I consider myself to be a pretty decent golfer. I hit plenty of good shots throughout a round, I am capable of a birdie at any time (though usually it ends up being a bogey) — what hurts my scoring, like many others, is the lack of consistency. 2 tee shots sliced OB, thinking or chunking 3 shots a round, a handful of “good misses”…
I’m playing the Callaway Apex 21 irons. They’re a step “above” Game Improvement, but they aren’t the Apex Pros for the really good golfers. I love my irons and have no issue with them, but randomly wondered today: should I be playing Game Improvements?
I wanted so badly to “graduate” from those, but if I’m not a golfer who can shape my shot — and I’m playing the same fade on every shot — would GI irons help mitigate those 3 chunk/skulls each round? Make other mis-hits more forgiving? Said another way: at my skill level, is there any downside to GIs?
I don’t plan on replacing my irons regardless of the feedback I see to this post, but more so I was just wondering if perhaps, I let my ego get in the way of what might help me score best.
