Srixon makes the i701 irons, they are a forged cavity back with an undercut channel behind the face that positions the center of gravity lower and further back for higher launch and more forgiveness. They are forged for a soft feel and you can play into them pretty nicely. Henrik Stenson played them for a while, recently switching back to his older i506 irons. The bonus is that you can pick up a set on eBay for under $400.

In my Srixon staff bag:

Fairway: Adams RPM LP 13 degree - Grafalloy Epic X

you can get a set of irons custom built to your needs for right around $200. You can also order just the irons that you want.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I've heard that only "older" individuals use graphite (late 50s). I prefer steel shafts (I've used graphite before) and I'm young.

you've heard wrong. todays graphite shafts have come a LONG way performance-wise.

also, i dont think anyone in this thread has suggested graphite shafts anyways

You have heard wrong. A shaft designer can do alot more with graphite. They can change kick points, torque, etc. WHile a quality Steel shaft can be resonably priced. (A True Temper Dynamic Gold can be had for around $10~$12) A quality graphite shaft will easily be double that or more. Cheap grapite shafts exist, but they are well. Cheap.

I picked up my Ping i/3 O-Size irons for less than $250. They were mint, with 2-3 of the clubs never been hit. Great super game improvement irons. New G5s are going for less than $400.

Look around, you can find some great deals if you have a little patience.

USED Ping Eye 2's

I would second that. They have stood the test of time. Good feel, workability, and forgiveness. And dirt cheap to boot.

TaylorMade RAC OS2 Irons, I believe they were orginally offered in 2005, they are really excellent clubs, nice feel, good forgivness. They are getting harder to find new, but if you can locate a set you can usually get them for a sweet price.

I just got a new set of Adams A3 irons for $299 at Golf Galaxy. I have been an Adams fan for awhile now, I replaced my GT2 undercuts with these. I also have an RPM 3W.

They hit nice - straight and far. You can get them a little cheaper than this on ebay. But, I wanted instant gratification and also wanted to hit them first. The A3 OS were pretty nice too but the ball ballooned a bit too much for my liking and they were a few hundred more. These too though you can get on ebay for around $300. Had I liked the A3 OS more I would have bought them on ebay.

Consider clone clubs, as well. Pinemeadow and GigaGolf are often highly recommended. You can get Ping G10, TaylorMade R7, and Callaway X-22 clone iron sets for $150 or so.

    • Greg Norman reveals plan for LIV Golf teams to have their own courses LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman wants teams to follow Premier League clubs in having their own home games. Here you go. Enjoy.
    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too.
