Ok so the Corona has me a little stir crazy. I had been thinking about getting fit this spring and likely will when things open up again.
About me: 53 years old, 4 handicap. I was better about 10 years ago playing between 0-2 handicap. Back then I carried driver 250, 8 iron 150, 6i 175 and these were very comfortable distances. Driver SS was 105 and 6i was 92. Fast forward 10 years and I had a lengthy illness that has cost me SS. At the end of last season my driver SS was 93 and 6i 82. Driver carries about 215 and 6i 158.
I have been working in the gym all winter on flexibility, strength and admittedly somewhat inconsistent use of Superspeed due to travel and crappy weather. Right now not sure if I have picked up any speed or distance as I haven’t had the opportunity get out in a course in decent weather or on a simulator for extended time.
Current irons are Srixon 545s with XCaliber Pro 85 stiff flex. I also have some i200s with Steelfibers i95s.
I am intrigued by the new hollow body irons like the Epic Forged, Cobra Forged Tec and Ping i500. If I could pick up 1 club in length that would be awesome but I don’t think I am in a bad fit right now. If I could get that increase I would be willing to spring for new irons. I don’t want to go total distance as I do like being able to knock shots down. I don’t care as much about being able to bend shots.
I am interested in any thoughts or if I am pretty much maxed out given my SS.
I will definitely get fit but just some pondering due to being golf starved.
