Should I replace 20 year old irons?

I would expect that trend to level off, but if your long game clubs are more than three or four years old, you should check out the new stuff. Unless you play a ton and shut down the range nightly, there's no reason a set of irons shouldn't last five to ten years.Feb 5, 2020

Do irons lose distance over time?

As we mentioned, truly worn out irons can be hard to come across, it would take me back to the days of using my dad's old clubs that were well past their sell by date. However, if you have truly worn your clubs out, you can lose about 7-10 yards on them.

Are 30 year old golf clubs still good?

There is no evidence that golf clubs deteriorate over time. Well maintained clubs will last a lifetime. 10+ year old clubs should be checked for better options but clubs less than 5 years old do not need replacing except for wear and tear issues to which wedges and forged irons are most vulnerable.

Why can't I get any distance with my irons?

This can be a symptom of body rotation or club head speed. There are drills you can do to increase your body rotation and your club head speed, generating more power behind your swing and allowing you to hit longer irons.

Why do I hit my irons all the same distance?

The first factor is speed. Without a good amount of club head speed or with a decelerating club head, it will seem that all your clubs fly the same. Sometimes when this is the case even shorter clubs can fly further. Imagine a 90 year old that is stiff and can't move quickly.

How long will it take for me to get used to my new irons? Based on my fitting I'm going to be longer with these clubs than my current ones. I'm also switching back to steel from graphite.

I'm also a classic over-thinker, over-analyzer. I made my last iron switch, to the Ping Ansers, during the off season, so I didn't really worry about any "transition." Recently I moved away from the Pings and have been playing some old Mizunos as an interim choice.

First off, I will say that you missed the first generation (maybe even the second) of the C-C grooves. Also, since your wedges were old than you may even see an increase in stopping power. The new generation of C-C wedges and shafts are a huge improvement over the first ones.

Did you end up doing the fitting Rev? I've found that if it takes more then a week to adjust, other then maybe the extra distance you might see, the fitting was mucked up somewhere.

As someone who has changed clubs this year almost as much as I've changed underwear....here is what I can tell ya:

Kanoito

I've switched 4 sets in 3 years... and usually get the distance dialed-in after 2-3 rounds.

revkev

I will say for those who don't have experience with the score wedges that these bad boys come with two dots on the trips - have the bottom hand on the top dot and hit the club its full distance - move it down to the second dot and you take 8 or so yards off the shot - ends a lot of the guess work - its a matter of getting out and practicing with them to dial that in - then develope a three quarter and half swing with each of those techniques..

danieldrieberg

I think he meant to switch from a set you know to one you don't - I can switch between my own sets fairly seemlessly - now that I know them all.

Lefty-Golfer

LOL on club ho's. One of my regular 4-some guys purchased 3 lob wedges in June of last year...every week he brought a differnt one....he then showed up in July with a 50 degree persimon hybred!!! LOL a freakin chipping wood!!! We were damn near in tears. it didn't help him.

I think it depends on how different the new clubs are from your old ones.#N#I switched from Mizuno MP-32 to MP-52 last year.

Fourputt

It honestly doesn't take that long for me, but I usually look for clubs with a similar feel to what I'm currently using. This last time I switched back to steel from graphite shafts, so it was more of an adjustment than I usually experience, but then too, it was still only a few rounds until I was playing to the same level as before.

RocketSauce

Just switched to a new set of clubs but cannot ripe the benefit of the clubs yet. Just wonder for the folks out here how long did it take you to be really effective and good with your new set of clubs 1 round, 2 rounds, 3, etc...

I think it depends on how different the new clubs are from your old ones.
