I have a set of Callaway Big Bertha 2006's 4-gap that i am trying to sell so I can purchase a set of Callaway X-Tours, or Nike Forged, which one do you think i should go with?

do you have them listed in the market place? Share with the other kids in the clkass if you are selling.

I'm a Mizuno MP-33 guy. With the right shafts they are very playable.

I have a set of Titleist 690 cb and I love them, although I have been looking at the 755's lately and the review on this site is making me want it more. used to use Mizuno mx23 nice clubs too. There is nothing like a properly fitted set....sweet when you hit it right

Mizuno MX-25's.

With my limited golf history, these have been the best clubs for me. Very forgiving with a great feel.

The Titleist 755's are a nice set of irons. The guy i bought my 735's from (he had them for about 2months & needed to upgrade to the 755's so i got his 735's for a bargain price $500 AUD) he gave me a go with the 3 iron and the 6 iron there less forgiving than the 735's but go much better than the 735's on pure shots.

If you are not sure whether you should use blades, you probably aren't ready. Even scratch golfers benefit from the newer designs of the cavity back irons like the 695CB or Mizuno's or Callway XTour's. Unless you are just smoking every iron on the sweet spot, blades don't make much sense. Most newer cavity backs have the thinner top line look that the blades do and forged irons have a ton of feel with the forgiveness that muscle backs don't have.

I have to disagree....

Try a few blade sets out. The technology has come a long way for these also. Nevermind your handicap. It goes along with ball striking. Some 8 handicappers strike the ball great and have a bad short (scoring) game. I love the muscle back blades, and the workability is so mush easier then a cavity back. I went back and forth with the Mizuno MP60's for about a month. I hit the Nike forged blades better...(even the mis hits seem better????). All you can do is hit everything that appeals to you many times. Not trying to start a war or anything....just try them

TaylorMade Supersteel Burners. Had a used set in 04-05. I loved these irons but they were pretty nicked up so I sold them to buy a new set. Tried some off brand clones that were horrible. Played with Srixon 403Ad's for about 1.5 years. Finally sold the Srixon's and stumbled across Brand New Supersteel's on Ebay (pretty rare considering they were new in 02). I liked the Srixon's, but didn't like the graphite shaft and the Supersteel's are much longer. Easily a full 1-2 clubs longer depending on the shot. They can be had cheap on Ebay if anybody is looking for a quality set of irons in the less than $200 range.

    • 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 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
