Good, cheap 3-PW irons

[Jesh]

I'm probably getting new irons this offseason, ones that'll help me improve my game. I'm thinking either the Nike CCi Forged or the Titleist 755 forged, but does anyone have anymore to try, that I could get for less than $300 used.

The Taylormade R7's feel great and look good.
I would also recomend the titleist ap1 and ap2's.

Can't go wrong with the Nike OSS Slingshots. I know they might be a little old in the model, but trust me, you'll love them. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. BUT WAIT. THERES MORE.

If you try them in the next 2 days, you'll also get a 5-10 yard distance gain on your irons! FREE!! Act now, because you know we can't do this all day.

Nike Slingshot 4D
Callaway X18
Taylormade R7

Try those and see which one you like the best! But honestly, you can't go wrong whichever you choose.

Wilson Staff has some great priced iron sets. Mine were 125$ shipped to my door with new golf pride grips and they had never been hit.

I picked up some x18's last year for $200 used. I loved them for the price... they were a very forgiving iron. These clubs made me stick with Callaway when the x22's came out.

Consider some of the Tommy Armour 845 versions - 2002 era. Silver Scots and Stripes are two of the models.

Clubs are a bit old, but rank in the Super Game Improvement category (MPFs in 750 to 825 range). Gets ball up, but workable.

I see them from time to time in bags of people I play with, alongside current drivers and hybrids. Not sure what shafts 845s have. But, test hit them, and you might find something interesting.

Anyone else play them?

There are some Nike cci forged irons here in the marketplace for $220 shipped right now. Good buy if there in good shape!

J 33`s for a 16.5? I play them-they look good,feel good,excellent irons. But,for a 16.5? I`d go Ping I 5. Great irons and alot more forgiving than the "blades",IMO. But, you gotta go with what floats your boat,and everyone`s different. Hit a bunch,and go with what feels good.

[clearwaterms]

if you didn't want to go used - you could also consider the Acer XK's from Hireko. Golf Digest ranked them a top value, and they are excellent irons. You can have also pick shafts, as well as lie angles to have them customized to fit your needs.

[Tar Heel]

Without browsing used sets, I got my W/S Pi7s for $350 new not long ago and couldn't be happier. Given the sets you listed, it sounds like you may be in the market for forged irons, though. They've given me the forgiveness and workability I wanted in an iron with little offset and a compact head as advertised.

[Nikonut]

Maybe Hogan CFT Irons.
Just because I have some to sell, does not flavor my suggestion.
maybe.

J33 cavity backs aren't blades.

Ironically, they look more like a blade than the irons Ping markets as blades.

Great question. I like those choices, especially the 755's. There seem to be a ton of Titleist DCI sets on ebay for $200 or less. If you want to go REALLY cheap, check out some Nicklaus N-1's. I played those for a long time and I believe it's a steal getting a set that good for around $50.

Happy hunting!

I'm going through the same thing you are, have hit a lot of clubs talked about so far and have it narrowed down to:
1. Bridgestone J36 PCs
2. Mizuno MX25s (maybe a little more Game Improvement than you're looking for)
3. Ping i5's

Have the Ping i5s in my bag right now because someone offered them up as a trade for my old irons (Titleist 775), didn't expect to like these as much as I do, I looked at the G/I10s and didn't care for them but these things flat out work for me. Have only gotten in a few session at the range, but put them head to head with the J36s and the J36s were sold the next day, if you are still looking I'd highly recommend giving these a try.

Bridgestone J36 Pocket Cavity Irons. Forget used. You can buy these forged irons NEW on ebay for 300 or less - with project X 5.0 or 6.0 !!!
