I chipped in a shot from a sand trap to get a birdie the other day. It was on the 9th hole and put me at 9 over par. Which means I played boggie golf.
I'm thinking about getting some new irons. I currently using somebody's grandpa's irons. I was thinking about getting Callaway knock-offs (integra I-drive). I need some advise.
Should I get steel or graphite shafts?
Should I get them frequency matching?
Spine allignment?
If I get all of that done it comes up to about $230. This icludes custom size for my short stature.
Is that a good deal?
What do you think?

don't rush into anything with clubs. It sounds like you are doing a great job working on your mechanics with the clubs that you have. You may want to check around your area for a demo day and try out some "real" clubs. Also, my dad bought my set off ebay which were straight out of the bag and the guy just didn't like the feel (hence going to demo days or trying the clubs out). Whatever you do, make sure you try the clubs out before buying them as it is a long term investment that will affect you from that point on. This argument also validates purchasing a good set of clubs as they can be yours forever if they fit well. I would say that you would have to shorten your shafts for your height and proper swing. The shaft material usually depends on your swing speed, I have to have steel or even X shafts while finesse swingers use graphite (more flex to whip the ball). The best I can recommend is find a reputable golf pro and get a lesson to have him tell you what he thinks you need or go out and find a demo day or your local driving range/club may have some clubs to demo. If you need any help shopping or anything let me know and I would be glad to help out. The best thing is to take your time and get the best that you can afford and enjoy how the clubs play!!
I'm in full agreement with Agent.
It's probably best to shop around. If nothing else, borrow your friends clubs just to see how they hit.
thanks a lot, guys. I'm definately not a graphite guy and it'll be some time before I can drop the cash. I'll definately shop around.
I am also in the market for clubs, but specifically woods and mainly a driver. Don't know if it is mental, length, offset, face or other issue but I always seem to hit someone else's driver much better than my own. The larger the face, the better off I seem to do, especially when the face as a large vertical plane. I have a problem getting under my woods off the tee.
