I'm looking for a new set of irons for $500-$700 Cdn. What brands are the best value for the money?
I currently am hitting a set of imitation Ping Zing 2 clubs that are quite old. I hit my long irons comparatively long and straight compared to the average golfer, however I hit my short irons a mile into the sky, and comparatively short and with a bit of fade which I would like to correct.
I'd like to hear a few people's suggestions. Thanks!

The best answer to this question is to go to your local golf pro and get fitted. This will give you the chance to hit a wide variety of different clubs from different makers and the pro will be able to measure you and your swing to determine the specs you will need, ie. length,loft,lie,shaft flex etc. A set of clubs are like a pair of shoes. You don't need a size 10 if your feet are size 12. Also, your local pro is trained to do this properly by the PGA and by different club companies. The service is free with a purchase. Good Luck.

you're asking the incorrect question. Byron Nelson replaced into requested if he ought to have performed extra useful with hollow area subsidized golf equipment. He suggested it did not make any distinction because he hit the ball interior the middle of his club. you may income extra from some classes, short recreation and putting prepare. in case you'll get 225 off the tee, on a 6,000 backyard direction, you should manage to break ninety. you're 15 to twenty-5 strokes over that score. you're an inconsistent ball striker, possibly do not have a reliable short recreation, take too many putts and that is what you want to manage first. New golf equipment received't help in case you won't be able to sq. up your club at impression. Golfsmith is interior the corporation of promoting golf kit, no longer recuperating your golf recreation. i'm sixty 5 and an above the knee amputee and that i shoot interior the low 80's, at situations interior the 70's. i do not prepare sufficient to be continually interior the 70's. after I do prepare I spend a million/3 skill recreation hitting golf equipment on the determination, a million/3 on short recreation prepare which contains sand traps and a million/3 on the putting eco-friendly with plenty ot time on 3 foot to eight foot putts. How do you prepare? I too hit the ball 225 to 250 off the tee. I carry 4 metals: a million,3,5,7. I actually have s 5 hybrid, 6-9 iron, 4 wedges, LB, PW, GW, SW and a putter. For me it truly is a waste of time attempting to hit 2-4 irons. My 7metal I hit about one hundred seventy 5. My 5 hybrid I hit one hundred sixty 5. both considered a kind of golf equipment are more straightforward to hit than lengthy irons off the golf eco-friendly and out the not undemanding and fairway traps. more advantageous than you want to draw close. If I were you, i ought to maintain on with the great Berthas and artwork on your recreation first and get new golf equipment later. only the different of what they informed you at Golfsmith, excellent?

The new Ping irons are very nice. As are the Nike Slingshot and the Taylor Made R7 irons.

I swear by TaylorMade irons... see if you can find a used set of RAC OS on eBay... they are awesome and great if you are fighting a fade!!
