I bought a set of DCI Golds and a set of DCI Blacks about five years ago and use the Gold long irons and the Black short irons. Works well, but I want to hit a lower ball, so I'm messing around with the knockdowns.Paul Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825674914008378242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-30721800983724715112011-06-10T08:19:17.667-04:002011-06-10T08:19:17.667-04:00I just bought *pre-owned* Titleist forged irons fo...I just bought *pre-owned* Titleist forged irons for $185. They were new in 2006.

Since I am not going to shell out a bunch of money for new sticks right now, I am trying to keep the ball down in a different way. Plus, it spins like crazy with the short irons. I am backing it up again and it feels really good to be able to hit at the sticks around here. Plus, it seems like I am getting more turn and my stomach feels better. And I ditched the glove again. I am 15 all over again.<br /><br />My mishit on the knockdown is blocked right because I never get all the way through. But, it is really helping me with the long irons to try to NOT hit them so long. Driver is smoother too with that practice. Slowing my swing down has really made me a much better ball striker.Paul Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825674914008378242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-85523604430553722932011-06-09T22:01:09.915-04:002011-06-09T22:01:09.915-04:00Weak left hand digits aren't good at all - tha...Weak left hand digits aren't good at all - that's what I suffer from on account of my back issues too. The good players have a really strong grip with those two fingers.<br /><br />What do YOU need knockdowns for? There ain't an ocean around for miles!<br /><br />I didn't think it got that windy inland - but what do I know about flyover country?<br /><br />The last three years in Boston I played on an oceanside course. Play the ball back a little, take more club, choke down, and bunt it. Of course my knock-downs ALWAYS hook. A couple of weeks ago some Jamaican dude advised me to simply open the clubface a little. Have to try it...CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-19522490608881753352011-06-09T21:15:13.107-04:002011-06-09T21:15:13.107-04:00The thing that I have been working on this Summer ...The thing that I have been working on this Summer is the knockdown. Man, I hit so many knockdown five irons during my practice that I dream about it. But, my eight is dialed in on 150 to a point. My back feels good, but the ring and pinky fingers on my left hand are numb all the time. This year should be really strange to say the least. <br /><br />Putter? Fiyah. Wedges?
