Alright guys, im going to get fitted for some irons this weekend, im fairly new to golf (played ALOT when i was a kid, stopped playing gold and got serious about baseball throughout high-school and my 1st year in college). I started back with my dads OLD noname irons that he had replaced recently. I know these clubs are not right for me so...I want to get something that is.

I would like some suggestions on irons to try out. I'm looking for something with forgiveness, but something that I can keep for a while and can really improve myself with.

I'm looking for ANY suggestions. From older model clubs to newer clubs.

I would say that my score range is probably in the 90-100 range with mulligans here and there. Thanks and sorry to rant : )

I'd suggest the Cobra FP series, or even the Ping Eye 2's. They might be old, but they are definitely great clubs. I would go with anything that's moderately cheap, that you can keep until you are good enough for a new set. I have been playing my Cobra FP's for a year now, and don't see myself purchasing a new set for a few more years. I'd suggest going for a used set in great condition, or an older model that you can get for a good discount. Try ebay. Good luck!

if you're scoring 90's and you have a good swing,,,looking to seriously get back into it, then I'd say mp57. thinner profile. players club but it's forgiving. but best bet, do a blind hit test

Yeah, narrow it down to five manufacturers/models and just see which you hit best. That's what I did and I ended up with the Nicklaus Polarity MTR's. Most MOI of any iron supposedly and that = forgiveness.

I was a 100-110 golfer for the first 4 years using a no-name set of clubs a buddy gave me. I too decided to amke the investment and after doign ALLOT of research, decided on the Taylormade R7 draw's. The two biggest ddraws to this club for me was #1: I tend to have a slice - th eonly questions is how bad. the secodn is golf digest rated #1 for "improvment clubs" in 2007 (the year they were released).

Another big draw was you can practicly steal them on ebay - can get a set new for $300-$350 dependng if it has the PW or GW. I got mine used for just under $200 and counlt be happier. The set I gto was missing the 4 so I got a rescure draw 4 hybrid and agin, LOVE this club! Out of the rough it is fantastic!

I'm hoping the wife will buy my a Buner Draw 9.5 Driver for our anniversary! I have played the Buner and let me tell you, thats is one SWEEEEET driver. Dont even swing hard and it's a 250-275 yard drive...

what kind of money you looking to spend?

I like the idea of the r7 draw they are going $299 3-pw and a free sw. Sounds like a steal to me.

Personally, I've always played pings, so if you are looking for a great set to last you, and have cash to spend, go for the g10's at $700.

G10 10.5* TFC 129 S
906F4 15.5* Aldila VS Proto S
Burner Rescue 19* ReAx Superfast S
I10 3-LW AWT XS
Karsten Series Anser 2 35" Pro V1 or HX Hot BiteC'mon single digits!

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
