i would look at buying your brother super-game improvement irons that have a wide sole and graphite shafts.

Honestly if he's a 30 handicap, why are you look for brand quality, just get some for around 2-300 bucks that he can use till he improves and can decide what he really wants.

Target sells a Cougar X-something set for a 100 bucks, less if you catch them on sale.

They are "modeled after" the Callaway x18 as far as I can tell, and a kid I mentor has a set. I hit his and they felt pretty decent. I recommend them.

Let him try out the callaway big berthas. You can get the 2004 model for around $300-500. I got my set, 4-pw graphite shaft for $330 on ebay. They are extremely forgiving.

You can pick up Cleveland Launchers pretty cheap now. Great set of irons.

I agree on the Launcher recommendation, I use them (The LP version) and my father in law just got the Launchers with graphite shafts for $300 (rockbottomgolf.com) and he loves them, he has never hit his irons better...

I will probably be looking to upgrade in another year or two, but you never know... and these have really helped my game this year...

I have got Cobra's (check my signature) and when I first got them I was a 30 handicap, in half a year I've gone down 5 shots and I'm still improving, the irons have been a main part of my game so maybe you can consider them?
Some of the Adams irons are definately a great thing for game improvement too.

Name brand... why? There are plenty of non-name brands out there, and as long as you get him properly fit for 'em, he'll be fine. Get "super game improvement" - large cavity backs. These things are amazingly forgiving. I occasionally worry that they're hurt my swing when I move to less forgiving ("game improvement" - cavity backs but not so extreme). Then spend the difference on lessons for him.

Cobra FP good price and easy to hit
has helped my game alot

what about cleveland cg4s? Great reviews on these....just curious to know which ones would be better suited for someone with that high handicap (like myself).

I was thinking, do you still have your irons from when you were around that handicap? Because if they helped you get down to 11, maybe you could give them to him and then the money could be spent on lessons? If not large cavity backed are the best option.
