Hey folks, So I'm pretty new to golf, well at least in regards to taking it seriously. After getting a new set of irons my dad gave me his old set and I'm trying to figure out if they're any good. I took them out to the driving range once and they seem to work fine but i'd like to know more about them. On the heads they say "scorcher MDD" tungsten weighted. The shafts are graphite and say "gallery". He bought them new at a golf store and they're still in great shape. I know these most likely aren't top of the line clubs by any means but just wondering if anyone can shed any light on these clubs for me as far as club and brand quality. I've done a web search but have found little to no info, even on the brand name in general. Any info would be well appreciated. Thanks!

Looks to be your run of the mill cloned and/or component club.  Most are perfectly fine and you can play quality golf shots with them

Slazenger had clubs named "Scorcher", could be clones of them.  The site clubnuts.com was registered in Europe, so it's likely a clone company from there that tried to rip off the Slazenger design.

Ok, thanks for the input folks! I assume they're good enough clubs for a guy at my experience level. I'm just glad to have a complete set of irons now, gives me more confidence than playing with a hodgepodge of irons composed of a few different brand names.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
