Going to start a new thread (as soon as I can...), but I'm thinking long and hard about the Tour Edge Geomax irons.

I currently hit Adams GT3's (super super cheap, great to make sure I was serious about this game though)

After being in the golf business for a few years -- I would strongly recommend everyone go to a qualified fitter and do more than hit clubs until you find some that you like.

With some of the investments we are making into equipment, and never ending new technology, if you get irons that fit you new shafts may be all that you need in the future. I looked at the TaylorMade R7 cgb max irons a while back, and while they are great irons the truth be said the lofts have been made markedly stronger. I felt as if I had gained distance (the scourge of the golf game), when in actuality all they have done is change the numbers to the loft.

I then went to a well known fitter with all the proper equipment, and through shaft technology retrieved my swing speed to an acceptable level. I was just about to fall for it and buy a set of clubs that I gave up everything else for, except distance!

MacGregor M565 - Rifle 5.5 and YS Technology stiff

I have played many irons and believe there are none better than these. Don't take my word for it. Check out the reviews on golfreview.com - 4.98 out of 5.

These are cavity back forged irons and simply hit long and straight. They have less offset. The fact is there are a lot of good irons out there. However, this iron performs or outperforms every other club out there, and does so at a very reasonable price.

Currently I'm still using my old Silver Scot 845s (Tommy Armour).


But now they're getting too old and I want to replace them. I'm doubting between the Titleist AP2 irons and the Mizuno MP-57. I tend to go for the Mizuno because I seem to have more control with them. For me as well as their direction as there distance is more constant then the AP2.

I had some R7-XD's and I traded them in for a set of Mizuno MP-30's, which I love! I have to adjust to not such a strong loft, but I like the feel better...way better!

I am using a mixed ping set G5 for the longer irons. and I5 for the shorter irons, orange dot and rifle 6 shafts, they have the feel of blades, but they are cavities, and nice to look at, IMHO that is, I like them. Plus the brushed look, as opposed to the chrome look, can't even tell the use I put into them

i thought the comment was fertilizing to my freudian theorizing of golf clubs as penis extensions

    • 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 
    • 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...
