When I rejoined golf last fall I was completely lost on what irons to purchase and blindly got some Taylormade RAC OS 2005 because they were on sale.

I often see people on here asking about iron sets and rarely see them mentioned. Are they good irons for a reborn golfer with a developing swing?

How do they stack up against the newer irons out and would you classify these irons as GI or SGI?

Thanks for the help.

I had a set of these a couple of years back and they were pretty solid for me. I'd put them in the Game Improvement category and not SGI as they aren' super wide soled and are crazy on the tech side or materials but help get the ball up and are fairly forgiving.

I think they'd be a pretty good bet for you, especially at their price and a couple of years from now when your handicap shrinks down you'll be in a better position to see what you want more of (forgiveness, feel, workability) and get a set more tailored to your game at that point.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
