What type of golf iron set should I buy?

Question

Looking to spend about $400. I play knock offs right now. Been looking at Taylor Made R7 Irons since I tend to push my shots right when I hit 3-4 iron. They are on sale for 399 at local shop

Answer 1

I can't recommend anything without knowing what level of player you are.  High handicapper should go with the TaylorMade r7 draw.  Mid handicapper should go with the Cleveland cg Gold.  They're a new set, but you may find a demo set some where.

Answer 2

Hey, the best advice I can give is:  If you are an above 10 handicapper, I would recommend the Callaway Fusion Irons, standard steel shaft, you can find em on Ebay fairly cheap.  If you are a sub 10 handicapper, pony up and pay for a nice set of forged style irons, such as the Nike Forged, Callaway X-Forged, or a blade style Titleist Iron.  I agree with Golf Blogger, get rid of the 3 and 4 iron.  I switched last year to the Callaway X-Hybrid 14* and 24*, easy to hit, hard to shape, but they get the job done nicely.  Not a big Taylor Made fan, I would recommend Callaway for the best overall performance from an iron, and you can find them cheap enough on Ebay.

Answer 3

it doesn't matter what brand.  figure out which one u hit best.  i would try a set of cavity back irons cuz u get more  control and they are easy to hit.

Answer 4

well it really depends on how good of a player you are. i suggest going to the local golf pro and asking for there help.

Answer 5

Ultimately, the best thing to do is to get fitted.

As for the 3 and 4 irons, you might try replacing those clubs with hybrids.

Answer 6

Buy the ones that look and feel good to you.  They are all good, but the best ones for you are the ones that you like the most.
