Greetings from Huntsville, AL. I'm looking to buy a new set of clubs and play golf more than in the past. Currently would call myself a hacking 22 handicap that can hit 330 yard drives when it goes straight. Taking suggestions on Driver and Iron Sets that everyone likes. Need Ions with some forgiveness. Thanks!

Welcome.  If you can hit a Driver 330 yards than I don't think you need to change what you have.  My suggestion would be game improvement or super game improvement irons.  I play Callaway Diable Edge Irons, which are in the SGI category.  I would also go with some hybrid clubs for your 3,4,5.

IMO. Make sure the shaft profile of whatever driver you choose fits your swing.

With the wrong shaft too many of those 300 yard drives can end up 100 yards in the woods.

P.S. You can't go by how a shaft is labeled. Different shafts (even from the same company) labeled as "Stiff" or "Regular" won't be identical so buying off of the rack is a crap shoot, even if you have hit the same name driver with the same shaft label. A good club fitter can check the overall shaft profile to make sure it's what you need.

    • The 2026 Thread is here:
    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 topics, we're doing it again in 2026! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2026 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. This year's spreadsheet is below: 2026 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets   Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
