I read the answers to your query Chris and I'm not seeing something I think you should consider. A lot of emphasis seems to be placed on the swing meter speed. I think you'll eventually find that relative to your own reactions. Unless you're stone drunk or totally devoid of eye-hand coordination you'll gravitate to an acceptable level of hitting perfect. I, for one, depend on NOT hitting perfect to compensate for wind and direction and it works quite well for me. It didn't at first though.
What I didn't see mentioned is the accuracy and spin ratings of the clubs, way more important than how fast or slow your meter goes. The Taylor irons match the satin wedges in accuracy and spin rating to the point that the 3 satin wedges I carry are actually 4 when you factor in the wedge from the main set, all with the highest accuracy rating and spin.
Your new clubs are not going to instantly make you better-you still have to learn them. What you do gain are fabulous tools to use, provided you take the time to learn them. I find the Taylor irons to be the most accurate and when you realize your approach shot is what is going to make the biggest difference in your game you might want to look at how well the club performs when hitting the green.
You'll see the importance when you make master and have to tee off 20-40 yds further back and your approach shot becomes much longer and harder to hold greens with. Look at the spin ratings-it's how you're going to be able to control the ball on the green.
I get my clocked cleaned by players with starter clubs and Pings so whatever you wind up with just know you need that Redwood putter and irons that will let you park that ball wherever you want.
A really effective way to work up to a full set is to get the driver for the distance off the tee and a couple of wedges to get up. Then, play to the spot in the fairway where the wedges are most effective and get good at sticking them on the pin. That's where the nice putter comes in because I think the Redwood is deadly accurate and the only putter to have, meter speed notwithstanding (using the higher scales slows it down anyway.)
Above all, search the forum posts for one by Nivlac on "club comparison", a truly excellent reference.
