I just started playing golf and I have a bad slice. Would you recommend draw irons?

October 15th, 2009 | by admin |

of would it hurt me in the end?

Should I get the Taylor Made R7 Draw irons or the regular irons?

My advice is lessons to cure the slicing and then you can play any Irons you want to play……Draw Irons will not cure the slice problem

    honestly i wouldnt, i’d buy the regular irons and pay for a lesson with a local pro. he should straighten out your swing, grip, etc..

    No, I would fine a used set of "max improvement" clubs (check with your local golf shop), and take lessons. The slice is a symptom of a bad swing. That should be corrected first before you start looking at using equipment to compensate.

    unless you have an injury or a limitation that prevents you from being able to swing a club properly, i would not recommend draw clubs. Lessons would be more valuable and make your game more enjoyable in the end.

    Well it would help if you do not improve your swing.
    I had a bad slice when i started. I started to break
    my wrists through the follow thru and make sure you
    swing thru the ball. not a *ussy swing, a man

    By the sound of it u have picked up some bad habbits from somewere and draw irons will mask the problems in your swing not fix them. making it very hard to improve.
    i would get regular game inprovement irons and get some lessons.
    that is what i did and i now play off 3!

    Good Luck

    it would definitely hurt you in the long run.

    you will start off drawing them, and not be used to them, so your swing will adjust for a straight shot. then, you will start fading them and then slicing DRAW IRONS!!!. then you will go back to regular irons, and have a massive slice.

    my best advice is to get lessons of a pro, who will straighten you out, and if you can, get a hold of a fade club, maybe just a 6 iron or something, that you can practice with and try and hit it straight, then go back to your normal clubs and you should draw them

    DO NOT GET DRAW IRONS IF YOU HAVE A SLICE BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET BETTER WITH THEM YOU WILL NEED BLADES OR SOMETHING AND YOU WILL SLICE THEM BIGTIME SO YOU WILL NEVER GET BETTER!!!!!! I’ve seen it happen, trust me. that’s the best advice i can give to you.

    good luck

    In a word NO. You would be better off having a few lessons.Slicing is usually caused by having an open stance,weak hands,coming inside the ball or a combination of all three.For the cost of a few lessons you can save money on clubs and get a lot morre enjoyment out of the game.I know because I had a dreadful slice. Good luck

    It is going to largely depend on what your personal goals are. If, on the one hand, you plan on just going out having some fun with some friends 5 to 10 times a year, basically taking your game fairly casually, then I would say yes. The draw irons will help you hit the ball straighter, you will score lower, and you will have more fun if you score lower.

    On the other hand, if you anticipate becoming a more avid golfer, and you want to learn how to swing a club correctly, then I would say no. You do not want to groove the kind of swing that it takes to hit the draw irons straight. It will not be any good if you ever try to use any other set of clubs. If you groove a good swing for a square set of clubs, then you can switch to something else without any problems.

    But, I cannot stress enough that you have to be honest with yourself about how seriously you want to take the game. If you aren’t willing to put in the many hours of practice it will probably take to fix your bad slice, then go with the draw-biased irons, and have fun. I also hope that you take the "have fun" to heart, too, because ultimately it is a game, and there is no shame in not wanting to become an avid golfer and using draw-biased clubs to make the same more enjoyable. Ultimately, there is no spot on the scorecard to list what kind of clubs you used — all that matters is how many strokes it takes to get the ball in the hole. If draw-biased clubs help you take less strokes to get in the hole, then those are the clubs for you.
