Thanks Buddy! I guess I got more than new Irons... the 4 Hybrid, Irons, SW and Putter are all new... the Driver has over a year on it and the 3 wood and 3 hybrid have some years as well... but yeah, i'm excited to get out and get frustrated by this game that I am beginning to get obsessed with! Plus, I'm big into cigar and the only thing that goes better with Cigars than golf is some nice Ron Zacapa or Flor de Cana rum!

UPDATE: Went down to my local shop and tried out a few different sets of irons and have my swing "dissected". when the dust settled, I decided to got with the Cobra AMP irons. For some reason they just felt more comfortable than the other clubs. The price was reasonable, so I went with the 4-GW. Thanks for all the feedback guys! So my updated bag contents is: Driver - Taylormade Burner Supersfast 2.0 10.5 3-Wood - Taylormade Burner Superfast 15 3 Hybrid - Taylormade Burner Rescue 19 4 Hybrid - Taylormade Burner Ruperfast 2.0 21 5-GW - Cobra AMP Irons SW - Adams Golf Tom Watson Grind Wedge - 56 Bounce 8 P - Odyssey White Ice Mini T Putter

EDIT: I just came across a used set of Pin G15 Irons for a great price from a reputable seller... more fuel to the fire

Thanks Hammer! Yeah, there are a ton on Ebay... I may go that route... don't know much about the R7 Irons, I'll give them a onceover

Thanks Ben... used is an idea... there is a shop near me that has used/demo clubs, but they haven't had anything that I ma interested in recently... It sounds like we have/had similar situations, so thanks for taking the time to reply... I am leaning toward the Calloway set for no real reason... which is unfortunate because they are more expensive

Hey Fellas! Welcome to my second post! So, this is the same old story that I am sure many of you have seen over and over again. I'm in my mid 30's and have taken a renewed interest in golf over the last year. With that being said, I am also a total newbie. There is a ton of terminology that I need to learn, so there are probably some specific questions that I cannot answer. Here is the crux of my situation. I have been using my uncle's old Golfsmiths for the past year. These things are probably old enough to be tried as an adult. I have updated my woods over the last year or so. I'm hitting a Taylormade Burner Superfast 2.0 10.5 driver, Burner Superfast 3 Wood (LOVE this club) and a Burner rescue 3 Hybrid. I recently picked up a Burner 4 hybrid and Odyssey White Ice Mini T Putter. So, I am in need of some Irons. I won my fantasy football league this year and am using my winnings for Irons, so I have a around $400 budget. I see these as my gateway irons. By that I mean that no matter what I get, they will be far superior to what I am currently using and I will either become obsessed with golf or I'll realize that I enjoy it but I will never take it too seriously. I'm not sure if that makes any sense. So my goal is to get the best irons I can, have them last me a few years and stay near my budget. Here are the Irons I am considering: Taylormade Burner Plus 4-AW Taylormade Burner 2.0 4-AW Calloway RAZR X HL 4-AW I have the burner 4 hybrid so I don't need the 4 iron and I have a Tom Watson Performance Grind Wedge SW, so I am good there. I know there are a lot of ways to make this call and a lot of factors that go into it. I don't know much about my swing speed, but here are a few things I can tell you about my game: 1. I tend to be pretty accurate 2. I hit my woods for distance, but my irons have always been lacking in that area 3. When I miss-hit, I slice it... Ok, I know that was wordy and I appreciate you sticking it out... I look forward to some expert feedback! Thanks! Rob

Hey Fellas - I'm new, in fact this is my first post... I'm a Graphic Designer by trade, but I also work for the SF Giants and am involved in the Cigar business. I've "golfed" all my life, but I'm taking it more seriously this year and am here to soak up as much advice and info that I can...
