I think I've narrowed it down to the Callaway Razr X NG or the Taylormade Rocketballz. I'm going to try them out tomorrow, but right now what do you think the best Irons would be for this price?

I would test-hit the irons to make sure you like them, whatever model you pick.

I just bought a second set for a vacation home so i don't always have to travel with my clubs. I found the Nike MachSpeed clubs for $299. They are pretty decent. I would check them out if you can. I found them a little more forgiving than the TM clubs for $399.

Just the other week I got a set of pre-owned Ping G20 at Roger Dunn in Santa Ana. Perfect condition, and I'm very happy with them. At that budget point, I would seriously look at the trade-in and demo sets your golf store may have. Lots of people trade in clubs that are virtually brand new, no reason not to benefit.

After a lot of research I finally decided on the cb3s with KBS Tour 90 and boxed up my Mizuno Mp-14s. I loved the club head size and the fact they are forged. Loved these so much I just bought another set with the Matrix program 8.1 shafts. These feel exactly like the mizunos felt on a flushed shot except of more forgiveness on the miss hits. Your selling yourself short if you don't give these irons a shot!!!! Not just the best G.I. Iron under $400...... Best G.I. Iron period!!

Agreed i just purchased these same irons few months back have about 4 rounds on em so far and love the forged feel of the iron as well as the size of the clubhead everything feels so right and you can take a divot without a bulky club head reducing the force throught the ground! A+ irons glad you went with the cb3s

I have found that Global underestimates the condition of their clubs. The clubs I bought from them, they said in good cond. however the ones I got looked much better.

I personally enjoy and prefer Dallas Golf (dot com). I frequent their CRP Clubs (Certified Return Products) and that's where I found my 712 AP1s last month. Brand new, all but 2 clubs still wrapped, 4-PW+AW for $499.00. That was a deal I couldn't pass up and I had them ordered within 5 minutes of seeing them.

I've heard that too, and it's good to know that a long-time sponsor is under-promising and over-delivering.

Shame they don't operate in the UK, their stuff looks really good.

But to OP if he is still looking for clubs, try eBay and look for sets maybe 3-4 years old. Some absolute bargains to be had.

Got the clubs from Global Golf today and you guys were right. They are definately alot better than I expected. Except for a few scrtches on the bottom, they are like new. I would definately buy something from them again.

      They need to mark it or declare it as such. Even just a thing on the back of the scorecard would do.

      There are utilities buried along there. I did talk to the one of the course owners today and he said it was OB. When I mentioned "the committee" (USGA and R&A terminology) it didn't seem to register with him.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Have played 3 serts of 18 holes since Monday and last night added 6 holes but had to quit because it got dark on us.    My last time I shot a 56 on the front nine with 16 puts. I shot a 57 with 16 puts on the back 9.  I am ordering a 60* Pure Spin Wedge this Tuesday that I found on Ebay.  I am having trouble controlling my drives, but a lot of it is being nervous and still just starting to relax a little.  I am planning on playing Men's Senior this coming Tuesday.  It is definitely an adventure but so far it has been worth it.  My back pain (lower) is gone, and my leg cramps are almosrt gone.  My putting is improving.  Okay, Golfers: As of this morning, starting on January 1, 2025: Steps = 1,035,587 ; MIles = 472.14 ; Stairs = 1, 664 Not bad for a 78 year old golfer that is 5'10"and 150 pounds.  I will quit bragging for now and say a big "Thank You" for all your encouragement.  Will play a little more over the next few weeks and see if I can lower the score.  I even have a book: "Lowest Score Wins" by Erik J. Barzeski & David Wedzik; I think I have seen some strategies somewhere inside. 😄   Thanks,  Retired Old Man, Terry
