I'm in the market for new irons. I went to golftown and swung the X18s and X Tours as they're both on sale. I have '04 Big Berthas now so I'm slightly partial to Callaways. Anyway, I liked them both but found the X18s were a lot softer to hit because they're much more forgiving. So now I'm in a rut. Do I buy the more forgiving club that are basically no different than what I'm using now? Or do I buy the X tours which are slightly harder to hit, but will give me something to work on?
The main reason I'm buying new irons is because I'm taking lessons in the offseason and want a new fitted set to learn properly on.
I think I'll go down to Birdies and Buckets in Surrey and hit the Callaways as well as the R7s and even try some Nikes. Its nice they have a golftown right there at the range. They'll tape anything up and let you hit them there rather into some video screen.
FYI - Costco has an awesome deal for Whistler Golf course. $100 for a green fee, bucket of warmup balls and a $15 food voucher. Played it last weekend and it's easily worth the drive. Very well maintained course as you would expect.
