We all know that a bad carpenter blames his tools but when it comes to golf, technology helps a lot. Nowadays manufacturers are actually making irons that are designed to help high handicappers hit the ball higher, straighter and further. Here is a short list of some game-improvement irons:
1. Adams Idea a3 OS.
2. Cobra S 9
3. Mizuno MX-950
4. Taylor Made r7 CGB Max
These clubs have an offset design and more forgiving heads than the irons that tour players use. The weight is shifted to the back of the clubhead and this in turn lowers the center of gravity. A lower center of gravity makes the clubface more stable at impact. That way the player doesn’t lose a lot of distance on his or her mishits. We, at US Hole In One, strongly encourage high handicappers to try these clubs. Ultimately, if they do try them, they will hit more greens and you know what that means. They’ll increase their odds of getting that elusive first hole in one.
Speaking of hole in ones, Fredrick Jacobson, also known as Houdini by his peers for his ability to recover from errant tee shots, holed out on the 17th hole of this year’s PGA Championship. A perfectly struck 4 iron from 193 yards was the main shot on the highlight reel until the epic finish by Padraig Harrington replaced it. Padraig Harrington now has three majors and has definitely earned a place in the Golf Hall of Fame. Good stuff Padraig! Keep it up…at least until the big guy comes back.
