I have a dilemma. I am 25 now. I played competitively in highschool and continued playing until 5 years ago. Handicap was down to a 7. Havent played in 5 years but want to start up again. Ive been to the driving range 5 or 6 times and it feels like i never quit playing, still making solid contact and hitting them straight. went to roger dunn and tried out the burner 2.0 superfast woods and irons, the razr woods and irons, and the titleist irons.

hit the burners ridiculously well and LONG, hit the razrs solid, and had some luck with the ap2. all things being equal, what irons will serve me good now and as i start to play more, and better.

I murdered the ball with the burner 2.0 driver but all the options on the razr have me questioning whether or not to go with the burner or razr.

opinions?

i want to get clubs that will last me a few seasons and appreciate all of your help

You can't go wrong with an of those clubs. Its all about what you like looking down at, and what makes you feel confident. I personally like the Taylormade woods over the Callaways, but only due to looks. As far as irons go, I would get a nice set of cavity backs with shafts that fit you. Same for the woods. Make sure that you are hitting the right shafts.

Burners are only long because they're standard to a stronger degree than other clubs. ie. their 7 iron is like a normal 6 iron

Take that into account.

And they're longer in total length than everyone else, too boot (a Taylormade trademark, to sell distance).  It sounds like you have pretty good hand-eye coordination, as that extra length and lower loft isn't hurting you like it would the average golfer.  But all things being equal, there won't be much difference between any of them, so it comes down to what you like to see at address, hear at impact ("feel" is interrelated to sound, and is different for everyone) and that the new sticks are properly fitted.  Brand doesn't matter- that's a personal choice.

    • The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.
    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
