*HELP* Need new irons!

[TKGolfs]

So I typically shoot in the 80s and have broken 80 once before. After taking a solid break from golf after my senior year of high school, I've decided to ditch the Nike Ignites that somehow carries be through those years and pick up some new clubs. I've been doing a little research and the Mizuno JPX 825 Pros have sparked my interest and after reading golf digests equipment issue so have Taylormades rocketbladez. My price range is up to 800. Let me know what you think about the JPX and rocketbladez. Then recommend what you think will fit my game and what else out there is in My price range please! I'm really just wanting a set of irons that will last me a while so I don't feel like I have to constantly upgrade to something else. Thanks guys

Take a serious look at the Callaway XHots.

Let me summarize, all of the brands are very nice. I am not quite as good of a golfer as you are (break 90 regularly but have yet to break 85). That being said, I recently demoed lots of different clubs. The titleist ap, ping i20 / g25, Taylor made rocket bladez, etc all felt great. The only club I personally didn't like was the Wilson staff, but others on the forum do. My point is that $800 if you are only looking for irons is plenty to consider almost anything out there. I decided I liked this way the pings felt the best and had the opportunity to get a ping fitting at pings facility in Phoenix and decided on ping g25s. I was hoping to get the i20s but after 40 minutes of hitting balls, the g25 had a much tighter dispersion than the I series. I think the point is that all of the brands have great clubs, and you should get the ones that you like the best and be sure to get fit for them. If you are hoping to get a full bag or more than just irons with your budget, I would suggest looking at the ping g20s, because they are last years model they are a little cheaper, but you can still order a totally custom set from ping which is a very nice benefit. Also, I don't know about you, but buying golf clubs is fun, you get to hit balls and have sales people tell you all the time that your swing is much better than a 18 handicap (which makes me happy, but it should make me cry to realize I am just that bad of a putter)

Ahhh you got me there haha. I saw those in golf digest and didn't like the looks and have never had interest in callaway irons. I may have to test them out though

Love my G25's from the time I hit them in the Ping bay to each round I have played so far.

Great balance with the CFS shafts and they just fit my swing.

give them a try and then try them again after you are fitted with the correct shaft for your swing

how do you go about getting fitted for your irons? I live in a small town with only a couple holf shops and I'm not sure they do club fitting

I was reading about the difference between gps and rangefinders at gettingonthegreen.com site and stumbled on a site called gigagolf.com which looks promising. I guess they sell custom fitted clubs that looks like the brand names but the prices are a lot better. I was looking at the TRX V.11 irons because they look like my Taylormade Burner irons. Their set sold for $120 whereas I paid $499 for my Burners.
