Re: New irons

Thanks guys. I currently have a 4 wedge set (48* 52* 56* 61*) but Mr. Pelz advocates a 48, 56, 60, 64 wedge set. Granted, for my distances, I think the old 52-56-60 would work just fine.

Any opinions on TaylorMade RAC Blacks?

I'd love to build my own clubs, yet I find myself without enough knowledge. My fundamental knowledge is good, and there's a ton of advice out there for building clubs.

My problem is that I'm sorta budget minded right now (I know, I'm looking at $700 slingshots, and I say I'm budget minded). I'd love to take the time to buy some components (Can you say SMT Spectrum and an Assassin v2?), but I don't want to spend much cash putting together a ton of clubs because I've screwed up. I realize that the best way to learn is to do, but the funds aren't available for too much learning this year - unless someone shows me that I could build 3 sets of clubs for the price of 1!

I guess my next step is to buy this months' Golf Digest and read up!

I'm more than happy to consider any and all recommendations - especially those for, say, a combo set! (Sorry, I'm in love with the idea of having forgiving long irons - and I'm not afraid of utility clubs - and some workable short irons and wedges. My short game is my best aspect).
