Default PF golfers

Have you seen these F.A.S.T irons they are advertsing on Golf channel etc? Im blown away by these. Surely this aint right. IMO its better to learn how to swing right than to just change the weight in the clubs to suit? It helps the high HC golfer to play better, but to me its the fight to get it right thats half the game

have seen them, they certainly seem a bit of a gimmick. although some of the expensive drivers can now changed from draw to fade bias in seconds with allen keys to help straighten drives up. maybe there is sommit in it....

Oh yeah not saying they dont work. The Taylor made drivers work with the weights. All im saying is i dont get why they are allowed really. To me its a bit cheating.....

I have an odeyssey two ball putter. It doesnt have interchangeable weights so i dont know how you can compare that???
Imo all the money on the FAST irons would be better spent on lessons if you want to play better surely?

I agree with Nash above. Most of these gimmicks require you to have a very specific defect for them to make a reasonable difference.

Ultimately, if you slice/ hook etc, then no club will fix that, just practice and lessons.
