Tryin' to get better....
I'm heading to "Cool Clubs" for a full bag fitting in early March and am wondering...
everyone's opinion on whether or not I should be upgrading my current equipment? Currently I play Apex irons with a regular flex rifle shaft (6i to A Wedge). I have an XR 5 hybrid, the X2 Hot 4 and 3 hybrids and an X2 Hot 4 Wood. My wedges are a Callaway 56 and 60 degree Mack Daddy II. Driver is a 10.5 degree KZG with an Accra regular flex shaft. I think my swing has changed a bit over the last few years (more vertical) and so as part of the process I want to check length and lie angles of my current clubs. But I know I will also be tempted (and excited about) the prospect of perhaps getting some new clubs. So I was wondering if there are some technology gains in clubs that I should take advantage of? Would it be worth it for me to upgrade my equipment?
I'm thinking about the Callaway Apex CF16 irons and any hybrids/woods that might be recommended. But I'm open to anything. I'm 60 yrs old, in pretty good shape, and approx. a 12 handicap who doesn't try to "work" the ball (I always shoot for straight shots for the most part). I just got a really nice bonus so $$'s (within reason) are not a huge concern. My lifelong golf goal (I didn't start playing golf until my late 30's) is to get to single digit handicap. I want to make sure I have the best equipment available for my skill level to help accomplish that.
I'd also be interested in anyone's experiences with a Cool Clubs fitting? Did you find it to be worthwhile?
What does everyone think?
