Golfed in high school (for a very bad team) so my scores were not that great.But I am ok at golf.l dont try to shape shots at all (fade or draw).As it is now, l think l have something around a 20handicap.l feel that a new set of clubs can help my game (for a pt. of reference l hit my 5-iron about 180-210) .l dont ever hit my 3 or 4 for a lack of consistency with them.My question is should l go with super game improving irons or just game improving irons.As it is now l dont carry any hybrids (maybe l should start but l just feel wrong with em)..... I've been thinking about theCallaway X20's..... any advice??
... yes there are categories, at least according to Golf Digest they rank their irons in three categories... Game Improving, Super Game Improving and Tour.... by the way l do hit my 5-iron that far, l failed to mention its when l tee off (sorry)
geez l put a range that l hit my 5-iron from the tee... i've hit it over 220 from the tee and probably as low as 160... l was just trying to give a range of where l feel most my well struck 5 irons go (yes including roll).... i've also hit 300 yd drives (total distance) but am more around a 260-275 when l hit that damn club well

First of all, u do not hit a 5 iron farther than the pros. Let is get things in the right perspective.. There is no set of irons which is game- improving. That can only come with an improved swing, understanding that swing so u can self correct & much practice. Once u have developed the swing which suits u rythym, u will find u r hitting more consistent shots with every club. First rule : Do not over swing !! Practice hitting that ball on the center of the club face. Center hits go straighter & farther.

Distance is measured by how far u hit it in the air. So r u hitting a 5 iron on a par 3 that is 210 yards? As far as clubs, this question is asked so often that it becomes redundant. There r so many to choose from so try them all out. l do not like the appearance of any Callaway iron other than the X-Tour. l am not saying they're not good clubs, but l do not care for the irons. By ur own admission, you're not a low handicap player, so it would not be a choice for you(the X-Tour). Ping makes excellent equipment as well as Nike, Cobra, TaylorMade, & others. So go to ur local golf shop & try out all these brands. Since u have the Golf Digest Magazine, try out the brands they suggested. l prefer Nike, but l have hit other equipment(Ping, Mizuno, & TaylorMade). You wo not go wrong with any of the choices mentioned.

l have a set of X-20 is that l love.

With the distance you can hit the ball, perhaps you should consider the X-20 Tour (as long as money is not an issue).

If you are also looking at woods, then try the X-Series Woods.

And there is nothing wrong with hybrids; almost every player carries one nowadays. And 65% of tour players carry one and 80% on the Champions Tour.

Good luck, and l hope this helps.

googie.. u da man! (210yds. 5 iron .lol )

Googie makes a lot of good points to which l am going to add to.
