Looking for recommendations for a new set of irons. I took up the game 2 years ago and started with Adams A2os irons reg flex. I started around a bogey plus handicap and am now down to a 6. I find that my 3-6 graphite shaft have too much whip and I am beginning to learn to shape my shots and control the trajectory. So I am looking for suggestions on a set that would better suit my swing now. I know I could go to the pro-shop but I don't want to spend a grand. I'd rather buy a year old set. Thanks!

I would highly recommend the Titleist 710 AP2's. They look similar to a blade from adress, but have more forgiveness than say Mizuno blades, or the Titleist MB and CB's. You should definately try them out if you can. I got 3-PW new off ebay for $600. Plenty of nice used sets for $450-$550. Best of luck.

I just picked up a brand new set of Mizuno MP-57's custom fitted with a bag and wedge for $699 from a local golf retailer clearing out to make room for the new models. Don't discount the pro shops and local golf stores yet.

i agree, ive got those with the kbs stiff shaft and they are amazing! Best clubs ive ever had, and there has been a few! With your handicap and what your looking to do, it sounds as if you would be suited to something like these!

Why not look for what you have, but with a stiffer shaft. You got down to 6 in 2 years with the Adams irons, so they're probably a decent fit.

Check out GPP Golf and another vote for the Nike VR Split Cavities for less than $600 or maybe if you like Adams Golf, the CB 1 or CB 2 are both forged and feel great. Either clubs mentioned will give you great feel and shot shaping capabilities. Also you might look into the Titleist AP2 or CB irons both good clubs, I'd lean towards the CB's..

Ping S56's...they just came out and are some sweet hitting clubs. They come with KBS and DG shafts stock with other shaft options available. Go get fit and order a set of these sweet clubs with whatever shaft you like. You won't be dissappointed. They've been winning like crazy on tour with these since release. If you're looking to shape shots and control trajectory like you stated these are your clubs!

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
