Why just Taylormade? I recently went for new clubs and I hit Taylormade, Callaway and Wilson and chose the Wilson clubs. I'm not saying the other 2 were bad. The Wilson just felt better to me. I would suggest hitting a few brands to see.
Probably the best thing to do, however,is to get fitted by a pro.

I would possibly look into trying out the r7 irons as well as there are some pretty good deals around since those are an older model.

You can grow with any set of clubs. There's no clubs that limit your games progress. Get which ever one you hit best now and don't worry about that future.

Not necessarily trying to pick on the OP but people like this kinda crack me up.

I played with a random guy I met last week who had:

Taylormade leather tour bag
Taylormade woods
Taylormade irons
Taylormade hat
Taylormade shirt
Taylormade putter
Taylormade wedges

So the 3 of us all hit drives down the middle and I say "who's playing a Taylorma....." ahh nevermind this one is yours!

Yeah its funny for me too, I don't really even love my r7s that much, theyre just the same as all other irons in their class. I dont get why people pay more, as those burners you the OP wants, will perform the same for irons in the same category, which probably can be had for cheaper

Well as you can see there are other clubs but Taylor Made in my bag and the only reason I have a Taylor Made bag is I won it.. I have demo'd other irons from Callaway to Ping ext.. I happen to like the burners better and for 300$ for a brand new set please tell me where i'm going wrong. O and by the way I wear a cleveland hat LOL...

Lol if you can get either of those for 300 new, i would jump on it right now. As long as you hit them good.

With a 25 handicap the r7 draws would be a great club for you and they are only like 400$ new at most golf stores, but if you want to get more of a traditional club the regular r7s are great they are probably one of the best irons made

Burner 3 wood GD Pershing Shaft

Tour Burner irons
Rac black 52* Rac satin 60* Red x 3 pro v1

    • I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.   Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor Podcast Episode · Golf IQ · March 2 · 35m Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor — Golf IQ Erik Barzeski, Director of Instruction at Golf Evolution, is the father of a golf pro and an author, but also has the perspective of someone who works with juniors.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
