I want to know what is the best Driver and iron set available at this time.

I think the best irons are the Callaway Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons.

I currently have Mizuno MP-60s and I want to get better clubs because I feel it will improve my game.


My driver is the Titleist 907 D2 and I feel this club is getting old and i can use an upgrade also, I just do not know what driver is the best on the market.

If you are truly a .2 handicap I'd expect the pro you are working with to be the best source of information. At that level, the club itself is trivial and fit is essential. This is something that average hackers such as myself cant do over the interwebs.

There's no objective "best club". There may be a best club for you, but you have to go demo different clubs to find out.

A ridiculous question and one which would certainly never be asked by a person with a .2 handicap. More likely someone who's been playing for 6 weeks. IF you were a single figure golfer you would know that after a point it's about technique, not equipment. But, clearly, you aren't a .2, so you can be like all the other fools who think that then most heavily promoted clubs are "the best".

How could you possibly think that there is an objectively "best" club on the market. What is "best" for you may not be close to best for another. But....FYI, when NIck Faldo didn't have a club sponsorship, he played with MP-60s, your current set, and said that they were the best irons he'd ever hit. So, I don't think your game will suffer if you persevere with them.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

POS is an acronym (piece of sh**).

It was sarcasm. You already have some of the "best irons available". Doesn't mean they work for you, but your handicap seems to back that up.

The idea of someone with a handicap that low asking which clubs are "the best" is ludicrous.

I would bet that if you asked 500 touring pros and 5000 teaching pros which clubs are "the best', not a single one would say anything other than "the ones that suit YOU best".

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

After a burnt offering, tribal dancing and an afternoon of meditation the golf equipment gods have now proclaimed the mp-60 the greatest true players iron ever forged. Consider yourself fortunate and your question complete.

Excellent!

Now the OP can focus on buying the "best ball", and then move on to acquiring the "best tees".

    • On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while. 
    • I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!
    • It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.
    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
