TaylorMade, probably. Wal-mart clubs are fine too since I made a hole-in-one with them last year. And I suck.
What do you think? Answer now!

I went from Cobra to Nike and I knock 5 shot off my score
your going from a very forgiving club to looking at clubs not so forgiving. I reckon that at a 23 handicap, not a great idea. But, if you feet you like them after practicing with them, then go for it. Just be aware that not one of the ones you mentioned are very forgiving and all of them have a more forgiving equivilant that you could look at (i.e., the CG7 Tour, try the CG7 gold, the AP1, try the r9, etc.)
ok so i have been playing golf for 12 years im 17 now. my swing speed with an iron is 115mph. i use mizunos and they have worked great for me. my self i strike the ball very well too, mizunos are great clubs, my favorite are the MP 52 and they are the one im using now. they have a lot of forgiveness in them, i tend to lift up on the ball and hit it thin, even then the club still manages to get the ball to go Straight. i know they are pricey but they are worth it in the long run if you are trying to lower your score. good luck
What ever you go for make sure you have them custom fitted.
It does make a difference amd gives you confidence.
It does not cost to have them fitted.
I would go for Ping, you buy individual clubs, that way you don’t pay for the 3,4, irons you never use.
You can think but you don”t have to buy the golf clubs.
Mizuno Golf MX300 Irons or TaylorMade Tour Preferred 08 Irons, they are both good, however, Titleist AP2 710 irons is better.
Ok well first of all these are all tour preferred or forged irons and for a 23 handicapper even if you are the best ball striker you need to be a single digit handicapper to play forged irons. They are not forgiving. If I had to say one I would say the Titleist or Mizuno. I hear Mizuno makes amazing irons and there’s a reason why Titleist has been one of the top names on tour for irons. Nike irons are good too but if I were you I would look into some more forgiving clubs like the Taylormade Burner 08 irons they are amazingly long. You need to make the best choice for you and demoing them is the best option but I think forged irons might be a bit to hard for you to control until you are more well rounded.
