I've been through the same selection process recently and selected the Titleist AP1 - liked the look and feel. I also tried: 2) Callaway X20 4) TaylorMade R7 All excellent and once again very personal. Cheers H

personally - 2H works for me!

Hi Having gone through the same process recently, I would recommend the following to demo: Titleist AP1 (which I purchased) TM R7 Callaway X-20 Mixuno MX-950 Once again - it's all personal.

Once again - demo at a reputable golf shop and decide on which feels best and you like the look. Confidence is very important. I would tend to agree mint or excellent second hand is a economical way to go. Also a number of US sites are promoting last years irons ate great prices (e.g. $349USD for TM R7 steel). As you improve over time - you can then upgrade but most game improvement irons work until you reach a low - mid handicap! Good luck and enjoy one of the greatest games!

As always demo and get fitted before you buy. I'm a fan of the TM Burner 3 Wood/19 3H combination. Others I've tried are the Nickent 3DX/DX and the PING G10 series. I just replaced my Driver with a TM Burner - probably will end up with TM Wood and Hybrid as the price is right now! $130 each new

Living in the north island of New Zealand - Auckland and the Bay of Islands - we can golf all year round. Winter is short (June-Aug) but we can still play as long it's not raining!

Thank you both. I agree -I liked both of them but only tried them for 10 minutes. I am going to spend an hour or two using both next weekend. I may end with two putters! Birthday and gift for myself...if only...

Advice please - I am comparing the SCotty Cameron Studio Select 2008 Newport 1.5, 2 and Circa 62 No2. They all feel nice and I putt well with them. Any feedback or comments. Thanks

Hi there, I thought that my final choice was near until a demo between MX-25, G10 and AP1. I narrowed my choice to G10 and AP1. I would welcome feedback from members who have played with both. I am still looking for a game improvement iron but not playing enough to jump to MP-57 or AP2 at this stage. Still need the feedback and forgiveness. I thought my search would be easy but I am getting close...

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.

Try the MP-57 as well. Cheers

As you say courses are getting longer but from my perspective I hit my hybrids (17 and 22) better than my 2 or 3 iron. Demo a few and see what works for you. Use a simulator to understand your distance changes if any.

Thank you all for the feedback. Very helpful

Just curious - why is the MP line better. I am considering the MX-25 VS MP-57. Thanks

I would go with the one that felt the best and recommendation from the fitter. AP2 would seem like a good choice as you are playing weekly (and getting better). If you feel that your handicap is decreasing. All very personal. As mentioned - AP1 is fine for your skill level (mid) and AP2 is for the
