Why Is It That........

Seems that the general concensus on this thread is that falling for the marketing hype and buying those shiny new irons may make you feel good for a short while, but won't necessarily improve your game.
Where are the mods? this thread should be deleted.

I don't want to read stuff like this. I want my game improvements irons to cut my score from 110 to 90 with no extra work needed :cool:
 
When I came back to golf after a 20yr lay off I searched for the same clubs that I played with when I finished. I played to 9 with Mizuno tp11 blades. If I could use them then I know I can use them now. 1980's blades, just as good if not better than 2009 irons. I don't think clubs have come that far. Drivers have gotten bigger heads, but I don't hit them any further than I did back then. Are the new Ping G15's that much different than the Ping eye 2's. I have never seen a club yet that doesn't tout longer and straighter and yet we still fall for the hype.
 
Having read all of the above, I'm a little surprised at the number of peeps that have changed irons and found little or no difference.

A year ago, I decided I wanted a change from my ageing Ping Zing2's, which I had used for about 12yrs or so, and had been off 12 for most of that time.
The only ones that I really liked the look of, and felt good, were the Titleist AP2's, so thats what found their way into my bag, topped off with a couple of Vokey Spin Milled Wedges.
Here I am, a year later, having finally reached my lifelong target of Single Figures (9.3), and a lot of the credit goes to the clubs.
Initially, I struggled to find my distances, but after a 2/3month settling in, I just find I am hitting crisper shots with them and putting the ball where I want it to go.
Sure they dont all come off, but thats golf.

For me, changing my irons was the best thing for my golf, and even now @ 47, I'm palying some of the best golf of my life.
Happy Bunny here... :cool:
