Some golf iron recommendations for amateur golfers

I recently came across a set of golf irons that I would like to mention. I don’t normally push any particular golf clubs on this site, I try to give objective information. But these clubs really impressed me and I wanted to pass this along.

First let me say that I get the question a lot concerning what are the easiest golf clubs to hit. I normally respond “the ones that you like of course!” And you wonder why they call me The Golf Nut! But seriously, with all the technology out there and the money that the golf club makers are pouring into R&D, there are almost too many choices. And all the choices are good clubs. Which means that there aren’t any bad choices.

So what’s the right choice of golf clubs for you? I believe that you should try several sets and find the one which makes you feel the most comfortable and relaxed. I’ve written before that I believe (especially for the mid to high handicapper) that tempo is the most critical factor in your golf swing. And I still stress that. So the golf clubs that make you the most comfortable give you the best chance at a really good tempo in your golf swing.

Now I have one specific and one general recommendation. The specific recommendation is for the Callaway Big Bertha Fusion irons. I hit these clubs and was blown away. Ireally, really liked them. Definietely the most forgiving golf irons I have hit. If you are looking at irons, and you are in the 18-20+ range, I would recommend you look at these and try them.

Now for the general recommendation. Revamp what clubs you have in your golf bag. You might want to consider keeping no higher than a 5 iron (might want to consider up to a 6) in your bag. Then go with fairway and/or utility woods. These woods are so much easier to hit. Along with this, I also recommend keeping four wedges (46, 50, 54, and 58 degrees). Why four you ask? Well, this allows you more chances at a full golf swing under 110 yards. And usually a less than full swing on short wedge shots is difficult at best for golfers in this handicap range.

Hope these tips help your golf game and I hope that you continue to stay “nuts” about the game of golf!

Great suggestions!! I'm going to add two wedges right away, half swings under 100 yards have been making me crazy.

Thanks Golf Nut
