golf clubs new set (irons) suggestions please

So i haven't played for around 3 years or so, i played for almost 5 years daily (worked at a course) and the last set of irons i played were callaway big berthas, rch-90 graphite. (also played some king cobras)

well im currently looking to start up again and was wondering if anyone out there had some suggestions for a new set. I hit the range the other day with a set of loaner clubs still got the swing just need the clubs

 

well depends what your budget is i really like my adams irons hybrids and cleveland driver....how old are you cause graphite shafts on irons is for older people .... a budget would help tho

 

budget wise id say under 900, 31 not that old ha ha, i played some titleist rifled steel shafts but just could not get a feel for them same with some taylor mades.

 

I have taylor-made r7 irons and they are awesome!!!! Not to pricey either

 

well taylormades might bee 900 just for the irons you should look around for a used set. adams are very forgiving and not too expensive

 

they look like some sweet clubs maybe ill take a close look at them, whats your average carry for like 8 or 9 iron

 

if you liked callaway stick with them,. get a set of x18, x20, or x22's. theres a ton of options out there. cleveland irons are good and usually cheaper, i play clevelands

 

forgot to mention 900 just for irons, i still have my woods, wedges, and putter. i will however look into adams but after there tightlies gimmick woods they kinda lost me. But irons i will give a look over.

 

dude...you cant go wrong with cobra irons...i play 3 or so times a week. bought em at xmas and are still like new. i bought the s2 with steel shafts. stevenstaco is right...graphite on irons are for oldies... good to know there are fellow golfers on here tho!!

 

what do you have for woods, wedges and putter? also something to consider that has come a long way in 3 years is a hybrid, 2, 3 and even 4 irons are becoming obsolete

 

what clevelands do you play? hows the overall quality of them?

 

And btw...i played titliest blades for the longest time and never really got as comfortable with them as i am with the cobras

 

if by gimmick you mean hybrids all brands make hybrids now. and if you start playing you will see why the pros use them too...cause they hit like an iron and can carry 200plus off the fairway...cleveland are an excellent club too but not cheap ......just a thought i wonder why there isnt a golf thread on here yet

 

s2's are sweet!

currently i have king cobra 3,5,7w's
56* titleist sw
King cobra gap wedge
cleveland londsdale putter (milled face)

 

The best feeling and sounding irons i have ever played!!! I'll play them until theyre discontinued...then find some more!! ha

 

your correct i will have to give them hybird clubs a try! looks like this might be the golf thread

 

yea and they sting like a mofo on a bad hit!

 

Titleist is not good choice unless you have a very low handicap. Their irons are not very forgiving. Same thing with Mizuno...avoid these brands.

I have played Ping G10's for the last 3 years and find them very easy to hit.

As stevenstaco noted above, I would highly recommend you buy an iron set with hybrids. 90% of amateur golfers are better off with a 3 and 4 hybrid rather than a 3 or 4 iron. Some folks I play with even have 5 iron hybrids.

Personally I play with 2, 3, 4, and iron hyrbids, and a traditional cavity-back 5-iron. My hybrids are Cleveland Hibore xls's.

 

i have a $125 dollar set of tommy armour irons and have never lost a game to my boss. however i am good at golf

bottom line just go to the range and try some different clubs, buy the ones that feel good and help you get that nice natural swing. ive always liked the pings but if i recall they are kind of pricey

and stay away from the oversize heads unless you are horrible and miss the ball alot. they tend to screw you in the long stuff. more surface area to get caught up and they are heavier.
