I think I've narrowed it down to the Callaway Razr X NG or the Taylormade Rocketballz. I'm going to try them out tomorrow, but right now what do you think the best Irons would be for this price?

I would test-hit the irons to make sure you like them, whatever model you pick.

I just bought a second set for a vacation home so i don't always have to travel with my clubs. I found the Nike MachSpeed clubs for $299. They are pretty decent. I would check them out if you can. I found them a little more forgiving than the TM clubs for $399.

Just the other week I got a set of pre-owned Ping G20 at Roger Dunn in Santa Ana. Perfect condition, and I'm very happy with them. At that budget point, I would seriously look at the trade-in and demo sets your golf store may have. Lots of people trade in clubs that are virtually brand new, no reason not to benefit.

After a lot of research I finally decided on the cb3s with KBS Tour 90 and boxed up my Mizuno Mp-14s. I loved the club head size and the fact they are forged. Loved these so much I just bought another set with the Matrix program 8.1 shafts. These feel exactly like the mizunos felt on a flushed shot except of more forgiveness on the miss hits. Your selling yourself short if you don't give these irons a shot!!!! Not just the best G.I. Iron under $400...... Best G.I. Iron period!!

Agreed i just purchased these same irons few months back have about 4 rounds on em so far and love the forged feel of the iron as well as the size of the clubhead everything feels so right and you can take a divot without a bulky club head reducing the force throught the ground! A+ irons glad you went with the cb3s

I have found that Global underestimates the condition of their clubs. The clubs I bought from them, they said in good cond. however the ones I got looked much better.

I personally enjoy and prefer Dallas Golf (dot com). I frequent their CRP Clubs (Certified Return Products) and that's where I found my 712 AP1s last month. Brand new, all but 2 clubs still wrapped, 4-PW+AW for $499.00. That was a deal I couldn't pass up and I had them ordered within 5 minutes of seeing them.

I've heard that too, and it's good to know that a long-time sponsor is under-promising and over-delivering.

Shame they don't operate in the UK, their stuff looks really good.

But to OP if he is still looking for clubs, try eBay and look for sets maybe 3-4 years old. Some absolute bargains to be had.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
