Budget maximum forgiveness irons

[Blackdog67]

I am looking to get a set of maximum forgiveness irons but I am on a very limited budget. I have seen sets of Benross (Maxspeed & Hotspeed)and John Letters (T8+) Irons on Ebay for £150 or less.

I know loads of people will tell me to avoid cheaper makes but I really can't afford any more and to be honest my game at the moment doesn't justify spending too much on equipment.

Any opinions or advice would be appreciated

Cleveland CG7
Callaway X20, Diablo Edge, maybe RAZR X..
TM Burner maybe
Pings might be a little expensive but you may find G10s in your region
Don't discount the big names, older 2nd hand sets can still be very good.

Absoutely nothing wrong with Benross. They make good quality clubs. I have their Hot Speed 2 Driver and Fairways and they are excellent clubs.

Ping G10 :thup:

Plenty sets on ebay near your budget.

Just seen a set of Callaway X Tour irons on ebay for £115 with free postage, 3 to p/w. You still need to look for higher lofted wedges though

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'll try and find some Callaway X20's or Ping G10's s/h to try before making my decision

Benross are a decent make. Plenty of older models worth looking at. If you want Callaway and can find them still (they are pretty old) the X14 was an excellent model and perhaps not as chunky as the X20 incarnation

Always go for older model quality... some of the big stores have plenty of trade in stuff you might be able to try. Then compare prices on eBay or Golfbidder...

Ping G10s as the guys have stated. You won't go wrong.
