Finally had my first proper iron fitting after playing for about a year and a half and gaming super game-improvement irons the whole time.

Got fit into the ZXi5 with 105 S shafts, then a couple days later I got insanely lucky and found the exact same setup being sold used near me at a great price.

Only have a few sessions with them so far, but my dispersion is already noticeably tighter and they feel way more consistent. But most importantly… they look sick 😂

Anyone else gaming Srixons or the same set? How are you liking them?

Found a member at my local course selling Srixon Z-Forged 3-P irons for $400. They’re first-gen, but in great condition and have stiff shafts.

I’m a 17 handicap, so I’m debating whether to:

- Buy them and game them
- Buy them and flip them locally/eBay
- Trade them for a Scotty Cameron Phantom 11R or Bettinardi Studio Stock 14

I’m fairly new to buying/selling clubs, so I’d love some input. What would you do?

Can’t wait to have the rest of the wedges show up🔥

Had this around 4 years now. Wasn’t sure how often people change them out?

Does the liquid core impact flight path?

First set of clubs after being curious about golf for years. Facebook marketplace can be pretty brutal with the dang resellers but I think I found and ok deal.

Titleist 905R 9.5 driver
Throw in golden bear 3 and 5 wood
Taylormade RAC OS Irons 3-9
Throw in golden bear PW (going to try to buy a single taylormade RAC PW to complete the set
Titleist 56 degree Vokey 256-12 (this one is almost as old as me lol)
Odyssey hot white #4 putter
Cheap ergonomix stand bag

Guy gave me a box of taylormade distance + balls and a bunch of extra tees.

New to me irons and driver (upgraded from 2004 Callaway Big Bertha)

Fujikura Ventus 6-x blue alignment stick and a New bag.

I’m a new golfer, I’ve got some Titleist DCI irons that I got off marketplace for $100. I plan to keep playing those for a while but I’m already looking at their replacements even if they sit in the closet for a while.

This miura/mizuno set is posted on marketplace locally for $350 and I’m a sucker for Japanese craftsmanship. That’s why I’ve been eyeballing them. I’ve got a seiko watch, all shimano fishing gear, Hondas etc. quality seems to be culture in Japan I’m always happy with their products.

However, I’ve learned of Maltby irons today. Forged iron sets, brand new, for a not so bad price. I also could get a game improvement set to compliment my experience level.

What do you guys think is the better choice? Am I letting my Japanese bias get in the way of an otherwise obvious answer? Or is the marketplace set a good bang for my buck?

Just started playing golf and looking for a full set I found this one and am wondering if it’s worth buying as a beginner.

Price Would Be $115

Club Specifics:
Driver, 3 Woods, 7 Irons, 3 Wedges, Putter

The lob wedge is 60°, driver is 9°, 3 wood is 15°, 5 wood is 18°. I don’t know the lofts of the iron set. It’s an older set so likely has standard lofts of a set from 2000.

6 iron had to be reshafted it’s a similar graphite shaft in regular flex.

All regular flex except woods being firm flex.

Saw someone sharing their note on how to do shot shaping and thought I'd put something together for anyone who wants to print one for themselves.

Personally I'm at the level where I'll use it in reverse, figuring out why the ball went off course the way it did, but for those working on intentional shaping I hope it proves useful.

Thats it

Yes, those are illegal grooves in the 56/60. No, I did not buy my putter from the $10 estate sale luckbox.

I’m new to golf, less than a year. How are my driver, 3 wood and 3 hybrid for being my first set? Will it get the job done lol
