Everyone,
About the end of last year (playing on frozen fairways in ID) a strange
phenomenon occurred with my irons - I started hitting them sky high. It
has also carried to this year. In the old days my 8 iron was my 145-150
club with a very high ball flight. Suddenly it became my 125 club. I
have lost two clubs distance across the board. The accuracy is about
the same, and I still have the same slight fade. The driver is
basically the same at about 240-250 on average. Of course some misses
and also crushes. I have never had a lick of instruction (as my 15
handicap would suggest), so I don't know why, and am still leery of
seeking instruction as a don't know if I could learn a new swing anyway.
So, since I am a knuckle head and want to buy a game, I will try to fix
the problem with equipment. I remember an experiment Bernie did with
some Catapults, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with
some irons that may meet my two criteria.
1. Lower ball flight
2. Forgiving, specifically reducing slice.
I like the look of the Catapult, but I wasn't sure about the flow
weighting. It seems to contradict what Tom W. preaches regarding heal
weight to help close the face. Bernie, do your long irons have a face
bias?
Thanks for any input.
Brian
