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

Are you talking the Vr Split Cavities, or the Full Cavities?

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.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

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 ?

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership.

    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
