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.

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
