Hi all, i am new here and absolutely love the game of golf.

I started about 3 years ago with a mix match set of clubs ranging from brands to different stiffness shafts.  2 years ago i purchased a set of titelist 704 irons which are blades for those who don't know and they are stiff shafts.  I shoot terrible with these clubs getting about 1 good shot for every 5 swong.  I went to the gold and ski warehouse in Hudson MA they told me that the clubs i have are for someone who shoots a 5 handicap.  now i am no 5 handicap i shoot boggies with the occasional par.

My question to you is what clubs would you suggest.  Obviously i would be looking at a set of cavity backs but do you suggest a stiffness or brand.  I dont care if they are a couple of years old my biggest issue is price.  I am looking to spend around 400 bucks.  I have a pretty fast club swing speed.

My thoughts were some king cobras or Callaway.

Any suggestions would be great, i am not very good with picking out clubs and am affraid to trust sales guys because they just want to sell you what they have.

Thank you

Kyle

I just thought id fill you guys in on my situation.  I found a used set of 09 callaway X22's.  I bought them with a 2010 taylormade 10.5 driver for 320 bucks.  The clubs were only used for a season.  The kid bought them as left overs .  I think i got a great deal on them.  i cant wait for my ACL to finish healing which i tore snowboarding this year so i can test these clubs out.

The X-22's are a good iron.  I had a set of those shortly after I started playing.  I just built myself a new set of irons, and my brother said he wants to give my X-22's a whirl.

      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.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
