Upgrading irons

[Bsudgolf]

I'm thinking about upgrading my irons. I've always been a Cleveland and Cobra Fan. My current irons are cleveland cg7 tours. I'm playing right now to around a 10hcp. I'm wanting to stay with Cleveland or Cobra but don't want to spend a Ton of money. Just want to upgrade to some latest technology. May even change drivers also from my Cobra ZL encode to the Srixon Z585 driver. Any thoughts on all this?

Well, there isn't much in the way of Cleveland irons anymore unless you want to find yourself a set of the 588 cb/mb (really nice irons), then you'll be looking into Srixon as the parent company of Cleveland.  As for Cobra, never really been a fan as I think they look super cheap and hate the colour schemes so can't offer up anything to try out there. 

 

As always best thing is to either to a fitting studio with all options and test things out, or do the winter golf store tours and try things out.  Just saying your a 10 means very little as you could be a great iron player and terrible off the tee, or great off the tee and have a terrible iron and short game, or any other options that causes you strokes.

 

ZL always felt dead, so you can go any direction you want wrt drivers now.  It's actually harder to pick out the bad ones than list all of the good, same with fairways.  And many more shaft options available if you are still using the stock offering from it.

I totally understand. Actually I'm pretty good off tee and with my irons. Where I struggle most is short game and putting

Then I would put the money I would spend on a new set of irons and a driver on short game lessons and more range time (if you have the time).  We all like new things, but if a fit putter and wedges with some new learned skills/confidence can actually drop you 3-4 strokes, that is a better investment imho. 

 

More so that you can take those 2 weak points and improve, and then work on the irons and driver at a later date to see if there is some strokes to be gained there after fixing the main 2 issues.

What wedges are you playing now?  I’ve always loved Cleveland wedges.  I still think the RTG 588 is the best wedge I’ve ever played.

I switched to the Z 785's from the Wilson CB's. Absolutely love them! You can pick up a set in good condition for $450-500, maybe cheaper.
