Iron help, please! High handicapper on a budget!

Hello!
I am new to the forum and am looking for some advice. I have been having trouble finding good info from google, so if you know some good sites please share! I am going to go out for high school golf this season but feel like I need new irons.I am a high handicapper, my guess is I shoot a little over 100. My grips are not tacky at all, and some are lumpy (like they have a pencil suck under them allmost). They all feel different. I have a set of square 2 power cavity X. Is it worth regripping these? Or should I get a used set of game improvement Irons? I don't have much to spend, as I am a highschooler and although I have a job, I dont make all that much. Just FYI, I have big bertha knock off woods (1,3,5,7) I use the one as my driver most of the time, but I also have a knight driver. I have trouble playing the clubhead infront of my hands with that club though, so I usually hit my one wood. I hit the 3 or 5 off the tee for long par 3's (like 190 yards) I hit the 5 as a fairway wood, and dont use the 7. My wedges are P, 56, and 64.
Thanks for any advice! If anyone here would sell me a set of irons, I would be able to pay via paypal.

Thanks for reading and any advice!

Adams Idea sets are on eBay for around $150 if that is low enough.

is that with the hybrids and the irons? In my quick browsing it looked a lot higher than that, but I may be looking at the wrong subcatagory of ideas... That is used price correct?

Yeah, hold on I'll find you a good set of irons.

Got 'em:

I have a set of beginner/game improvement clubs that I am willing to sell. They are a 3i and 4i hybrid with normal 5i-PW. PM sent

I would also consider getting rid of that 64 degree wedge (even if you dont have something to replace it with). At your skill level its going to cause more problems than its worth. good luck

I hit a lot of good shots with this wedge, and rarely mishit with it. I use it when I dont want the ball to roll much close to the green and there is no chance of getting on the green otherwise. I don't get much spin, so if I use a sand or P wedge I roll of the back of the green a lot of the time on a couple specific holes on my home course. I know that it is a kinda risky club for me so I have played 5 rounds with it then 5 rounds without it, and had much better shots around the green with it. Same thing with my diver/1wood, I played 5 rounds with each and have to take a lot of penaltys when I use the driver, so the one wood works better for me.

I thought a driver and a 1 wood were the same thing.

Well, this says one one it and is a lot smaller than a driver. I will post a pic if you want. It is only like 200 CC I would guess but probbably way off, and hits allmost as far as my driver.

Am bidding on this. EDIT- lost at last second...

the driver and a 1wood are the same thing. your set is probably a few technologies ago so the head on the "1wood" aka driver, is smaller than the new ram driver.

here are my two cents on your irons:
i suggest goin to a golf shop and demoing alot of cavity back irons, forget about blades at your current handicap and skill level they won't do much to help your enjoyment of the game. for a nice set of used or new irons look at adams, ping g5, tommy armour irons are very nice to learn on. bottom line, get something forgiving but shows you enough feedback so you can improve your game. make sure u get steel shafts on the irons as graphite will be too light for a kid in high school(i am also in high school and had a set of graphites). whatever clubs you get, make sure they work for you.

This is a well intentioned statement. But if you hit the 64 well keep it. A lot of people say the same thing about the 60. But it's just not true. I'm sorry to say that. The problem with lob wedges and high handicappers isnt the club, but the type of shots they are trying to play with them. Lob wedges are great for the beginner who misses a lot of greens. They can use them for half, 3/4 and full shots. The lob wedge also works well as a low risk, high reward chipping club. I know Tiger uses one club around the green for most of his shots (a 60*). But we amateurs are not Tiger. We need options.

In your search for affordable clubs remember, If you hit it well then it's good for you. But don't forget to be really honest with yourself on how those clubs perform for you. And always consider how they perform on a whole, not just when you and they are at their best. Good Luck!

Even though you are looking for a more inexpensive set...it is work at least making sure that the length and shaft is fit for your swing.

I have always liked Cobra irons. They are less expesive, but have the advantages of good technology and forgiveness. I'm in a set now and they have been great.

These are now $95.00 buy it now, that seems like a great deal to me for a quality starter set, especially since you get the 3 and 4 hybrids with it.... jmoc

i have a set of hogan edge cft for sale. you can prob get a better deal on ebay for the adams, i personally like hogan better though.

3-pw and a 56* make me an offer

I really have no idea, can you please send me a pm with a price?
