What did your handicap do after changing irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing the impact new irons had on their game and handicap. WRXer ‘2Down’ kicks off the thread with his recent experience, saying
“I changed Irons a bit ago, and while I haven’t seen a huge change, I believe things have stayed the same, and that’s a good thing.
First and foremost I have maintained a fairly low handicap as I age. I think that, in a similar fashion, while I’m not longer with driver X from nowadays compared to the ago days. Driver I am near as long as I once was. Modern drivers have helped me stay long, so far. Now I believe the same is true with my irons, modern distance drivers and irons have helped me.”
And our members have been sharing their different experiences in our forum.
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.
- Jamie_Tee: “Gained 2 strokes per round. More shaft than head, but I’ve got a combo that allows me to hit the shots I see.”
- Spankapotomusredux: “Cobra F9 OL. Dropped my handicap from 24 to 19 since March of this year. Regularly hitting the mid 80s this year for the first time in 20 years. Not fair to put it solely on iron play, however. I updated my whole bag when I started playing regularly again for the first time in a few years.”
- North Butte: “My handicap is three strokes lower than it was four months ago, that was when I most recently changed irons. There’s been more going on than just that equipment change, though. I’ve adopted a slightly different way of playing short game shots in that same time frame. Taking a couple golf lessons for the first time since before COVID has to have helped, as well. But I’d say, conservatively, there surely has to be at least a stroke or so of that improvement due to the clubs. Not enough to get excited about but it ain’t nothing!”
- Jifmoli: “No change. Went from SGI clubs to GI clubs but hc stayed the same. I did drop 9 strokes last year but that’s because I found a golden tip for chipping.”
- lefthack: “Nothing, but my level of enjoyment has improved 3 points.”
