i have a bit of a problem,i dont know which set of irons to get i dont know if i want nike victory red tw blades,nike vr split cavaties,taylormade tour preffered,callaway x forged '08,cleveland cg reds.i just dont know.someone please help??

if your a beginner def go with anything cavity back due to the extra forgiveness.....anything thats a blade or forged you might want to hold off on due to the fact that the sweet spot is smaller and a decently repeatable swing is needed to hit a crisp shot every time

Are you really a 36 handicap or have you just not changed it from the default yet? If you are, then you probably don't want to be looking at any of those clubs. Otherwise just go out and try them all out and buy the ones you hit best.

You are going to have to give a lot of information for people to help you out. Your playing abilities. What you want from the irons as in playability, forgiveness, and such. If you prefer forged over cast or don't really care. Is budget not an issue? So pretty much you need to help us to help you.

Most likely going to get a lot of opinions on what people like and you won't get a definite answer until you hit them.

sorry about that guys,my real handicap is around 3 i havent changed it.

Have you hit any of these yet? That would be my recommendation. Go hit them all and see which feel the best for you. Being a 3 handicap, you should be able to play any of these clubs well, it'll be mainly which feel right for you. No one else can tell you that.

Well the fact that you are a 3 handicap and are posting about what irons to buy is concerning. I'm with everyone else go hit all of them and go with the ones you like the best.

Yeah it's strange you're a 3 handicap and you're asking such question
Just out of curiosity, what irons do you game right now?

Well i was never a fan of Nike as a golf company, Callaway irons always seem too bulky. I prefer a nice thin top line. I've hit the TMade TP's and they are a solid club and i'm a bit biased towards the CG7 tours. So not trying to sound too bad here...I know you wont be disappointed with the Clevelands, also the deal we have going on is buy a set of irons and when we come out with our next set you get those for free. Just trade in the old. So its basically 2 sets of irons for 1. Really a great deal that is really hard to pass up.

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
