    I'm at L47 right now and i absolutely need new irons. Please give me advice on these 3 iron sets. If you've played with at least two of them can you compare them and tell what you like about them and what you consider the best. I have the slower meter speed Rapture driver right now, but am not opposed to a faster swing speed as I will get a high level driver down the road. 

    thanks in advance for your opinions.

    As much as you might not want to hear this Buckeye, wait until level 59 and get the G10s. There's one very big difference and that would be the loft. All three of those sets have Med/High trajectory but the G10s have High. This makes a huge difference on a lot of holes where elevation comes into play. Those irons will take you all the way to Legend.

    I'm still going to get a new set then the g10's as well. Anymore thoughts on these 3 sets of irons?

    Before the tiers came I made Master playing the TMs. It was an earlier set but the Master version at the time. I loved them because I liked to play , what I called, a run and gun game. They flew low so tended to bore through the wind and be less affected by it and the spin controlled the landing. This was with the Tour-SD ball before Callaways came out. The key was they forgave nice. It cost a little on the precision but it was worth it because mishits didn't kill you. In fact, I used to aim a lot by missing with them, much like players do with putting.

    A caution. Learning any of those 3 sets will get in your way when you do get the G10s. The learning curve is affected because you get so familiar with using spin that you miss the impact of a higher lofted club.  Higher trajectory clubs don't need spin as much to stop where you hit them. GL with your new toys. That's always a blast.  :-)
