I hit the ball further then than I do now even though I'm stronger now. And I was 10x more accurate with my blade irons than with the fancy new irons. The problem is that I lost my swing and I've never been able to get it back. I couldn't even break 80 right now.

Yeah the swing has a big part to do with it
My Father is 55 now and driving the ball the furthest of his life... and he wouldnt trade in his newer clubs for the old ones thats for sure!
