First Upgrade for Irons

  I was looking to upgrade from the starter irons.  I am currently Level 29 and was planning on getting the L32 R11 Irons for the extra spin and distance.  I thought these will last until I can unlock the High trajectory irons later.  Does this sound like a good plan?  What other option would be better and why?  I want this set to last awhile and perform well.

  I have already upgraded the following:

  Driver:  L24 Rapture V2, 3W: L24 Rapture V2, L14 54 Z-Satin, L14 60 Z-Satin, Putter: L19 Spider

  Plan was to also get a 64 Z-Satin or a R11 3Hybrid to complete my set.

  Sounds good if you want to keep upgrading and paying for them.

  It sounds good to me. Most of the better players dump the hybrid and use 3 wedges, some even dump the 3 wood and use 4 wedges. Good luck.

  I'm one of those 4 wedgers and I can't  tell you how right Piz is. Don't even consider the HB-get that 64w instead. THAT'S one club that you will have a very long time and will serve you extremely well.Try punching your 3w out of rough if you're worried about not having a HB.

  Also, that Spyder putter has to go. :-)

  Another option to seriously consider is the G10s (L35?). they're half the cost of the R11s; I and many others made master (and beyond) with them.
