Forum Thread of the Day: “Guys that shoot under par, what clubs do you use?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from BiggEm, who asks those GolfWRX members that happen to break par consistently, what clubs they use. Driver and irons are the clubs in question which BiggEm is interested in hearing about, and as well as many posters submitting the clubs they use, an interesting debate regarding “arrow vs archer” has developed, as well as general playing tips from posters while out on the course.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- cm24: “5 years ago, When I was actually playing really well (for me), and I was in the +2 handicap range I was playing a set of Mizuno mp68 irons. Sold those for AP2s and never have brought my game back. I went thru 8 sets of irons over the three years after I sold the Mizunos and finally settled on a set of Srixon z965s. I think those under par days are coming back, my birdies are going up as my proximity to the hole is going thru the roof, and it’s leading to confidence across my game.”
- SASpeeder: “Not shooting under par quite as regularly anymore but still gaming the same equipment. Driver: Taylor M2 9.5” 2016 model with Diamana BF 60TX shaft. Irons: Miura CB1008 with KBS $Taper S+ shafts”
- u2hockey14: “Adam Scott went back to his Titleist 910D3 this year due to accuracy issues, and he started to play better instantly. The bottom line is, for accomplished players, if you find a driver you can hit straight and are confident with it, stick with it. The extra 4-8 yards you get with “today’s” technology isn’t worth giving up that confidence and accuracy.”
- leejohnkieh: “I’ve recently gotten my scores back down to even/under par after I got rid of drivers that didn’t work. For me, it’s all about feel and look. I went from 910d2 to a 17′ M1 to an M2 then to an M3 and now to the Ts3 in a span of 3 years. Tried every shaft known to man and I just could not get by round after round with TM drivers. Wildly inconsistent. I’d play tourneys not knowing where my driver was gonna go that day.”

As a scratch golfer for 25+ years , I’ve played cast, forged, cavity back, and muscleback irons, the club’s didn’t matter but the skill level you acquire to use them effectively to string together shots to score. Metal woods have made it easier to hit fairways and the newer irons fly straighter. the wedges are better but the biggest difference in scoring has been the ball. It’s longer and flyes straight but it not as good around the greens as balls 20 years ago.

Is the shaft flex more important than the iron heads for your skill level? If your shaft was wrong flex/weight could you still play par golf? Also could you play your old TM Pittsburgh Persimmon driver with the tiny head as well as the current 460cc Ti cans on a stick? Congrats on your performance longevity.

I use 917d3 10.5, 910f 17, vapor pro combo 2 iron, be pro combo 4 thru PW and 54/60 engage wedges.
Important club is the Odyssey mxm no9 prototype putter though.
Not a regular sub par player but certainly shot several under par rounds this year

Yes… “slander” on this forum is “reality” and “truth”… while the “love-besotted” gearheads circle jerk on the main forum. Thank you for this fair and fine forum provided by the fine folks at GolfWRX.
