Here's my situation: I do not want to spend a lot of money on an iron set (I'm only 17 years old). So I can get a new set of Tommy Armour Silver Scot Forged CB, used Mizuno mp-30, used hogan apex plus, or something else.
Does anyone have any suggestions on other clubs or experience with the clubs mentioned?

In my Ogio Ozone Bag:
TM Superquad 9.5* UST Proforce 77g Stiff
15* Sonartec SS-2.5 (Pershing stiff)
19* TM Burner (stock stiff)

I just bought a set of Mizuno MP-30's on ebay and I love them! Take some getting used to, but they are far superior to my old irons. $220 shipped, 4-PW, and they're in excellent shape. Main thing is to try and be patient; eventually a good deal will come up. The main thing to remember about buying forged irons on ebay is to check the photos, since these irons wear easily and I saw more than a few sets that were in pretty rough shape.

I don't think you can ever go wrong with a set of forged Hogans. I demo'd the TA Silver Scot CBs, and found the 6.0 shafts too stiff for me, the 5.0's much better but a little loose. I have an set of BH Grinds with Apex 4 shafts that I like very much. The shafts seem to have a great balance between feel and control.

Even against todays irons I think it is hard to beat a set of Ping Eye2's in decent shape - plenty available on ebay and relatively easy to work out the custom fit options for yourself.
I definetly agree with comments above re: taking your time and shopping around on ebay!

Driver - RAM FX V

Irons - Titleist DCI 4-PW

I wouldn't worry about knock offs in used clubs. I"ve bought over 200 things on ebay and been very happy. Only buy from people with pay pal and with high positive feedback.

check golf galaxy regularly they get alot of trade ins you might stumble on some gems

If you are looking at the Hogans, you can get them brand new at rockbottomgolf.com for $260 - Stiff Steel, or $300 Graphite, both sets have hybrid 3 and 4 irons. Couple that price with a 10% off coupon by google searching and you get a new set cheaper than a used from ebay. Dont ask me how they sell them for that price when the retail is 7-800, but it worked for me. I just got mine ($230 shipped), cant wait for this rain to stop so I can get out and try em out for the first time. 3balls.com also has used "like new" MP-32s for $600.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
