I would look in the back of circulars or at web sites for bargains and clearance on older model name brand sets for irons. If you live in a larger city golf shops like austads, golf galaxy, golf smith, golf usa sell house brands and will usually give some limited fitting help for free. I reccomend you don't go the Walmart route. A lot of the shafts are junk, and quality control a joke, so if lofts lies, defects occur there is nowhere to go.

Well i have a set of Callaway Steelhead X-14 Irons. Maybe those irons are better than i thought but i can afford up to 300-350 dollars. Ive kinda had my eye on a set of nike slingshot irons but those seem to high for my taste.

Try the Cleveland Launchers, Wilson Fat Shafts, Cobra 3400 IX/H, or the Callaway Big Berthas. I started out with the Fat Shafts and they quickly improved my game. Easy to hit, Affordable, and Fun.

If used is OK, look for a set of Cleveland TA-5s. Very easy to hit and you can still work them a little when you get to that point.

In general, look for a good set that has been replaced in the manufacturer's lineup (Cleveland replaced the TA-5 with the TA-6). Also, work with a pro, get fitted for your irons, or at least have the pro recommend something to start with until your swing gets a little more repeatable. Good luck!

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
