    I currently game players distance irons because I’m a mid-handicap (6.2 index) at my club and was looking for forgiveness. I’m a high swing speed player, averaging 110 with driver. Here’s the issue, last week a played a round with my buddy’s clubs which are blades with project x 6.5 shafts. I couldn’t miss. My irons, and fairwoods are massively inconsistent and I have gapping issues at the bottom of my bag because of the players distance irons.

    Currently I game: TSI3 driver with tensei raw white 65 x 16.5 gt3 fairway with tensei 1K black 75s 19 gt2 hybrid with tensei 1k black 85s T200 4-p amt white S Vokey 46,52,58 DG wedge flex.

    PW is stock 152 46 is stock 134 52 is stock 122 58 is stock 104 Yes, it’s fun to hit it long, but it’s more fun to play better and i feel as if the T200’s are too long, but I also know I need the help.

    I seem to keep finding “hot spots” in the irons and I can’t control them like I would like.

    Any similar handicaps with similar speeds deal with this and what was the fix?

    The fix is to spend some time with a very good fitter that can not only help you match up the set you need, but can help you prioritize your needs, which sounds like accuracy and consistency over distance. Everyone is different so no matter what works for me or another TT member, you need to dial in what works for you. Best wishes and hope you get it dialed in.

    I looked at your profile and it appears that your equipment is a few years old and you play a considerable amount of golf. Your wedges (sm5 and 7) will loose the sharpness between 70-100 rounds. The grooves are probably worn and need replacing. If you practice a lot some of your regular irons could experience the same issue, being they are a 2021 model. Might consider seeing a fitter. Just food for thought. I do not change every cycle, but when I see wear spots on my irons, I know it's time for a change. With respect.
