Which iron set would you chose?

-Taylor Made CGB MAX
-Taylor Made Burner XD
- Callaway FT i-brid
- Callaway FT
- Titleist AP2

I am currently using my father's iron set (Honma Graphite), but I am going to get my 1st iron set soon.

I am new, played golf for several years, #7 130-180 yards, ball usually goes out straight, middle-low accuracy. I want to improve my accuracy and distance . Still improving my swing speed (Currently, 70 miles for irons, 100 miles for Driver)

Some people say, don't buy maximum forgiveness iron set because it's too easy to hit , you won't improve too much. Is that the truth?
If you are in my shoe, which iron set would you chose? Or any other suggestion?

I am going to get my club fitting this weekend.

I’m appreciated you responses.

Driver: 909 D Comp (R)

If im you ill go for the first 4 in your list. They are game improvement irons. Maybe after when you get better and shoot lower then get the Titleist AP2s.

Fairway: Titleist 906 F2, 13* and 18* loft, Fujikura 757 Tour Spec. XS, IOMIC Grip Black
Irons: Callaway Tour Authentic Prototype 3-9, Project X 6.5, IOMIC Grip Black
Wedges: Titleist Vokey 48*, Titleist Proto Vokey 52*, Titleist...

Definately not the AP2's, maybe the AP1's..but at your hdcp you probably can't hit the AP2's.

Ive been pretty happy with the CGBs so far. I used to stay away from the max forgiving clubs for the same reason, but found I wasnt getting any better with the clubs I had. So I have switched to a lot more forgiving clubs. I could see it being a problem if you want a club with workablity because these things go straight on most shots, even the bad ones. Im sure you would be happy with the Burner XD though too, as Ive never had some one give me a good difference between the CGB and the Burner XDs.

i would recommend something like the burner or the R7 irons. in my opinion i believe callaway is over-priced. but by no means still a good company. the callaway x-20 tour irons is a good choice too...

TM and Callaway are both overpriced. Hell, all golf clubs are overpriced!

R7 Superquad 10.5* REAX regular flex shaft
FT 5 wood
675XC forged irons 3-PW, True Temper DG SL stiff(S300) shafts
55* BeCu sandwedge
e6+ balls or ProV1Cougar X-cat putter (odyssey 2-ball rip-off)

haha... yeah i think TM is reasonable.. with the R7 Draw and R7 irons at 399-499 but those callaway FTI-Brids for 1499 that is way overpriced... if i wanted a club like that i would go with either the hibore set or nike oss...
