I am ready to pull the plug and get a new set of irons. I have been checking at either Callaway's RAZR X irons or Cobra's S3 irons. I have hit both of them and they appear both very nice irons. My handicap is 18, but my game has been improving over the past year.

If anyone has played either of the irons or both of them, would appreciate your comments and/or recommendations before buying a set.

If you have hit them, our opinions shouldn't matter in your decision. Both are fine sets. Pick the one that you hit the best. If you hit them both the same, pick the less expensive option.

I have hit the S3 Max and I own a set of Razr X, what i've noticed with my razr x's is that even the miss hits get good distance! I feel much more confident with these clubs in my hands, either way though you are getting a great set of clubs!

Both brands are quite good. My advice would be buy the one which has a better deal/price. You will not regret with either one.

Also, after golfing for 50 years, I have learned direction is more important than distance, for scoring with irons.. If you can hit both sets on a driving range, checkout which gives you better control on direction.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
