1. The really great channel you have, channel with amazing tutorials that really helps.

   I have learned a lot from the books as well, my favorite one is called “Simple golf swing” from one of golf guru’s David Nevogt. This book improved my game skills from newbie to advanced in two weeks.

   There is free electronic version of it: gg.gggolfswing

   Thanks again for course.

2. I would recommend cast irons for beginners with a thicker sole and pocket cavity because they have a lot of forgiveness and get the ball up well. Comes down to personal choice really you could walk into a golf shop and hit loads of different irons and just get a feel for a particular set,as a brand I would go with mizuno. Just don’t buy blades if your a beginner lol

3. DA Points still uses i5s….

4. Lego my i5s!

5. Im off 15 and ive been playing for a year and i carnt aford to buy new clubs and ive had my dunlop irons from my starter set still 🙁

6. Just finally got new clubs this year. Had my old ones for 8 years.

7. I’m still using my mizuno mx-23’s from 2004 as long as you keep it the grooves clean and re-grip every season i don’t see why you would need a new set of irons too often except to appease your inner “bait monkey” as they say in the fishing community.

8. I’d say the average is closer to 5 years or more. 2 years seems short for most amateurs (majority of golfers). Take care of your clubs, keep them clean. I would shorten the time period if your game has large transitions (swing speed, ability in general, and youngsters growing up.) Financial reasons become a main contributor as well for most to keep their irons. I’d rather see somebody get fit and love their clubs rather than buying new technology, but to each their own.

9. Go with a set of used game improvement irons. Generally you will want something with a cavity, thicker sole and top line. It inspires confidence looking down at the ball and it will improve forgiveness on off center strikes. Ping G series, Adams A7OS, TaylorMade Burner 2.0’s, Wilson Staff Di11 would be good places to start looking.

10. I’m still using my Mx-23’s too.. still haven’t found anything better!

11. If you go with an older gently used set of forged irons, you really can’t go wrong.

12. I purchased a set of Mizuno jpx 800 hd’s in the winter after using a 10 year old starter set called bermuda.

13. Blimey mark-2 year average iron upgrade?! I can only think of one guy I know who beats that average! I’d be surprised if it was less than 5yrs on average tbh. I had 2 different sets in my first 12yrs golfing, both were 2nd hand. First were an old £30(in 1999) set of Wilson1200 cavity backs, the second,some titleist 990’s(£200/2002), which I stuck with for 9yrs, before trialling a set of mizuno mp32’s (£95/2011) for a year before getting fitted last year for titleist cb/mb combo….

14. …love to hear which irons have you have used in your golfing life?- make a great vid 🙂
    Keep up the good work, enjoying your putting and fitness vids, good expansion of your video library.

15. Mark,

    Huge fan of your videos!, I have a quick question for you. I have been playing golf for about 5-6 years now and my game has improved significantly. I was wondering when it would be a good idea to switch to blade irons over my cavity backed ones, I am looking for more feedback from my clubs during my mishits, would a set of blades really take me that long to get used to, and do they really allow for more and better shot shaping?

    Thanks again!

    Yes you will get more feedback from blades than cavity backs on good and bad hits. The rest of your questions can only be answered by how talented you are. Best way is to try. I picked up a set of mizuno mp32’s for just £95 a couple of years ago. Used them for a season and a half then sold (for £120!) and got fitted for a cavity(3-6) and blade(7-P) combo. Only problem is I wish I’d gone for the 5 and 6 as a blade too!!

17. Changing your clubs comes down money and personal preference. Even tour pros like rickie fowler has a 60deg in his bag since he was in high school and I believe rory has used the same 3 wood for 4 years. So don’t be drawn into the latest and greatest. It’s the golfer that makes the clubs not the clubs make the golfer.

18. 2 years awarage – that would mean changing everytime bew model comes out if you just play one specific model. i played Ben Hogans for 7 years before switching to i20s. not looking to get rid of those for at least 4 years

19. I trade my irons out every year

20. ive had the same woods, irons and putter for about 8 years.the only new things i bought was 2 new wedges a few months back.
    i fact im looking at maybe having new shafts in my irons,but not changing the iron head as i like them to much.

21. My callaway x tour irons forged, Nike blue chip putter, 50 and 58 degree callaway wedges forged, Callaway 3 wood razr x black, taylormade 3 hybrid rescue, callaway FTiz driver is my full set :), no more clubs I plan on buying for a long time.

22. I have used the same “Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge” irons and wedge (about 56 years old) for the past year, a week ago I upgraded to some Callaway x22 irons and a King Cobra Driver…my game has improved a lot, but I still use my Sam Snead 3 iron…

23. How are you liking the change to the JPX825? Would love to see a video about your thoughts on the change

24. I’ve had the same irons for 14 years. Might be time for an upgrade….

25. First

26. Well this sucks. I went to buy a wedge and I bought a club with 13 bounce. I am newer to golf so it is harder for me, as you said, to get a good shot with my wedge.

27. who sold you the wedge.. golf shops are there to sell clubs not to care about your game, they will sell you anything . . .
