Stephen not about to offer any advice, others are more educated on this subject, but just shows that once you can play golf then any kit can do it regardless of modern tech etc

Darren,

I have yet to come across any irons better than my 1960s blades. It was not all 'spit and sawdust' in the olden days.

P.S. I also recall that golf gloves were then generally better made.

Sanders, your not hearing stories about my glove from yesterday or a very expensive glove I previously owned that lasted 3 rounds.

Darren,

I keep telling you chaps about my 'little black book,' and possibly everyone considers it to be a joke. But is it?

Stephen what clubs are you currently using? I just checked out the Diablo edge on their website ,and to be honest they look awful , I'm sure you are a better player than those irons the big bertha Diablo's look a hell of a lot better.

Stephen,

Those are really aimed at players with a higher handicap than yours. I just bought Titleist 710 CB's and they're fantastic (apart from the 7 iron which is putting up a stubborn resistance for some reason!). The AP2 are also very good if you want something a little more forgiving. Also Mizuno MP62 and MP58 are very good, as are Nike VR split cavity. Those are all forged and I am a little biased because having used forged I wouldn't go to a cast head again.

I suggest getting out and trying a few, preferably on an open range. You'll soon find out what you do and don't like. When you have found the heads you like best, get fitted to make sure the shaft is right and the clubs are setup correctly
