Am I ready for Tour Irons?

[David]

I am 14 years old, about a 10-13 handicap. I am currently trying out for my varsity high school team. I am wondering if I am good enough for tour irons. I have demoed regular irons at Golf Galaxy, but not tour irons.

If you think you are then you are. Most people will tell you to stay away from them. But if you are a good golfer who hits the ball well the will make you better. One you get better feed back. Two they make you slow you swing down a little to make sure you hit it solid, that will help anyone. Forged clubs will spin the ball more as well. The forged clubs that they make now are pretty forgiving as well. If you want to play them go for it you wont be sorry. You might want to make the team first and then ease into them.

Your skill might be there, but to be honest, you are still going to grow; you;re only 14 and will continue to gain height and fill out until you are at least 18. If you want tour irons, then you're not going to buy them online or find them at a garage sale, you will will get properly fitted for them. No point in putting that time and expense into a set you will have grown out of by this time next year.
