Forgiving Irons

[rangeboy55]

I am sort of a beginner at golf and im in the market in purchasing some forgiving irons. N-E one know a set that i can purchase for a pretty resonable price?

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!

Try some Titleist blades! They're cheap and easy to hit...
