Best 2013 Clubs for Mid Handicapper

[joshray]

I didn't play much the last two years, and I dropped from a 12 to a 20. I'm hitting a 15 year old set of Wilson's, and my wife has given me the green light to buy a new set. I like the Rocketbladez, but I'm wondering if there is a better set for someone like me who will be spending a lot of time getting back to the basics this year.

I suggest before buying anything you try the PING G25 irons. I am reviewing them now and I am really impressed.

Are g25 using the titanium insert on the face like the k15? It seems to make sense to move the weight out to the edges.

Yes there is.  I would look seriously at a set of clubs that came out in 2011 or 2012 and cost a lot less than the Rocketbladz. Being a  Callaway guy, I would consider the Razr x HLs if you want a super game improvement set with a lot of easier to hit hybrids or the Razr X Blacks that are game improvement irons. The Blacks  have a great feel and still allow for a lot of shot shaping. Either set with steel shafts has a great price tag right now. For fairway woods, the Diablo Edge Tours or Diablo Octanes  and Octane Tours are all priced really well and are good woods to revitalize your game.  You can tell by my sig that I am pretty sold on the Diablos and Razr X hybirds.. I don't own a recent set of Callaway irons because I love my golds. I may replace them with X-Hots with graphite shafts next year after the price comes down a bit.

I think that either of  those two sets of clubs will still feel comfy as your game improves.

Thanks, the pro seemed to really like the X Hots.  I haven't had a chance to hit them yet, and I'm trying to find a Callaway demo day near me so I can try some of their clubs out.  I need my clubs 1.5" taller, so it's difficult to just walk into the shop and swing any clubs I want.
