Would you?

[Sats]

Lost my 8 iron and severely irritated at this; tried to find a replacement but it's weary as the clubs I'm using are 8 years old, so my options are:


1: Cheaper clubs say Mizuno MP-H5 @ £399 then get them adjusted if necessary later on.

or

2: Save more money get fully fitted at the time clubs say Callaway Apex but it will take another 3-4 months saving?

or

3: Wait and trawl through ebay etc looking for a replacement 8 iron?

Just play without the 8 iron. Most times you probably won't even notice it's not there.

Yes I would then.

I'd say it depends. Do you have the feeling that you are due new irons anyway and the lost 8 iron is a welcome excuse? Then I'd say save up for the full fitting and treat yourself to a set you are truly convinced about. If your old irons perform well and the missing 8 iron is the only reason you are considering a change then try to get a replacement through ebay or Golfbidder or even take your current set to a fitter and let him help you to figure out a way to bend the remaining clubs a bit to close the gap.

Why don't you hold out for an 8 iron....but save in the mean time

Then if an 8 iron doesn't come up....You'll have the cash for a new set anyways?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

If you like your set then ebay is your friend.

Option A, £399 is not really a cheap option so if you really want the Callaways then wait and save. You don't want to be looking down on a £399 set of clubs and dislike them. After all, if you have to wait 3-4 months then this is the right time of year as the light drawing in reduces the amount of golf time anyway.

In answer to the follow up question, not for me but she seems very pleasant.

Treat yourself

If they are 8 years old then new clubs it is.

Stop mucking about, new clubs 🏌

 

[Deleted member 21784]

I would go to my local pro and get him to source me an 8 iron whilst on the side start saving for a new fitted set

 

[Farmergeddon]

If you love your set that much just buy a whole set second hand, 8 year old clubs cant be that expensive, then you have ready replacement if you misplace or break another..

 

[Crazyface]

I've given this much thought...and I don't think I would actually.

 

[Deleted member 21258]

8 years old is nothing, assuming cast clubs etc.

I would be looking for another 8 iron, if I am happy with the current clubs.

It was interesting that this thread was immediately below the 'Sharipova' one - until I posted this of course!
