Mizuno JPX800.  Believe me, you will not regret this purchase.  You can get the HD version a with hybrid 3-4 iron, or the older edition that i have.  These irons are unbelievable.

I don't know where you live but it is rummage sale season. Clubs are everywhere here in Milwaukee. Arm your self with $75 bucks and you can come back with a killer deal. Look on Craigslist for rummage sales that list clubs near you. You can even email them and ask for more details before the sale date. lots of rummage sales have club sets. (1990ish)  I bought my fist complete set ever in my life, irons, woods, putter, balls, glove, AND CHANGE IN TH POCKET for FIVE BUCKS!  Actually $3.65 factoring in the change.  There are a lot of frustrated golfers that never want to see the clubs again.

For distance on irons shorten the shafts so that you hit the sweet spot more often and when that is done then heavier clubs are better. For example I think Pings are lighter than Callaway. Light is supposedly good for getting swing speed BUT what would you rather hit a golf ball with A flyswatter or a baseball bat?

Check out Gigagolf.com I have been using their trx irons and they have served me well on my progression from 90's to 70's, I got a full, fitted set for under 400. My driver is the cobra s3, I'm 17 too and short on money so if you can afford more expensive stuff go for it, otherwise Giga makes some great value clubs.

I'm also 17 (I'm a total hacker, though), and I recently bought the Z4 irons.  Sure I'd rather have Mizunos or something, but Giga is unbeatable for the price.  The clubs are nice and great quality.  They're kind of SGI shovel-y (part of that is the Z4s in particular), but they have more than enough performance for anything you'd want to do.

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      I would agree with your assessment here. How are you at picking targets? Are you still aiming for the biggest part of the green or do you start flag hunting with a wedge in your hands? I don't really use this one. I would think that's a pretty good assumption, unless you have some weird combination of terrible from inside of 25 yards from the fairway and excellent from outside of 25 yards to offset that somehow, that it's primarily your short game from the rough that needs improvement. You can also go to the proximity by lie/distance breakdown in the overview tab to see more. For example, my SG stats look like this for the short game: But if you go to the proximity page, it paints a clearer picture. Don't forget you can hover over the bars on the graph to see how many you have taken from that lie. My short game inside of 25 yards isn't actually as bad as the SG stat would indicate, but it's completely skewed by my ineptitude out of greenside bunkers. Out of 101 shots overall inside of 25 yards, 22 of them were from the bunker. Many of them from the same bunker. Repeatedly. If you look at a glance at my 25-50 yard proximity stats, you might think it's the same issue, but it's not. Out of 41 shots overall, only 4 were from bunkers there, so that's not affecting the overall numbers too much. Same with the fairway stats, it looks like I do pretty well from the fairway from 25-50 yards out, but n=3. Not statistically significant.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.

      I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’ He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.
