After just beating it around for a few years, I am really working on improving my game. Currently, as a 19 handicap, I am using a set of Cobra 3400 I/XH that I bought like 3 or 4 years ago. I would like to get a new set of irons that might give me a little more feel. Any suggestions?

I think you should diffinetly go with a cavity back iron but if you are loking for some feel i would try the r7s, the taylormade tour burners and the callaway x20 tours and if you really want a blade type iron with a ton of feel i would try the callaway x forged (one of the best feeling irons on the market but expect to be 5 to 10 yards shorter that the irons that i have allready listed)

Burner 10.5* driver
Burner 3 wood GD Pershing Shaft
Burner 5 wood GD Pershing Shaft
Tour Burner irons
Rac black 52* Rac satin 60* Red x 3 pro v1

Hi

Having gone through the same process recently, I would recommend the following to demo:

Titleist AP1 (which I purchased)
TM R7
Callaway X-20
Mixuno MX-950

Once again - it's all personal.

In my Sun Mountain 3.5 light stand bag:

Driver: Burner (10.5 degree)
Hybrids: 3DX DC (17 degree)
Irons: Taylormade R7 (4-AW)SW: Vokey Spin Milled (56 degree)Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 (coming soon)Balls: Pro V1 and NXT Tour

KS, I think you may have meant "

lots of feel". Also (and I could be mistaken about this), but I don't think that the MX-19s are forged. I would add Callaway FTs and PING G10s to the list of game-improvement irons to demo and consider. Especially the FTs if you want something that is very forgiving, but looks a little more like a players iron.

I would not be one to ask about this, but I would definitely find someone that is not full of a sales pitch in a demo day or golf store and get them to let you try a bunch. Just make sure that they are not trying to sell you only and not help you.

When I got my Mizuno's, I went to a golf store where I had been going and really liked the people there, and that worked out well for me.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
