Thanks all. Plenty to think about! I guess its now a case of waiting to see which of the above come up on ebay...

Wow thanks for all the replies guys! Much appreciated. On the ping eye2's point- I was considering mentioning these in the first post. Are they as forgiving as the modern game improvement irons? So it seems like all of the above suggestions will be suitable (provided I get the right shafts), and there is no particular stand-out range? Right now I'm leaning towards the eye2's or mizuno mx-20s given the above feedback, price range and further research!

Thanks. Good to know I'm on the right lines then! Thanks for clearing up the BB models issue- I wasn't sure whether the changes from season to season were significant or simply cosmetic. Any more views/input much appreciated!

Hi all. I'm just getting into the game and have been playing for 6 months or so. I'm looking at buying my own set of clubs and thought this would be the best place to get some advice! After doing some reading, I've decided it would be best to invest in a second hand set of quality irons rather than new but poor quality irons (as my fellow newcomers have). I'm a student and so haven't got much of a budget at present (£120/ $200). But I'd much rather gradually build up a decent set of quality clubs which will last than buy a "complete" low-quality set. So basically, I've been looking around for some good quality irons which are very forgiving for beginners and will last for a good few years. I've come up with a few ideas which are around the budget (on ebay). 1, Callaway Big Bertha (I guess the most recent version the better) 2. Taylormade RAC HT 3. Ping G10 4. Mizuno MX-19 Am I on the right lines here? Any other suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Tiger all the way!!!

Total novice here. Hence the rather shabby local venue: www.moretonhills.co.uk Can't complain though; don't need anything more at the moment ,

Student in the UK. Despite the "credit crunch", looking into getting some new clubs. Student debt + credit crunch = second hand on ebay me thinks!!!
