Golf Iron Buying

Wanting some new (used) golf irons and need help?

I have about $300 to spend on some new irons. I am planning on buying used either on ebay or craigslist. I am a 16 handicap, but am moving and learning very quickly with the help of my local pro. Any recommendations on a brand or model would be great. Also can you tell me what the difference is in using graphite and steel (i figure you lose distance with graphite but gain height?). Thanks.

Your first step needs to be to go to a golf galaxy or similar place to get fitted for what you need. There is more that needs to be measured besides graphite vs. steel. You need to know your swing speed, grip size, plane angle, wrist to floor measurement (not height) in order to get the proper length, loft, lie, grip size, and shaft material.

The typical answer for graphite vs. steel is the faster your swing, the stiffer shaft you need. Steel is typically stiffer than graphite and is much more stable. If you are in between, thats where getting fitted helps you the most.

The AR-1 irons are designed to offer maximum playability and forgiveness in a cavity back with the looks of a traditional muscle back blade at address. The center of gravity is in the center of the face and further back towards the trailing edge. The cavity design is progressive and has a lower COG in the long irons to help get the ball in the air. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch AR-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today. The raw heads are then ground and finished completely by hand. The end result is the finest hand made forged traditional cavity back irons in golf, customized for your game. The headshape of the AR-1 irons was inspired by Scratch's work with Tour Pros from around the globe. Specific attention was paid to the transition from the middle irons to the short irons to assure perfect flow throughout the set from the 3 iron down to the PW. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Grooves The AR-1 irons feature our new 2010 "Condition of Competition" legal V grooves. These grooves are legal for play in any tournament in the world so you never have to worry about taking your favorite set of Scratch irons out of the bag because the groove rule has changed.
