khangdan Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've been golfing for a couple of months and made the mistake of picking up the Mizuno MX-300's, as it's way too difficult for me to hit consistently, and it feels awful on mis**ts. Needless to say, I'm an extremely high handicapper (30-35) with a swing speed of around 90-95 MPH and I'm looking for a set of irons that will be both, easier for me to hit and pleasing to the eye. I'm currently taking golf lessons to improve on my mechanics, but it'd be nice to if I had a set of irons that are helping me instead of hurting me when I do go out for a round of golf. I've been taking a look at the new 2010 ONOFF Red Irons and the EPON Forged 701, and needed help deciding which one would be better (I'm also open to any other suggestions outside of these). I'm looking for something that just goes straight (not necessarily long) with good feedback, so I can feel if I'm hitting it well or not. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 a couple of months and you're at 30 with a 95mph SS? that's pretty darn good!! the MX300 is fine. i'd say continue with the lessons, keep the MX300 and also buy a pretty set like the Epon 701. those are really nice.

Randy Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I would recommend the Ping Japan (J-spec) Rapture irons. Extremely forgiving and have a pretty good feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 If you really want to go JDM, the rapture V2 J are very very good and supposedly an improvement on the original J's with an even higher launch, wider sole and more forgiveness. Jack is right though, at a 30+ handicap, its best to concentrate on improving your swing and then investing in a good set of irons like the aF-701 which can help bring your score down to 20 or less and help you enjoy the game.
