iron selection help

[bergeRR]

I am new, real new, bought a garbage pair of Alien clubs to see if id stick out this golf thing. Im sold. Replaced the drive with a SUMO 5900, pure spin wedges that i love, and know exatly what putter and woods im gonna get. I am blown away by the performance of the 5900 and im set on nike irons. Only thing im stuck on is the choice between the SUMO irons and the 4D's. My iron game is slowly improved, but im built for power, not finese, so the short game is lacking, and ball striking is inconsistent as all hell. I found a used set of 4d's on global golf for under 300 with shipping. Anyone want to chime in and give a clueless newb some advice.

Not sure there is a perfect answer here. The Sumo irons (especially the set with hybrids) are going to be easier to hit in the short term because they are really designed to be very forgiving. However, the 4D is also a forgiving set but will also be a bit more versatile going forward. I think the ideal set for you would be to get the 4D, then replace at least the longest club (which I think is a 4 iron in that set) with a hybrid. The best thing to do is just to try both sets and see which one you like the look, feel and sound of best (plus price).

yea im def leaning towards the 4D's, the set i have no has a 3 and 4 hybrid that arent too bad. i swung the 4d's and really liked them, but than again, dont think i know what good is really.

I'd say replace the 3-5 irons with some older Nikes. The CPR and Slingshot are both good, and relatively inexpensive.
