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.

Got the clubs from Global Golf today and you guys were right. They are definately alot better than I expected. Except for a few scrtches on the bottom, they are like new. I would definately buy something from them again.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Ah ok I misunderstood. But you did bring to light an oversight on my part.
