Hey guys, Need advice on sets of irons that are forgiving and good for a high handicapper...28 who has problems with consistency specially with 4 and 5 irons. Herd about rac os from taylor made or cobra 3100 i/h...any other suggestions within a 600$ range(could be new or used in good condition).Im used to steel shafts...would graphite be better for me? More forgiving...lighter?Thanks

I would take a look at the Mizuno MX900, though I'm partial to Mizuno. I've heard good things about the Taylormade R7 XD something or other (the game improvement version). You can also pick up a set of Cleveland Launcher irons for real cheap. I used to play them - very long, and very forgiving especially on thin shots.

that said, if you're ok with a used set, you can get pretty much anything you need for 600 dollars. i would also consider dropping the long irons in favor of some hybrids. unless you're a good iron player and/or are in the single digits, most people would be better off without the 3 and 4 irons. as for graphite v. steel, that's primarily dependent on swing speed (among other things)...if you don't know it, how far do you hit a solidly hit 6 iron?

In my Bag:

Nike Sasquatch Tour 9.5*, Diamana BlueBoard 83S
Mizuno F-50 15*
Mizuno F-50 18*TaylorMade Rescue TP 21*Mizuno MP60 4-PWMizuno MP-R 54.10Cleveland CG10 60.08Mizuno Bettinardi C-01

tHANKS, I will look at the mizuno mx 900. I hit a 6 iron to about 160 yards on a good shot....1 shot out of 3 tries or so. I dont know my swing speed but comparing myself to other golfers i see at the range its average tending to fast.That does help?

For high handy's, I would recommend these:

Even the OS2.

Taylormade HT's are extremely easy to hit and high launch angles. The R7 XD version have stronger lofts, so it MIGHT be a tad harder to hit. Just my opinion.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
