New Irons

I'm looking to get some new irons. My MacG's are just too thick to work with. So i looking for irons that are cavity backs but have a small topline
i was thinking r7tp or 775's

How much are you looking to spend because the Callaway X-Tours are rediculously nice.

There are a few sets that I would suggest trying out.

Mizuno MX-25
Callaway X-20 or X-20 Tour (The tours have less offset and are more workable)
Titleist 775 or 755 (The 775's are more forgiving and the 775's more workable)
Cleveland CG2 (The CG1's probably don't offer enough forgiveness for a 17 handicapper)
Nike CCI (I've heard the forged version feels better but have not personally tried either set.)
Ping G5

It also depends on how much you want to spend. The Clevelands are a little cheaper than the others. Anyway the best idea is to visit a place where you can try the clbs and see what you like the best.

I really like my MX-25's with the forged feel and it's nice with the cavity back and thin top line.
Take a look....Mizuno MX-25's

Those have a really thick cavity back. Those are nice but Im not really sure if thats what he's looking for. I think he's looking for more of a blade type iron. something like these.

I just sold off my Taylormade Rac LT II, which had a thin top line but reasonable amount of cavity, and was going to switch to Callaway X-20 tour . I tried the X20 tour for a few swings and I immediately returned the clubs to the store. First PXF was not to my likings (but you might like it), the thick top line actually did not help coming from Rac LTII, and could not feel a thing when ball was struck. Tried the X-Forged as well and it really looks nice but the performance wasn't really that great.

r7TP is an awesom club as long as your club does not have to be "forged" but I just realized how much you would be missing not using a forged club. However, I was longer using this clubs and the face was more forgiving. I guess if you are looking to increase distance this would be a good choice also.

755s are really nice too except I didn't like the trispec shaft but you can always custom order from Titleist. They are quite forgiving and distance is average.

I settled for Mizuno MP60s. Quite forgiving, distance was good, control was excellent, balance was perfect, baby butt soft forged feel and great looks at address. I went with the DG S300 Sensicore and it really feels sweet. Besides I wanted to progress with my game further so thought that this would be a good choice.

After months and months of research to get a new set of irons I came to my decision about irons. My personal likings were (in order):

1. Mizuno MP60
2. Mizuno MP32
3. Taylormade r7 TP
4. Taylormade Rac LTII (My previous iron)
5. Mizuno MP67 (Ranked 5th because it was unforgiving but good shots were rewarded)
7. Taylormade RAC TP MB and CB.
8. Callaway X-Forged
9.Cobra Carbon CB
10. Titleist 755
11. Callaway X20 Tour

These were just my rankings but you should try out as many as possible to find out for yourself. Also, RAC LTII was supposed to be classified as player's irons but I first started golf with those sets (when I was scoring 120-130) so I guess you don't really have to be a "player" to own one of those. I got down to mid 80s with RAC LT II before I switched to MP60. Have fun going through the iron selection!

I am a huge fan of KZG Irons. The evolution series forged irons might fit your requirements. Cavity backs for the long irons and blades for the short irons. KZG equipment is affordable and must be fitted for you by an authorized fitter.

Take a look at http://www.kzgolf.com/ * Progresses from Mid-Size Cavity to Blade * Classic Appearance, Modern Performance * The Perfect Blended Set The Forged Evolution irons give each head its own unique design because a players needs vary from club-to-club. With a perimeter weighted cavity-back in the 2-iron; the emphasis gradually shifts from game-improvement to playability and control in the mid irons, ending with an exquisite muscleback blade wedge. It is the perfect progressive set with each iron 10% different from each adjoining iron. Most manufacturers only vary their blended sets by only 3 club increments.
