I like the looks of the new style Big Bertha irons....the model with the longer irons taking on a hybrid look. I really think that Callaway reinvented the "game improvement" irons back in 1995. They are still meeting the needs of golfers of all levels.

I'm a Callaway addict when it comes to irons. I know they don't appeal to the purist...but they surely have helped me enjoy the game loads more than I would have otherwise.

Callaway Gardening tools I mean irons are good for the beginer but once you have half a clue get rid of them.

my wife just brought me a set of mx-25 last week.. really like the feeling.. it was so much better compare to the other set i have=> Prima III.

i don't think i'll change any more for the next 5 yr unless i get single handicap. hahaha.

How 'bout these:under $300

Or..Go to your local pro shop and try a bunch of clubs.So,you can actually feel how it hits..Thats what I did,I tried the more expensive TM CGB,Burners and R7..I couldnt hit hit..I spent over 2hrs trying those clubs and ended up purchasing the older TM rac OS2's..

Driver- HiBore XL 9.5°
Hybrids- #3,#4 and #5
Irons- RAC CB/MB combo
Wedge- Vokey 52° Oil Can

Sounds like you purchased the MX-25 but from your poll - I would recommend G10 or R7 - try before you buy. Callaway x18 or X-20 might work for you as another option to consider. Ignore the marketing and purchase what feels good and provides confidence. Spend as little as your ego can afford until you are a mid-handicapper is another option. Good luck with the best game in the world!

In my Sun Mountain 3.5 light stand bag:

Hybrids: 3DX DC (17 degree)
Irons: Taylormade R7 (4-AW)SW: Vokey Spin Milled (56 degree)Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 (coming soon)Balls: Pro V1 and NXT Tour


I would recommend the Cobra FP Irons which I personally use and love them. Another great set would be the Adam Idea a3 os hybrid iron set, which is also great for beginners.
In my bag:
Driver: Tour Burner 10.5 re*ax
3 Wood:R5 XL

Hybrids:Baffler DWS 3,4 Wedges:588 RTG DSG 56º, 60ºPutter:White Hot XG #9 34"Grips: Lamkin Crossline CordsBall: Pro V1x

MPO, the MX-900s are great for beginners, they're similar to the MX-25s but they are cheaper now because the model is being closed out (replaced by the MX-950s). Great forged clubs, you'll get great feedbacl on good and bad hits. It's a keeper!

Excellent irons but for a beginner Ping G10 might be more forgiving (except for MX950). It's all personal - demo with a fitter and decide what works for you - feel & look are very important as well. If you are confident with the equipment - this will help as well as practice on the green (and driving range when it's raining etc). All the best.

I love my G10s. When I was being fit for them, I also hit G5s from the fitting cart, and they are similar- so if you don't want to spend so much money, you might look for a second hand set of those. I plan on keeping my G10s until they fall apart.

    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though. 
    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
