18-hdcp player in search of new combination iron/hybrid set.  I've been an on-again, off-again TaylorMade player.  Keep coming back to TM because I like their equipment.  Current set is Adams Tech V3 hybrids and irons.  What I don't like about the irons (8-SW) is the thinner sole. I also don't like the black powder-coated paint job that has worn significantly in 2 seasons.  They do see a LOT of play Mar - end of October.

I don't know if I should be looking for SGI or GI irons at this point.Definitely want a hybrid/iron combination set which right now eliminates the Rbladez Max set.  Not being offered with hybrids.  6-iron - AW in the Max version is available but I'd still need to purchase #4 and 5 hybrids.  Probably more than I can swing financially right now.

If anyone has experience with the two iron sets, let me know if a hack like me (18 hdcp) should more likely consider the SGI Max model than the GI Rocketbladez iron/hybrid set.

Thought and ideas welcome.  Thank you.

I'm not sure the Max are worth the $1,300 price tag. But if you have the money to burn and actually like the beefy soles?

Never mind.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

Price.  Exactly.  Not sure I can swing the full set, that's for sure.  If I only go with the 6i - AW, that will cut down on the initial (shock) cash outlay.  I have wedges I'll keep.  Maybe I can keep the Adams hybrids as well.
