly not the latest gear.

Holy Dooley Mate!!

Think you may need to dip into the market but see what the Pro says.

I'd say anything will do.
1) anything has got to be better than ancient pinseekers
2) if you have the same co-ordination as all the good/excellent tennis players I know, you'll be able to hit the ball sweet in not too long.

If you don't know much about clubs, there are a few types.
Without getting into a huge essay on this, find some "cavity" irons and if you are powerful (which is likely) see if you can get "stiff flex" shafts.
As for makes....Ping/Callaway/Mizuno/Wilson Staff/Taylor Made, whatever suits your eye. MD and Benross do cheaper stuff that's excellent quality too.

t.b.h. I'd go for some Mizunos, proper "players" clubs..

One of our junior golfers who plays tennis at a very high level has Mizuno MP irons with Dynamic Gold S300.
