Its been a while since i last posted but i am going to be a more active poster this season. Im on the market for a new iron set i have between 400 to 600 dollars to spend. Ive been playin maltby for the past 2-3 yrs they are beat up. My swing speed is about 110 - 115 with driver about 85-90 with irons (i dunno if this helps). I was set on getting callaway razr x ( stiff shafts ) but im having a hard time finding last yrs model . The pro at dicks is trying to talk to me about taylor made burner 2.0 stiff. Im new to the new technology of golf im not sure which brand or brands are good . Any suggestions on current selection or other selection of golf irons . Thanks for the help

Irons generally last longer than 2-3 years.  So I am not certain why your maltby clubs are beat up.  That being said.  With the budget you have, I suggest looking at Ping's last years model (G20) most decent golf shops will give you a free fitting and the Pings will be fitted to you.  In addition Ping tends to have a better resale value.

Generally speaking every manufacturer makes a quality set of clubs that will last year a good long time.  If you are set on having an off the rack set and want to get last years model, consider online at places like TGW, rock bottom golf, and ebay.  All are generally easy places to find a solid deal for what you are looking for.

Best of luck in your search

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Pings are damn near friggin indestructable on top of the previously mentioned reasons with the exception of maybe the Ansers. They are awesome at customer service as well.

I have a set of G2 irons that I bought brand new when they were released (2004 I believe?). I play about 50 rounds a year, and they still look like new.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
