After I saw the thread where Tony bought his DCI 762's, are there any other good irons out there from a few years ago, that I can get for under $200, used or not?

Thanks!

I guess I'm looking for Titleist, as their irons seem to hold their value the best. Looking for a cavity-backed iron with a thinner top line. Thanks.

They are on Ebay all the time. I recently bought a set of DCI 981s for $120. Really, other than the normal ballstrike marks on the club face, the only thing thats wrong with them is that the grips are mismatched.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

I thoguht you loved your irons? Change of heart?

Golden Bears? Too forgiving, and too thick of a topline. Can't stand them anymore. Good for a beginner, but I'm not necessarily a beginner anymore. I'm not that good, but I grew out of those. Or my Nike ones? I haven't gotten the Nike ones yet, but for $400, I think it's a little pricey. I don't like spending that much money at one time, and was wondering if there was anything cheaper and good quality.

Oh how i am in the same boat as you.

I was gonna drop $500+ on a set of cobras, mizunos, or clevelands. Then i needed a driver, then i needed a hybrid/woods. It was just getting too much. Then i found the magic of nickent. I'm spend $400 on a driver, hybrids, and an iron set. I can't find anybody who has tried a nickent and not love it. They are a dominating force on the nationwide tour and thats damn well good enough for me. The cavity backs I'm getting have a thin topline with a moderate amount of offset. Offset doesn't bother me but a thick topline just makes me unconfident . Now i'm not saying GO BUY NICKENT NOW! I'm saying maybe the top company isn't always the best. Look around for something you can afford and be happy with it!

Wilson Pi5 irons should be available for about 199 new.

These are the irons harrington used in last years british.

This year he used the Pi7 irons (i believe), the evolution of the pi5.

I thought you had already had the Nike ones. For that kind of money $400, I would be looking at both Cobra or Adams. Either set could be had in that price range with some cash left over.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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."
