looking for suggestions for a new set of irons, 6 handicapper currently using callway x12 irons,

[jon viper]

Hi there, i am considering upgrading my irons as the set i have are fairly old these days x12's) and since i broke a 5 iron recently rather than replace it i thought i would just get another set. i have got down from 10 to 6 this year and am looking fo a set that will hopefully allow me to still get down a shot or two next year. i have considered sticking with callaway and maybe trying the x18 or the x20 but not sure if there is any others that i should consider. im not bothered about buying a new set either a second hand set will do as i dont have too much money available (prob looking to sepond between £100 and £200 at a push. if anyone cn recommend any clubs they think wopuld be good to move on from the x12 or any feedback ou have to help make me the tight purchase is greatly appreciated. the equpitment siude of things has never been my strong point so any help appreciated. thanks

Check out Callaway Preowned. If you don't care about them being in Like New condition, you can get clubs in various states of use (always still very good) for cheap. You can get last model year (X2 Hot) in average condition for $250 American (like 170 GBP). You're a fairly low handicap, so you might consider the Tour or Pro versions of any iron set. The X2 Hot Pro will run you like $350 through there. I'm sure you can find other deals. But if you're looking to stay in the Callaway family, the X2 Hot and XR ranges are the way to go. Going back farther than a year or two, you run into diminishing returns on how much you save by getting older irons. Going a year or two back seems like a sweet spot performance / money - wise.

I would consider the original X Hot and X Hot Pro irons. I have hit irons from both the X.Hot and X2.Hot families, and the originals flew better overall and had better feel than version 2 (X2.Hots).
