Are Older Irons Worth Using?
- Performance : While modern irons offer more forgiveness and technology, older clubs can still perform well for beginners.
- Fit : Make sure the clubs are the right length for your height. Most standard sets work for average-sized adults, but very short or tall players may need adjustments.
- Condition : Check for bent shafts, loose heads, or excessive rust. Minor cosmetic issues are fine, but structural problems can affect play.
When to Upgrade Your Irons
- You’ve developed a consistent swing and want more forgiveness or distance.
- You’re ready for a custom fitting to optimize length, lie angle, and shaft flex.
- Your current clubs are damaged or uncomfortable to use.
