Hi, im a 20 yr old golfer with a 20 handicap. I play 2-3 times a week and Im in the market for a new set of irons to improve my game. I dont have a bad swing I just need to make more consistent solid contact. As of right now I am using the original Wilson Fat Shafts with a regular flex. I am looking for a better set of irons with a stiff flex. I dont think i want cavities anymore but im not gooa enough for blades so im leaning towards player irons. I was looking at Nike Cci's. I was wondering if anyone had any input on what a good set of irons would be that fit my game well. Thanks in advance.

Funny you should say that.

I'm 24, my handicap is in the low 20s, I play 2-3 times a week, and I just bought a set of Mizuno MP-57s. Literally, I just paid this morning. My swing, I'm told, is pretty good and I regularly hit my irons well. Whether the cut muscle is right for me, I'll know in a few weeks. It sure felt great at the demo days, the fitting, and in the store!

Seeing how often you play I think you made the right judgement in getting "player" irons. The options are limitless, well not really, but it really is what fits your game the best.

Options that I went through before choosing the r7 TPs.

NIke CCi Irons
Callaway X20 Tour Irons
Mizuno MP 60 Forged Irons
Mizuno MP 32 Cut Muscle Irons
TM rac MB TP Forged Irons

The last ones I hit were the r7 TPs. These to me felt the best and the launch monitor seemed to agree with me so thats the decesion I made.

So many options to choose from. I say just go to a local pro shop or a Golfsmith type of place and swing away. What works for someone might not be the best for another.

Best of luck to you. Most frustrating decesion in golf is which Irons to get.
In My Bridgestone Stand Bag:

Driver: TM r7 425 TP (8.5*) Stiff
Wood: TM Ti 5 Wood (18*) Stiff
Irons: TM r7 TP Irons (3-PW) RegularGW LW: TM rac Satin TPs ( 52* 56* 60*)Putter: TM Rossa Monza Spider Balls: Bridgestone B330s

Well, my credit card online statement says I paid $974.16. I ordered the MP FLI-HI 3-iron, MP-57 irons 4-9, and MP-T wedges 47.6, 51.6, and 56.14. Then there must have been a sale, because each club costs $100 or so, and I got ten clubs, and the cost is under $1000.

I'll be giving a full report towards the end of May, when I've had them for a week or so. They're being ordered special at the moment.

my dad uses rac os's and i just dont feel comfortable playing them. ive never know anyone using mizunos so i was skeptical at even looking at them. and callaways tend to be out of my price range. im a college student so funds tend to be tight....

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
