Slacker and Whiner
Alright, Josh has seen my game and Andy has dealt with my swing a wee bit
This is a basic irons related? To play GI or whatever I'm comfy with?
After a lesson in the spring and many hours, I finally started being able to hit irons, before it was hit or miss with any SGI club. I became to love irons and quickly went for more blade-like irons, played Mizunos, and have tried darn near every one out. After Ping s59, 58, I ended up getting the S57's and I truly do love them. I feel they look and play right for me and I am finally mostly content with my irons. When I setup to a GI iron, such as G10, Callys, AP1, etc, I actually feel more intimidated for some reason.
My head also tells me to play GI irons, but for the life of me I can't seem to "gel" with them and I've tried many. Now any club longer than an 8 iron is ok and doesn't bother me, but 8 and shorter I am mindblocked for some reason. I know it has to do with only playing smaller heads and thinner lines this year.
I have read and read many places, shows, etc and there are two obvious sides: GI and you'll lower scores, blades/similar, help with ballstriking and accuracy. I believe in both theories and likely always will. I plan to play at least 3 or more times a week and be at the range the other days this upcoming season, in all likliehood I'll be hitting balls 6 days a week luckily. I have a solid instructor here (told me much of what you did as well Andy, so we're on the right track that way) and he works with me all the time, whether it be a 2 minute helper or full lesson.
MY head is there for the game, I understand it, the basics, the needs, and obstacles. 99/100 shots when I approach them I feel confident and know how I should play it and expect to pull the shot off, however that doesn't always happen. I do fall back on old habits, but am working my rear off to break them once and for all. This late summer I could walk out and shoot high 80's or low 100's still, but my intention is to shoot low 90's consitently this summer and continue to develop my swing. As we spoke Andy, I am a feel player. Tell me techie on the range and I cannot put it into practice until I work on it. I do know pretty good on how or what I did wrong I think.
So, try to switch to GI irons or stick with what I like and feels good to me and let the game develop that way? I think the irons I play now will truly make me a better striker and my mi****s are getting farer and fewer in between. A bad swing or hit is not what I am trying to cover up, basically I want to get away from all bad swings of course.
Thanks bro.
