Golf World

As a southpaw and new small town resident who happens to be a golf enthusiast, I learned early on that there aren’t many quality club sets to choose from in local shops and sporting good stores stores.

Unfortunately, this realization came a while after I’d already sold my decent full set before I moved up north from from Florida with very limited moving space in my uhaul, and the misconception that there wouldn’t be much golfing in the Snow Belt. By the time spring finally arrived, and fueled by a longing to play again, I began by purchasing an individual driver, putter, pitching wedge, utility wood, before I wised up and resorted to the internet for a sufficient irons and woods. To cut to the chase, my search, for irons anyways, lead me eventually to Hirekogolf.com and the Dynacraft Prophet Tour Blade Iron set in particular. While I was initially drawn to them by the stylish online pictures and scientific mumbo jumbo that had gone into their seemingly marvelous creation, my only true hesitation was in using blade irons period.

Truth be told I’ve struggled in terms of consistency with every Iron I have ever held in my quivering hands, and had ended up going the hybrid route with my last set, which actually made me progressively worse. The sad fact of the matter was that as much as they increased my power and distance, they seemed to cause my accuracy and control to diminish. Nevertheless, I took the plunge and decided to purchase custom 3,5,6, and 9 irons for starters, and upon recieving them took them straight to the nearest driving range that evening, for a test. Sure they looked wonderful, and everyone likes to be the guy in the group with the clubs that look good enough to die for, but being no scientist myself, there was only one way to find out how the adjusted “center of gravity” and maticulously engineered “stability shot” would help my game. It took a few swings to get used to it, but honestly, my early shanks and unintended slices looked almost as good as my typical shots with my old sets, and quite a bit better than the rentals! They have a lighter feel than most blade irons i’ve encountered, yet, seem to have a great deal more power, are not even comparable in terms of control.

Taylor Made has spared no expense in the development of their irons. They started off right with their ground breaking inverted cone technology. This process is meticulously done by an computer numerical control system better known as CNC to the back of the club giving them the ability to control the thickness of the club face.

Taylor Made didn’t just spend all their efforts on the outside of the clubs. Apparently the genius’s over there have heard the saying “It’s what’s on the inside the counts”, because they applied a significant amount of time on the inside also. Three key things are that the club now has localized shock absorber, multi-material badge, and soft fell foam. These three key things coupled with inverted cone technology make for one of the best, if not the best irons on the market today. If you are looking for new irons or are just wanting to improve your golf game I highly recommend taking these irons out for a round of eighteen holes. You will be impressed by the control and distance these clubs give from the first time you pull one out of you bag.

By far Taylor Made irons are leaps and bounds ahead of the industry and it proven time and time again in the construction and finish in the clubs. On the subject of finish Taylor made offers a full line of custom fitting options. This will give you the ability to “Taylor Fit” your Taylor Made irons to your specific shaft flex, weight, and torque settings. Just another reason why these irons are continually being mentioned in the same sentence with words like “crafted to perfection”. It only takes one ball with any of these irons and like a bad shot you will be hooked. Please don’t take my word for it find out for yourself. That is if you are in the market for new irons and if not I’m sure after one shot you will be looking for a reason for new ones. I love winning and that’s why the only clubs I leave the club house with is Taylor Made irons and Drivers.

Is your golf game missing a stroke or two in your short game? Does your club collection leave an open spot in your bag? If so, you are more than likely missing one of the most overlooked clubs in a golf set. The right wedge in your collection can get you out of some tight spots on the golf course. Find you golf ball in a tough spot in a bunker? Than a sand wedge is your answer. Are you in that awkward spot close to the green where you are just a little too close for your pitching wedge or are hitting uphill? A gap or lob wedge can be your best friend.

The question is this: if you do not have one in your collection, what wedges do you buy? With the increased popularity of golf in the last ten years, you have a lot of companies and styles to choose from. The good news is that, according to the new USGA rules, golf manufacturers can no longer make wedges to the same specifications as they have been making them. This rule has an immediate impact on the pro golfers, but what about the amateur golfers like you and I?

For the recreational golfer, the same wedges that have been manufactured for years can still be used until the year 2024. This is good news for amateurs because all of these wedges should drop in price so the specialty stores can get rid of their inventory to make room for the new wedges that adhere to the new regulations. That being said, go check out your local golf retailer and try out the different wedges they offer. The most common wedges are going to be the sand, gap, and lob wedge so start by looking for these first.

With the expected drop in prices even the big players like Callaway, Ping, and Nike should be affordable to the average golfer. Brand should not be everything though. Always test every club before you make a purchase. Countless golfers have found brands they have never heard of that work the best for them. So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and complete your golf set by getting a great deal on a new Wedge!
