I'm an 18 handicap and only 15. I didn't play much in the latter half of last year due to a broken wrist. I've started playing again recently and my irons have hardly any forgiveness. They're a set of Spaldings I got from my dad. I'm lookin into new irons. I play a high slight fade naturally but don't have problems shaping it the other way when needs be. I'm looking at the TM Burner 2.0 irons and the Cobra S3 Max as well as the Nike Pro Cavitys and the Callaway RazR. Wind isn't much of a problem in inland Ireland so I enjoy launching the ball high. I'm wondering which of these sets or other iron sets would be best for me. My preference would be a cavity with a thinnish sole and topline. I'm 6foot and the clunky fat clubs are always hit fat with me.

They are all great clubs and all do pretty much the same thing. The burners and the S3 max might have stronger lofts, but that might be the only difference. The Nike Pro Cavity probably has the thinnest topline. I know someone who has these and he thinks they are great. They are progressive so they are a little thicker in the long irons and a little smaller in the short irons.

Thanks. I've hit all the clubs and I'm getting a solid hit from each of them every time I hit them. I was just wondering which ones would be better and some more experienced people would recommend!

I would echo bhp said.  The nike's are great clubs and the progressive system is a great way to mask forgiveness in the irons that you will need forgiveness in most.

If you are a high hitter naturally with the old spaldings definately get a shaft fitting (get one regardless) that way you will be able to get your optimum trajectory.

I can STRONGLY reccomend the new Wilson Staff Ci11's. The new line of clubs shows the company is serious about their clubs, and all of their offerings this year are top of the line clubs.

If your looking to go cheaper, you can find a set of 15's cheap, or even g10's. Very forgiving clubs. I hated the topline on my G10's, dunno what the 15's are like.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

    • First going to spain for a long weekend in March probably going to play La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Fina Cortesin, and first week in May will compete in the Crawsnest Tassie at Carnoustie golf links, that will be a full week of golf golf golf and more golf. Did play it last year for the first time and it is awesome.
    • Scrubs is coming back to ABC. February 25.
    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • 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.
