This off season I've decided to invest in a new set of irons to replace the irons that came with my boxed set. I've got everything replaced in that boxed set except my irons which is obviously the biggest bite out of the wallet. I've got it narrowed down to four sets.

-Cobra S2 Max($350 on TGW)
-Nike Victory Red($400 on TGW, Golfsmith)
-Callaway X20($400 on TGW, Golfsmith)
-GigaGolf PowerMax GX922($200)

If you have any comments on one of the sets or any recommendations they would be much appreciated. Also, I've never bought anything off of TGW or Golfsmith so if you have any past experiences with one of them good or bad feel free to comment.

Thanks.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I love the VR split cavities, I know when I hit a bad shot and most of the time I know why. I had the full cavities first and I wasn't satisfied.

Golfsmith is a good site, might want to check ebay, and rock bottom golf as well.

EDIT- Rock bottom golf has the VR full cavities and the Callaway X-20's for 329.99

VR split cavities if those are your only options but also take into consideration the Callaway X-forged. They are $400 at RBG.

I absolutely love my Callaway X20's. Easy to hit, but much more feel than the true game improvement irons. I love the combination of control and forgiveness in these X20's.

The Golf Warehouse, Golfsmith, and Edwin Watts are great places to buy from. Carls Golf is a great place too. I got my wife some clubs from there at a great price.

Also, check out the Callaway Preowned site. That is where all my Callaway clubs come from. They will adjust length, loft, grips, etc.. before shipping if you contact them. If you buy "like new" you are buying brand new in shrink wrap. There is a set of X20's 3-PW in average condition for $249 if you don't mind buying used. These are something you will be beating the ground with after all. Ha ha...

My brother has the X 20s and he loves them. I have hit with them several times and they feel very nice. They are forgiving and make it easy to get the ball in the air.

When all else fails, go to a store and try them out. Irons are definitely a feel thing and getting fitted is a huge deal.

I'm a big fan of the Nike VR's though.

I haven't hit the Cobra S2 Max before but I have hit the regular S2. Good feel for a game improving club. If you don't mind used I have a set of Callaway X-20 4-P irons I'm going to be selling for rather cheap. They're in good condition (8.5/10).

I have been using the Cleveland XLi's HiBore. They look a little odd but they have improved my game. Very high and straight. Also added length. Not very good to chip with though but actually don't need to chip all that much anymore. Hitting more greens from anywhere on the course. (I struggle with straight drives occasionally). I need to figure out which ball works best for my game now.

Do you know if they adjust the lie and length for free ? or is there a charge ?

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
