i'm currently in the process of replacing my set of nike nds irons because within the year that i've owned them i've outgrew them and to get them refitted would be more than i payed for the whole set. I was wondering what a good set of irons would be for an 8hcp and the most of my shots are thrown away while on the green putting.

i have very consistent ball striking and from working with a local fitter my problem with missing greens was more a problem with having a to soft of shaft in my irons. i have heard great things about mizunos, titleist, and bridgestone irons but i was wondering which models would be the best.

I would consider the Mizuno mp30s, mp32, mp60 irons on ebay for about $200-$400.

Titleist 910 D2 9.5 Driver
Titleist 910 F15 & 21 degree fairway wood
Titleist 910 hybrid 24 degree
Mizuno Mp33 5 - PW
52/1056/1160/5

"Yonex ADX Blade putter, odyssey two ball blade putter, both  33"

I see that you are from Bowling Green OH - I would highly recommend taking a small road trip to Carl's Golfland in MI. There are 2 stores which are a little more than an hour from you. They have an outside range and you can try almost every imaginable club. I have had teriffic luck with them, knowledgeable staff and great selection. They tyipcally had a very good used club section as well due to all the trade ins.

I have purchased 2 sets of irons from them and was very satisfied. If you don't want to travel as far, see Nick at South Toledo golf - they do a very good job with custom fittings.

Good luck. - Ex Maumee OH

Cobra L5V - Just waiting for the ZL to have a lower price
Cobra F Speed 2006 3 wood - very underrated 3 wood

I went from a game improvement iron (TM RAC OS2) to the Titleist AP2 and haven't looked back. Great feel, distance control and trajectory while still being forgiving enough for me.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
