I’m a very inconsistent golfer. I can shoot anywhere between 42 and 54 on a nine. On eighteen holes, I shoot anywhere from 93 to 110. I know these aren’t the best for most golfers, and okay for a 14 year old (I’m 14). I would like to average in the 80s, hell even less. But, I can expect 80s. I can drive the ball 175-250 and have a slight slice, 3-Iron 175-200, 5-Iron 130-175, and 8-Iron 100-130. You see that there is some overlap. I am okay at chipping, my chips get within 7 feet of the hole. My putting average is weak, about 2.3. The one thing is that I duff a lot (once every other hole), which I call "wasted strokes". I am bad at going up and down, for a bad drive may be a double bogey for me. My GIR is 25%. I would like a way to get rid of the wasted strokes, putt better, maybe be better at chipping, hit my irons further, drive it straight, and go up and down better. Thanks.
I tee from the reds, and beat my dad and his friends.

I have been playing for years but can’t get good at putting. RIGHT, LEFT, UP, DOWN !!!! It’s driving me crazy. This is the only part of my game I need to improve. I would like to say this to new peolpe DISC GOLF IS A SPORT! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FRISBEE GOLF! FRISBEE IS A BRAND OF DISC!!! I’ve been seeing this a lot lately thought I’d let people know.

I don’t think Leadbetter is a good teacher and I don’t think he ever helped anyone he worked with.

Before answering my question let me explain what type of golfer I am and my style of play. I am a 20 year old, 6 foot male with a handicap of about 25. My biggest weakness is my inability to hit with a driver (currently using a Taylormade r5 that I won in a raffle); actually I struggle from the tee pretty much 80% of the time, even if I am not using a driver. However, I excel at 50-30 yards from the pin and often save bogey or double bogey on a hole due to my ability to chip and putt. I will go in more detail about each aspect of my game to help you guys give my accurate advice. As a side note, I am currently using a set of Wilson 1200 GE irons from the 80′s. Needless to say I think it’s time for an upgrade.
Like I said I excel from 50-30 yards out. I may be a 25 handicapper, but I most certainly chip like a single digit handicapper and putt like a bogey golfer. I usually two putt my way to the hole unless I chipped it in or I am close enough to tap in. I am in no need for a putter or wedge as I have my trusty CG14 wedge at 56 degrees and 14 bounce and my Cleveland Classic BRZ mallet putter, both which I am comfortable with. So, as a result, I do not need a set with extensive wedges or a box set with drivers and a putter.
I could use help with my mid game, which is where the new iron set comes in. My iron game is better than what my handicap suggests as well. I hit my 5 iron at 165, my 6 iron 155, my 7 iron 145, and so on. I get pretty good distance of my irons, which I am happy about, however, it’s consistency that I struggle with. I have those beautiful shots every round where I hit the ball right on the sweet spot and it goes flying, but the problem is it’s too small with my Wilson’s and without a swing that is 100% repeatable I will never hit that consistent with my Wilson player irons. However, if I catch fire with my 5 iron, I usually have no trouble hitting it. I guess I am looking for irons that forgiving on mishits or irons with a larger sweet spot, however I want some control with distance. I have a problem investing in game improvement irons because I can already hit the ball far, I don’t need my 5 iron going 200 yards on me and stuck at 120 yards out and not being able to use anything.
Finally, I suck at the tee box. I can’t hit anything but a miserable 200 yard slice or a 30 yard hook. There have been days where I can hit the driver perfectly and it goes 250+ yards and straight. Lately I have no confidence in the driver and have resorted to my 5 iron to tee off, but even then I psych out.
I am a golfer who could greatly improve with more forgiving irons and I think I could become a bogey golfer or better with consistency since my short game is stellar. I understand that a lot of my issues need to be fix by a professional, and I plan on doing so next season or later this season, but I also think new irons would be extremely beneficial as well. Lastly, I was hoping for irons in or around the 0 price range; I am currently looking at the Wilson Di9 set, but haven’t tried any at the local Golfers Warehouse. Thanks for the advice in advance!
The Jeff, thanks I knew I was going to get this response, and I respect it because it is true that I need a pro to help. What should I look for in a pro to instruct me. I obviously don’t want one who will confuse me more than anything else.
