I was about a 30-35 handicap a year ago, (broke 100 for the first time 15 months ago, but would average around 110 on not very hard courses). I played maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Since then, I have worked hard at my game, playing probably 40 rounds, and did a package of 10 half hour lessons. I am now at an 11 handicap and expect to get to single digits by year end, but we will see...

Thanks, Topper! I appreciate the feedback. I anticipate using these clubs for 4 or 5 years, so I don't really care how much resale I get out of them. I'll probably just end up giving them away.

Thanks for the help, anyone else?

HI All: I'm new here but have been reading for a while. I appreciate everyone's comments on here and they've been very helpful at narrowing down my choices. I've played a decent amount of golf and I usually shoot between 100 and 110. I'm very eager to learn and am looking to buy my first set of new clubs. So I think I'm down to choosing between 3 different sets: 1. Nike Machspeed X for $249 http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/nike-golf-2012-machspeed-x-irons.html 2. Hireko Custom - I can build a set of the XK Irons 4 through AW with upgraded shafts (Appollo acculite 85) and golf pride grips for around $250. 3. Gigagolf Custom - I can build a set of their PowerMax GX922 irons 4 through AW with the standard True Temper shafts and upgraded golf pride grips for around $190. Any thoughts on which one I should go for? Thanks!
