I'm looking for irons that have more feel than my current irons the A2OS, but still have some forgiveness. I am planning on buying used, hopefully so I can get them for less than $300. I was thinking about the Callaway X series irons, would those have more feel than my a2os?

In the carry bag:
'07 Burner 10.5 Driver (S Flex)
Hyper X 5 Wood
J33CB 4-PW Irons (S Flex)
Vokey 54-10 Spin Milled Watson 08 60 Lob Wedge G5i Blade

I believe the X series should have a better feel than the A2OS's. You may also want to consider MP 60's.

My Pops just picked up the new Taylor Made (I believe R9 irons) He picked up 20 yards on every club!

Thats because his new 9 iron is the same as his old 7 iron.

I like my irons for ease of play, but probably can't find them for the money you mentioned. They don't show up for sale used very often.

My next advice would be to get your swing analyzed by a certified club fitter and get their reccomendation.

Lastly, check out almost any set of Pings.

Get titleist AP2 or CB, they are by far the best irons on the market at the moment.

That is funny! you're probably right, but when his 8 iron goes from 120 to 140 I don't really think he cares. :)

That means his PW will go from 80yd to 100yd and he will have to buy two more clubs to fill the gaps. Marketing Genius!! Or he could not fill the gaps and not be a good short game player, that's always an option.

I was looking at the Nike Pro Combo Irons, are those irons forgiving at all? They are used from golfsmith for $200 right now.

In the carry bag:
'07 Burner 10.5 Driver (S Flex)
Hyper X 5 Wood
J33CB 4-PW Irons (S Flex)
Vokey 54-10 Spin Milled Watson 08 60 Lob Wedge G5i Blade

Nice clubs-but definitely on the low end for the "forgiveness scale". High center of gravity, harder to get the ball up, and pure blades in the short irons. A number of great, high quality used irons I can recommend includes Titleist 775s, 755s, AP1s, PING Zing 2s, ISIs, I3s, Mizuno MX-25s, MX-200s, MX-300s. All combine playability and forgiveness.

I was looking at Titleist 755s, but I can't really find any too cheap. I also found Taylormade rac os for 170. Are those irons what I am looking for?

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
