I used to golf awhile ago, and never really got an actual set. I just collected irons, and got a driver set. Now after a few years of not golfing, I want to get back in it. I figured I would buy a used iron set, and if I get serious about it then eventually I would upgrade. So I have got a lot of offers on sets, but I picked out a couple that I figured might be good sets. They are:

Rams(dont know what edition) 1,3,5 wood3-pw for $125
Adams RPM Irons 4-9 and gw, sw, pw with winn Xi7 grips for $130
Taylor Made RAC OS Irons, and nike ignite putter all for $150, but I think if I didnt want the putter it would be $100

Im guess the Taylor Mades would be the best by far. And I really would like them, but I dont know if I will because just like me everyone else might want them just as bad. Can anyone help with my decision? And give me any advice.

Driver: 440 SZ
3 Wood: Hi Bore 15 degree
Hybrid: G5 19 degree
Irons: RAC HT 3-pw
56 Degree: Vokey Design 256-1060 Degree: Vokey Design SM60-08Putter: White Hot #1Ball: Burner TP LDP

I have no experience with the RPM irons, but I do have an RPM fairway wood that I like a lot and play the A3 irons which I love. I would guess the RPM would be a decent set.

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
