Well, what's your handicap. For 10+ handicap the Taylor Made RAC OS are the best iron out there, and especially for the price. They are really easy to hit and I added 10 yards of carry on each iron when I switched from the Cleveland Launcer LP's.

Taylor Made RAC OS are good irons and you cant beat the price right now. The R7 irons are good too. Callaway, Cleveland, Mizuno, Ping and many others all have great equipment. Major manufacturers all stretch their technology to the acceptable USGA limit. Most irons on the market fall into your price range, so it is a little hard to pick just one. There must be somewhere close to where you live that you can demo clubs. If you arent buying "off the rack" irons, then go to a reputable fitter. After seeing your brothers swing and ball flight he should be able to narrow down your search for you.

If you live in Walnut Creek, CA, then you have a Golfsmith right around the corner from you. I wouldnt get fit there, but you can always just go in and have your brother demo some clubs and see what he likes.

I would agree with the RAC OS as well as the Slingshot Tours. With your price range though there are a ton of options. I would say hit as many sets as you can at demo daze and shows b4 making decision.

With that price ceiling you've got a whole lot of options. I had the OS2s. Good irons, but I've since found others to be as good if not better. I agree with the fitting, but I wouldn't go to Golfsmith or any othe retail place. I'd find me a PCS certified club fitter.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
