Question:
What is important about your clubs is that you buy good clubs that fit you. Two brands that I consider unmatched, and having God-like qualities are Callaway for woods and Ping for irons. But if you learned your swing using another top quality brand of iron, that is OK too. (Acceptable brands include Titleist, Cobra, Top Flight, Taylor Made) If you care about your game, don’t buy cheap, non-brand name crap. And definitely don’t buy your clubs at K-Mart , Sears or Canadian Tire. Buy it from a Pro Shop or good quality golf discount store. Knock-offs should be avoided, esp the real cheap stuff (be weary). So get good clubs, and then work on your swing, and don’t be concerned about trying out every new club or so-called innovation that comes on the market. Work on your swing. The swing is far more important.

I bought an old (late 1970’s) set of Titleist blade irons. About as forgiving as a mother-in-law from Hell! I’m hoping that with these clubs I will actually learn to swing properly rather than rely upon "Game improvement" clubs with their built-in swing fault corrections. If I hit off the heel or toe I want to know about it. If I hit the ball squarely on the clubface I expect to be rewarded. How does one improve with "Game improvement" clubs if your flaws are minimized by these corrective features. I can see casual golfers or those not really seeking improvement using these clubs, and that’s fine. What about someone who really wants to learn how to play well and get feedback from his clubs good or bad? Am I out in left field or does anyone else agree with this line of thought.
