    So pretty sure I know the answer but wanted to get some opinions. I have a few sets of irons and want to narrow down to just one of them for next year and quit switching around. I was playing srxn zx5 and PXG 0311P. Then I recently picked up a set of T300 from 2019 in great condition with my favorite shafts in them. I was a 15 handicap last year but due to some issues I am now a 20 and getting over hip replacement. Yesterday I played the t300’s and really liked the way I hit them. Now being a 20 my swing is not consistent at all. My goal is to get to a low teen handicap next year. Are the t300 too much game improvement to get to that level? Should I just play more of a players distance iron and work on getting better with it or stick with the t300 and dump the rest? By the way I will be 62 in a couple weeks and hit my 7 iron 135. Thankd

    I feel the T300s should work for you in your effort to lower your handicap. I may be in the minority, but I'm a 1 handicap and play the T300 (2021) irons and really like them. BTW, I'm 68 years old.

    I played a set of T300 for a while for a bit of added help I needed at the time and can assure you that none of the clubs know your handicap. The biggest benefit in my opinion is even when the ball is not struck in the center, there is some help in the technology that makes that miss not so bad. Everyone misses whether you are a 20, 15, or single digit handicap. I would use whatever set gives you the best results and you are most confident in.

    I know a single digit handicap who just bought a set of game improvement irons with graphite shafts. Maybe that's why he's still a single digit handicap.

    I play the T300's (2019) and they helped me drop my handicap over 5 points since I first put them in the bag. I really like their forgiveness and the improvement I've seen since I started playing them.

    I’ve come to realize I’m the last person I should take advice from. The decisions are typically empirical without being optimized for how I actually swing.
    Sounds like you still need to determine your best you after surgery. I wouldn’t count on getting back to the old you buying equipment in advance of next year.
    No one over a single digit handicap will be hurt by using T300/T350 irons. Once the new irons are released late next summer you will know the extent of your limitations from surgery, if any. Then a full fitting will find which series iron will best suit your swing. Successfully growing into a more advanced design can happen, but I’m willing to bet it is more exception than rule and less likely for golfers over 50.

    T300s are a great set of clubs. Had them and loved them, but just had to have the T350's. Like the forged feel. Our course has been renovated and is about ten strokes harder, have back and hip issues also, so went from a 12 to a 21. As we age we do lose yardage. At 78 am happy with 140 with my 70. I stopped worrying about the distances, just knowing which iron to hit now. One more club than I did two years ago. Going from an average muni to a Seth Raynor style course, a #19 ranking of municipal courses in the top 50 in the US and health issues keep my game in the 90's. I now play golf more for the fun of it than for the competition and tournaments I played ten years ago. Accuracy is so much more fun. Of course I have a great friend to help my game. He just happens to be a PGA teaching pro. The best way to improve your game. It takes a well trained brave to shoot that arrow straight. I am always a work in progress. =)

    Supposed to say 140 with my seven iron, fast finders, sorry. Had my irons set one degree strong. Do love the feel of the T350's. especially when you hit that sweet perfect shot. My game is so bipolar, it is more the indian than the arrows. The T300's designed to be a forgiving club.
