Looking For A New Set of Irons And A Putter

[RedCallaway]

Hello!

I have decided that it's time to put a set the old set of Dunlop LoCo's and upgrade. I'm not to sure what to get, I tried a set of TaylorMade Burner's last year, but unfortunately I don't recall their specifics. I have a budget of around $450, and I'm looking for a lot of suggestions and feedback on what I should look at getting.

Now onto the putter, I also have no idea what to get. I really dislike those traditional putters (the skinny ones), and am looking for a "heavier" putter.

All help will be appreciated!

Thanks.

Their top recommendation was the White Ice 2-Ball C/S, at $199.99 it's a tad pricey for me. But Odyssey putters are pretty darn nice, I'll have to check that one out at GolfTown and try out a few more Odyssey's.

Last year's irons - especially the cast versions - are typically marked down considerably at this time of year.  What type of irons are you looking for?  Blades?  Game improvement?  Hybrid irons?

I'm not sure what you mean by traditional or skinny putter, but check out your golf shop.  They'll have a ton of putters in all shapes and sizes, and a variety of weights.

Check the Callaway Pre-owned website.  As long as you're not set on getting a brand new putter, they offer very good pricing: http://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/putters-white-ice-2-ball-center-shaft/putters-white-ice-2-ball-center-shaft,default,pd.html

I've  purchased drivers, wedges, and putters from them, all in fantastic shape.

Go to:

http://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/x-18-irons/irons-bb-x18,default,pd.html

The link will get you to the site. I've marked the X18 irons because they're $250-350, and they have Odyssey putters within your price range - you can get irons and putter within your budget. They may also have a discount. Open an account. They were showing a 20% discount to me.

Try any discount sports store. They always seem to have some really heavy putters.

RedCallaway,

Right now there are several good previous year model sets out there at great prices. I purchased a set of Callaway X-20 irons 4-PW,SW for well under $300 for my son at my local GolfUSA store for this past Xmas, and I knew he would be standard length so they stated they would adjust the lie if needed for free. Alot of the big online places like TGW.com, golfgalaxy, edwinwatts and golfsmith have good discounts on those irons and other previous year model irons. If possible, you should go to a demo days and hit several different brands and then get fit for the ones that you like the most and that fall within your budget. If there isnt a demo days in your area your local dealer will typically let you demo different brands so you can get a feel for what you like. I think you should easily be able to get a set of good quality brand new irons for under $300 and a good putter for around $100 - $150. My best advice would be try before you buy, if possible.

I already have a few hybrids, but I'd really like to have 3, 4, 5 iron blades.

I couldn't think the name I was looking for at that moment, I meant a mallet putter.

Also thanks for all the recommendations for that website, I'll have a look at it asap.
