Throwing this one out there...

I've been playing knockoff Callaway X-20 irons for a bit now using the saved money for lessons and it's finally starting to pay off. Having said that, I'm looking to buy some new (well used but new to me) irons and would love any opinions.

My swing speed though is slow (<90), my distance is short and I am ready to start thinking about incorporating more lag into my swing as well as shot shaping.

The irons that have peaked my interest (in no order):

Wilson Ci7
Nickent 3DX Pro
Srixon I506

My father has a set of Mizuno T-Zoid irons that he leaves in my garage for when he comes to play. They feel great but I always think I need a bit more cavity to be consistent with them. As before... any opinion would be great... especially if you've hit with all 3 sets. I'm just trying to decide. Thanks.

I hit them straight but i really can't feel if I've hit them straight or not. I know how well I've hit the ball by the flight... I'd like some feel... and I'd like to reward myself when I break 90.

For the price I'd vote 3DX Pros which I play now, but nothing wrong with what you have if they work.

i would suggest getting the srixon's. i hit some at a pro shop recently and they felt great although i still recommend going and hitting all three you're looking at and then buying online through craigslist, ebay, or a site like callawaypreowned.com (although i don't think they have any srixons).
In the bag:
983k 9.5° YS-6 graphite shaft driver
F Speed LD Mens 3 Wood 15.5° Graphite Design Tour AD YS Stiff
2H 18° Baffler Pro with Fukijura Speeder Stiff Graphite Shaft
3H 20° Baffler Pro DCi irons 4-PW + S Rosa putter

wow, all 3 of those are some of my favorite iron sets out right now. you cant go wrong with any of them. GREAT CHOICES!!! however, if it was me, this would be my vote in order:
1. Wilson Ci7
2. Srixon i506
3. Nickent 3DX Pro
also, have you given any thought to the Nickent 4DX Pro's? I LOVE the Ci7's and I am seriously considering picking up a set of those myself

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.

      Day 1 - 2025-12-20 Starting a new streak, of at least 1. With rain dumping for the next week in the north bay area, I'll be a lot of outdoor net work and maybe some putting. About 10 minutes of 7 iron work, focused on the usuals: weight transfer, keeping hands behind me. I'll have more time in the coming days for video review and maybe some Hack Motion.
