Have you thought about just restoring your old irons? Maybe getting them bent, adjusted?

Unless they can adjust them with some forgivness, I don't see the point.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

If you are looking for different irons I would pony up for the new ones. Remember this little riddle before buying clubs "Try

If you pony up for NEW ones you'd better get a professional fitting!!! And I'm not talking about Golfgalaxy or Dicks like I'd guess the ramler did! I'm talking about going to a Certified Club fitter. PCS. You go pay retail for clubs off the shelf like the rambler did and in a few months I'll be buying his at half the price!!!

I say go with what you like. If you like the feel of the Titliest's go with 'em.

As far as fitting goes, I agree 1000%. I would argue an off the rack $300 set + a visit to a clubmaker is worth more then a $900 otr set with no fitting or a static fitting based on measurements. Getting clubs fit to you is the best way to go.

You might even look into getting a full set of Irons built by a fitter. The option to insert ANY shaft and ANY head combo is really nice and the prices should be comperable to buying an OTR set of nice irons.

Most pro fitters will meet you at the range, provide several demo clubs, watch your swing and stance, distance etc. and then tell you why they reccomend a certain fit.

Given that you seem in the market for mid/high end sticks, why not get fitted out? At the very least, you can tell him you want a certain set and then he can tell you what sort of shafting options are available etc. etc.

Off the rack is by no means bad, but if you're going to invest several hundred dollars, why not spend 20% more and get clubs that fit like a glove? Just my opinion anyway.

PS, if you're looking for game improvements, for some reason I favor Cleveland. Just personal preference though, no actual scientific reason to supprt it.

As far as online (ebay) the place is good. 3balls golf is reputable, as is rock bottom golf (and their online site, rockbottomgolf.com). Stick to guys with real feedback, several years of selling on ebay and no less then 98% feedback and you should have no worries. Also try Callaway's pre-owned. They also sell on Ebay and provide their moneyback guarantee for online and Ebay purchases.

Good Luck!

    • Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad. 
    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.
    • Gooch ended up getting the invite...
    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
