New clubs choice nightmare

[Davie81]

I've currently got a set of mizuno mx17 irons which I bought used 3 years ago when I took the game up and always said I'd get a new set when I get my handicap into the teens. The clubs have served me well and I've won 3 medals and the handicap club championship last season. I'm looking at new clubs this year and I've narrowed it down to the calla way xr, Taylor made rsi or rsi 2. I'd be adding a hybrid and new wedges too but can't decide. They all feel lovely and the rsi2 is pushing my price limit a bit. My range pro says to avoid the xr and go for the rsi2 but I'm not sure. I play off 15.2 if that helps. I'd like something which will get my down further but also last me for a few years.

What was the reason the pro said to avoid the XR irons? Is he a TaylorMade staffer?

All 3 irons are good, RSI and XR are pretty similar, just comes down to what looks/feels/performs better. Try to hit them on a launch monitor to compare.

To be fair they don't have a certain brand they target as such. They're really honest and excellent service. I like the xr and rsi2 feel but don't know if I can justify the extra 100 pounds. I'd be going to the callaway centre to get fitted if I go for them and the pro said he'd book me in. Thinking if I went for them,I'd go 5 to pw and then get some mack daddy wedges, hybrid and maybe a 3 wood. At present, I've got a X2 hot driver, ping g25 5 wood, 5 to sw and a vokey 60.
