  1. Your post caught my eye as I was at the same point a few months ago. I had just retired at 58 and had not played golf seriously for 25 years. I was still using some older Wilson Staff Dyna Power blades that were given to me in high school. I still hit them well but have lost distance. So my plan was to buy a new set after spending a lot of time and research and a club fitting. But after significant thought, I decided I did not want to make the move to new and a fitting until my game stabilized. I needed to shake off 25 years of rust in my game. I was concerned any choice I made for new irons would possibly be wasted as my game changed and improved. So I researched enough to decide a general club type and looked for used sets. You can find much out there at places like rock bottom golf, 2nd swing, among others. I came across a good deal and bought a set of Titleist 718 AP2 irons in very good condition for just over $500. I plan to use them to get my game closer to where it needs to be and then look at a fitting and new clubs. I have found that I gained about 15 yards on a 7 iron by doing this with some degree of more forgiveness. I suggest you consider the used route for a while so you can make a better decision before spending over $1300 on new ones.
  2. I have sat behind the scenes and read all these comments and listened to what Rick Shiels said about the comment. It is clear to me that someone from MGS got their panties in a wad over a comment indicating Rick disagreed with the the opinions of at least someone at MGS and basically replied without thinking. It looks like their feeling was along the line of who is this guy that knows nothing and is disagreeing with our obviously superior knowledge. It was a cheap shot and was unprofessional. I found Ricks response to be professional and wise. My opinion of MGS went down some due to this and mine on Rick was solidified some. MGS should reach out to Rick, behind the scenes, and say that that comment did not represent the entire staff at MGS, assuming it does not, and let it go. Hopefully that has or will happen
