There is plenty of forgiveness for the mid handicapper. If this is important for your decision making, it is good to know. The T300 is the best choice for golfers anywhere above a 13 handicap. I would even refuse to try hit them when a friend offered.
IRON SWING SLOW MOTION DRIVERS
I avoided their irons and drivers for years. Some people are scared of Titleists but the T300 model is really a new era for Titleist. While the flight is high in relation to the lofts, be careful if you're a low ball hitter as you may find some shallow landing angles when approaching greens. With stronger lofts, you'll notice a distance increase. The looks of the club are executive and they look like golf irons for low handicappers but they perform for mid handicappers in the areas they need the most help to get into the 80s: forgiveness, turf interaction and consistent distances across the face. The flight was high despite the stronger lofts and the ball seemed to stay in the air a second longer than usual. It flew at the same heights almost every shot. What I found most impressive was the launch of the ball. The sole allowed me to have a skimming interaction with the turf and even when you feel like you fat the shot a little, it flies much further than you expect. Like in all of Callaway's irons, I found the sole to be pretty wide which always makes it easier for mid handicappers to get the ball airborne without the need to hit so steep onto the ball. The offset prevents big shots to the right with a slice. The extra spring effect means more distance for you.Ĭallaway put a minimal offset on the irons as they are game improvement irons. From 4 to 9 iron, there is a wrap-around cupface technology that Callaway uses, where it touches the top line for a maximum spring effect off the club face.

The irons are forged (much softer feeling) and cavity backed (forgiving on mis-hits) with a mid-size sole for easy turf interaction. Callaway have always made some of the most forgiving irons on the market and with the Apex design in their range, they bring in a great option for a 10 to 15 handicapper. I've been a fanboy of Ben Hogan clubs since I began playing and Callaway now own the Ben Hogan brand 'Apex'. In my opinion, Srixon is my go-to for every mid handicapper looking to replace their clubs.
IRON SWING SLOW MOTION PRO
If you can get them with the NS Pro shafts in them, you'll have a great time with these clubs. Srixon have made these clubs look easy to hit when you look down at them, but they keep the size of the head down to a minimum. Turf interaction on iron shots is essential and for mid handicappers, steep swings can cause a lot of digging. The V shaped sole is designed to interact with the turf in a way that it won't dig. The head is a semi-encased cavity back to help move the center of gravity lower and bring the sweet spot down in the face to get even crisper contact on the ball on imperfect strikes. The Srixon ZX5 MKII irons have a large, forgiving sole, without being bulky. Srixon make probably the best irons on the market from the major manufacturers. They're forged steel and of such high quality materials, you will not need to replace them. You can use the Srixon ZX5's for a very long time, even into the low handicap range. The newest model has been updated from the original ZX5 and is aimed at the mid handicapper who wants consistent distances and forgiveness in one package. As a mid handicapper, these irons might not be on your radar but they should be. The Srixon ZX5 MKII irons are the best irons for mid handicappers and average golfers.
