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.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
