2015 Game Improvement Irons Guide

By Bob Gomavitz on May 5, 2015 Game Improvement Irons, Guides, Irons, Learning Center, Reviews

Golf Discount’s 2015 Game Improvement Irons Guide By Bob Gomavitz A very good player told me that his game improved even more when he switched from Players Cavity Back irons to Game Improvement irons. Iron play was my weakness, so 3 years ago I made the switch too, and have not looked back since. Since I play Game Improvement irons, I could not wait to test out the latest offerings. During my research on these heads I noticed a consistent theme going on, and that was the manufacturers boasting these irons have “our thinnest face ever”. The OEM’s are doing…

By Bob Gomavitz on April 28, 2015 Guides, Irons, Learning Center, Players Irons, Reviews

Golf Discount’s 2015 Players Cavity Back Irons Guide By Bob Gomavitz This review will cover Players Cavity Back Irons. Players that love the looks of a true players iron, but needs extra forgiveness, or whose contact with the face is more spread out than a true ball striker’s pattern, this review is for you! While these types of irons are similar to players irons, they tend to be slightly larger in size and a touch more offset.

How to Select an Iron Set For a Beginner

By Duffer on March 23, 2015 Guides, Irons, Learning Center

Most beginners tend to be a bit inconsistent when it comes to how flush they hit the ball. Beginners often hit a little bit behind the golf ball, causing a fat or “chunky” shot, where the iron digs into the ground a little bit before it gets to the ball, causing grass to get in between the ball and the face of the club. The result is a shot that comes up very short. Does this sound familiar? To remedy this situation, “Super” Game Improvement Irons are oversized, and will have a wider sole (the bottom of the club) that…
