I need a new set of irons to replace my Dunlops. I would prefer them to be under $500 and want game-improvement irons.

Driver- Insight Tech A4 with Matrix Ozik shaft
Fairwood- Exotics CB2 7 wood
Hybrid- Burner 08 3 Hybrid
Irons- XCG Irons 4-PW,SW
Putter- GT Max

There are tons of wonderful name brand sets out there within your price range, from Ping G10s to Callaway X22s to Taylor Made Burners. My suggestion would be to find your local used club dealership and hit irons that tickle your fancy. I look for sound, feel, and visual appeal. From there if your still in the researching phase buy one club, via ebay or local used golf club shop, and take it to the range and hit some from the grass. I recently bought a few irons myself, one X-Forged 6 iron and one X-20 6 iron, just to get a feel for them both before I commit. Either way do lots of research because those clubs may be with you for a while. No one likes buyers remorse. Good luck and have fun, nothing is more enjoyable then purchasing a new set of sticks.

I like the Ping G5s, Ping has always been good to me and my buddies. The G5s are work horses, they will last forever. Good luck and have fun.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
