Bernie, I appreciate your response. What I was trying to do is solicit: A: 1st some traffic here B: an idea of what people are playing and why
As far as your questions: With this new set, I may be trying heads outside the norm of what I prefer, and also what common knowledge leads to. I have an awful tendency to pull irons (as well as all other clubs), and when I do not, I still hit a hook. Swing path is distinctly inside to outside., Historically I have preferred to play minimal offset heads (Chicago 944DB and Toski Classic). Traj has been messed up by my awful swing. In the past. All shots were high, now only short irons are high (when I say high, I mean NASA picks them up). Thinking of trying some items outside of the norm (ie: an large offset with a large cavity back). My tendency is to catch the ball on the downward stroke low on on the heel. Mark Bernie Baymiller wrote: > Mark, > > What are your objectives and preferences for your irons?
