I just ordered some TM R7's from ebay yesterday for like 300 shipped. That seems like damn good value. Although if you want to budget up to 500, I think there's a lot of options, especially if you go the ebay route.

Just ordered a couple dozen HX Hot Plus from lostgolfballs for like 11 a doz, haven't hit them, but reviews seemed pretty positive for the price.

I am in the market for new irons... I was set on Mizuno's, but as everyone says, I went and hit some different ones. Unfortunately, I didn't hit them all on the launch monitor. But I did hit the Mizuno 950's, 100's and 200's.... I was originally leaning towards the 200's, even though I'm a high handicap, but I like the thought of growing into them, plus I like the smaller line at address. I hit the 3 of those, and did like the 200's originally. The 950's were to thick and bulky, not different enough from my current clubs. The 100's were a bit better, but I liked the look of the 200's. But I went to this golf shop that wasn't Golfsmith, I had a chance to hit more clubs without feeling like I was wasting time. (Aka the launch monitor.) So I also hit the R7's, Cleveland CG7 and the Callaway X-22. I actually liked the R7's and CG7's more than I was expecting. I wanted to say, hey, the mizuno's are far and away the best, but I'm not nearly good enough to probably even know the difference. In fact, I felt like I might have been fading or slicing the 200's... but it was hard to tell without the launch monitor. So I went to Golfsmith to try to get on it and get a better idea, but it was kinda busy, so I was only able to hit the 100 and 200's. I feel like I hit them both similarly, but the 200's looked better for me. But neither seemed all that straight. I found out my swing speed isn't as fast as I thought, and I've been playing stiff shafts in my first set, which seems to be wrong. I hit between 70 and 83 in iron swing speed, so I guess that means regular shafts, but if that can get me a little extra distance, that's fine. I forget what my main question was really.... The problem is that I was hitting mostly stiff shafts at the first golf shop, but I also hit a few regulars. One of which might have been the TM R7's.... But The Cleveland CG7's felt nice too. Should I get some Mizuno's on Ebay, or some R7's, since they've dropped in price, even cheaper than the Mizunos... or is it worth getting the Cleveland's because they have this new deal where you buy a set of irons now, and you can get a new updated set in 2 years for free. Thoughts?

Haven't ever owned any woods. (Though I'm still just starting out pretty much) I have a 16* and 20* hybrids.

I have been looking at irons, I've briefly tried the 100's and 200's, and liked the 200's more, but are the 950's worth looking at? Seems like quite a few people play them here. Plus they seemed to have just dropped in price.

I just got a new Callaway Diablo on Ebay for like 245. (Instead of 299) I am pretty much in the same boat as you and I think it's great so far. I went and hit a handful of different clubs and just seemed to connect the best with this one. I can get a solid hit on it consistently. Just need to fix my swing so I don't slice as much, but that's not the clubs issue at all. I'd at least try it out.

You guys need to look for the first one and watch them all, it's so good!

I'm like an infinity handicap, but played with a huge group, and The Bandlands in Vegas was my toughest one. But I haven't played a ton, but it was a bitch for someone who isn't great. It was a 6 hour round and there were definitely better players than me.

I don't have any Fairway woods either. I have 2 different Cobra Bafflers. One is the 1R Baffler Pro 16*, and the other is the 3R DWS. (20* I believe.) I am not consistent or good really, but I must say, the 3R DWS is crazy consistent compared to most of my other clubs. The 1R pro I struggle with though. Not sure if it's the loft or the fact that it's DWS vs Pro, but I like the 3 a lot. Just seems to go straight almost always... So if you liked the 2, it might not be a bad choice.

Just ordered the new Callaway Diablo on Ebay. Hit it at Golfsmith twice over the weekend. Also tried the Cobra S9-1, which is what I was leaning towards at first. The Ping G10 and the Burner. I am very inconsistent, and still suck for the most part, but for some reason, I just hit the Diablo cleaner and further.
