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.

    • 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.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
