In the world of golf we golfers can calculate so many factors in bettering our score the next outing. For all of us real golfers out there, we understand every golfers frustration of going out and shooting a 73 one week and then the following week, bringing the same game, the same clubs and the same balls, than shooting a 91. I think the course managers send out golf leprechauns every night and change the fairways and the greens just to keep us on our toes.

We as golfers though can do a lot to change our approach to the game and get a solid, consistent play out of our bodies. Many of us can purchase a certain kind of iron to help us with our game. The new golfer can use a cavity back instead of a straight blade and many of the clubs manufactured today are cavity backs. The cavity back iron offers more forgiveness than the blades, the sweet spot is bigger on cavity back irons and you can hit the ball on the heel or the toe and get the same result as if hitting the ball on the sweet spot with an iron.

Many golfers though, are very stubborn. They can walk into a pro shop and hear the best advice for the best kind of golf club they can use. They can hear how to either shorten them or lengthen them, upgrade or downgrade, but they will insist they know best. I have witnessed many times, just recently a guy walked into the shop and he was complaining about how he shoots an 80. He figured he would change his grip because that was the problem.

One of the workers here suggested to him a while ago to switch to a regular flex from a stiff flex. He was thoroughly convinced he was a pro golfer and had a swing speed of +110. He finally switched all his flexes in his shafts to regular and his game improved slightly still scoring over 80 every outing. His main problem is he is an amateur golfer. He is not a pro, he refuses to, in a sense, down grade to a cavity back iron offering more forgiveness the blades he is using.

My suggestion to all golfers is find a good high quality golf club that comes in a cavity back if they struggle hitting the ball consistently. There is a huge selection on the market for amateur players struggling hitting blades.

I have recently experience the Tour Edge XCG-5 Irons. Tour Edge is a very high quality golf club, but they offer great prices on all their irons. Their drivers however are very, very expensive. I have discovered they actually sell their fairway woods for more than their drivers.

Anyways let us stay focused on the irons. Tour Edge has added two more tungsten weights, improving to four total weights versus the past model of only having two. The extra weights add more forgiveness and more usability. Giving golfers the opportunity to have further iron shots and approaching the green quicker for those easy ten foot putts. Tour Edge is actually offering these irons in the option of having four different stock shafts, most of the manufacturers give you two options, graphite or steel. The starting price for the iron set is $499.00 with a True Temper Dynalite Steel Shaft after that it increases to $599.00 to upgrade to a different shaft.

Tour Edge is not the only brand offering a good, solid set of irons with a fat, forgiving cavity back. I have found Adams Golf a12 OS Hybrid Irons give golfers the usability of a Hybrid golf club throughout an iron set. The a12 OS features an ultra thin face increasing ball speeds for longer shots, coupled with the increased velocity in ball speed with the accuracy and forgiveness of the hybrid cavity back, the a12 OS will greatly improve any amateur's game. If you are struggling on the local greens hitting 85, 88, 89 even 90, I can't guarantee you will start shooting par first round out. However, I can say you will see a drastic improvement in your score.

Another suggestion I can offer to you golfers looking to improve and beat your buddies up routinely, go get some golf lessons. We cannot expect to get better if our swing is consistently wrong. It may be expensive and pricy, but to be honest going to a pro for assistance is the way to go. When we swing the golf club we are actually using muscle memory, from months and years of swinging the golf club. We have imprinted our golf swing into our arms, hips, abs, back and legs. If you are struggling with a slice or a fade, go get some lessons. Ask a pro why this is happening.

I can tell you right now if you are slicing the ball consistently you are actually just using your arms to swing and slapping the ball adding a mean spin to the ball. You have to find the motion with your hips and your arms and get in rhythm with your body.
