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!

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.

I think used irons are a good thing...you can get a nice set of irons for tons cheaper than a new set that will work just as good

    • Terry - what a story…I’m about 12 yrs your junior but I do have friends in similar places of life. Like others have said - “go for it”.  The fact that you’re willing to challenge yourself in the midst of dealing with something like Parkinson’s is hero level stuff….looking forward to seeing how this great adventure plays out and make sure to get some of it on video as well.  Make them memories dude! 
    • Played nine today. Just went out trying to make a swing that had the feels of what I am working on. I would give it a C- at best. The best swing came on the 9th hole, 220 yard par 3, downwind. I finally made a swing where I felt the pause, and the arms down stuff like I practice. I hit the 4 iron about 215 yards, it rolled just off the back of the green about 20-Ft from the pin.  I might play 10 yards shorter on every iron shot, and make that pause swing, cause I can still hit it about 90-95% the distance.  Distance wedges or 3/4 wedges are going to different. Shanked two of them today trying the pause, arms down stuff. Might spend a bit of time looking at the video on those shots specifically.   
    • Day 350: good practice session today. Hit about 25 balls, working slowly on my priority piece. It looks decent in slow motion. Better at full speed but not quite there. Then putted for about an hour. Focused on putts inside 10’ but also did a stack putting session. 
    • Two of my golfing Buddie's are left handed. I will play a couple of rounds and use their clubs and see how I do.  Played last Thursday and had the worst game ever. (Playing in really strong winds. (SW @ 20 to 30 mph with > gusts.)  Will let everyone know when I get back out. May not play until Monday.   Thanks everyone, for your encouragement.    Terry
