Which are the best golf clubs available for an 18 handicapper who can hit 250 off the tee?”
There is no magic brand that is better than others. Many factors come into play, such as price, quality, “feel”, etc. High handicappers, such as yourself, tend to do better with perimeter weighted clubs. These clubs have a cavity back with the majority of the mass of the club head around the perimeter rather than directly behind the ball. This helps to counteract the tendency of the club face to twist on off-center shots, thereby leading to a longer and straighter “miss” than a blade style club. Your best bet is to go to a reputable golf store and demo some irons to see which ones feel best to you and give the best performance. Once you figure out what you want, then you can shop around for the best deal. What do I use? I’ve been hitting a set of Ping Eye2 Irons I purchased back in 1990 and I wouldn’t trade them in for anything. Good Luck!
