I'm looking for a new set of clubs this year and over the winter tested irons from several manufacturers, including Callaway and Titleist.

The best feeling club ended up being the Titleist AP2.

Here's my predicament - I've got enough points saved on one of my credit cards to get a full set of Razr X irons with no additional out of pocket cost to me. If I buy the AP2s from a local store, they'll cost me $800 or $900.

So what to do?  Spend hundreds on the AP2s, or go with the Razr Xs at no cost, except my credit card points.  Will I learn to love the Callaway's?

I'd appreciate any opinions from those of you who may have played both clubs.  Thanks.

Get the clubs you want otherwise you will be buying new clubs in a year. Can you convert the points to cash? Personally I much prefer the cash rewards card. In my experience you get more.

What else can you get with those points? Get that instead unless the Callaway or Titleist were a toss up, which I doubt or you wouldn't be asking.

I'm sure as you know the RAZR X irons are a game improvement club and the AP2's are a forgiving players iron.  If you really want the AP2's get the Callaway's, sell them and use that to pay for a good portion of the Titleist irons.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
