My father-in-law is going to get some new irons soon. He is in his early 60s and currently uses some really cheap, pretty average old clubs. (Howsons)
He plays golf pretty well though, he has some real talent and is an excellent short gamer but struggles with getting much height with anything longer than a 7 iron now after breaking his collarbone a while back. This has restricted his swing slightly and he always hits very low shots due to this.
I am trying to help him pick a few sets to try out - he seems keen on CallawayX-20s but has yet to try them. I think that a set of 5-PW Wishon 752TCs would be great for him but he will have problems finding a set to demo. He will get a fitting session when we go and hit some different sets.
How about shafts? Do you thing reg steel will be ok or do you think its time for some graphites or senior flex?
Any help/tips etc would be most welcome as I'd love to see him enjoy his golf over the next few years and I think it's important that he gets all his specs sorted as well as possible.
