My son just got himself a new set of Calaway irons, I'll see what he is doing with the old ones. They were a pay it forward from someone on here and if he is willing to part with them, I'll let you know. They are TaylorMade RBladez, 85g steel shafts in R flex.
For used clubs check out www.golfroots.com. I've bought several from them and always had good luck. You can find a set of irons for less than $200.
Mean Dean I appreciate you looking into it
had a $1000 car repair a couple weeks ago so that put a damper on getting clubs, probably this month I’ll pull the trigger. Still have some time, most courses are open for walking, if open at all. I don’t mind walking but I usually go with my wife and now 2yo daughter so a cart is easier. My guess is in two weeks we will be out golfing

Shame you didn't post this 6 months ago as I tossed a set of Ping irons in with metal scrap because I didn't get an offer on FBMP. Admittedly they were old clubs (Ping Eye 2, Blue) but in very nice shape. Irons were 1- SW, steel, stiff shafts. Also Taylor Made metal driver & 3 wood. As I'm 6'4" shafts probably would not been a good fit for you but could have been re-shafted to be more suitable. As I got zero for them they would have been within you budget. Seems in my area no one wants clubs more than 2 - 3 years old, even beginners, and want them dirt cheap.
All that said, my advice would be to consult a pro and get fitted as to which shaft best suits your level of play, and length & lie. You will then know what to look for because wasting money on clubs that do not fit you won't help you, or make you happy. I went through 4 sets of clubs before I consulted a club pro and got fitted for the Ping irons which was the last set I ever purchased. Should have done that a lot sooner and saved considerable money.
Good luck in your search.
Have a set of Tayler made burner 2’s game improvement in garage with fairly new grips I’d give you if you pay shipping.
5-aw as the 4 iron I still use. Send me a message if you want them.
Kind of.... I too took a 15 year hiatus and came back and was BLOWN away at the new technology and what it does for you. I played my irons from 15 years ago last year, but have upgraded into the jpx 923 tours and of course all new clubs. Have been to the range last 2 months after a highly successful waterfowl season and my swing is back and feeling really good. I plan to play next monday. They started aerifying all the greens around here.... so not sure I want to play just yet but im ready to go test the skills. No way I could make it back to high 70's scores without some of the new technology offered though.Originally Posted by Rebel1
New technology is great for the game. At age 63 I upgraded from clubs I bought 15 years ago. Added 20 yards on the driver and hit it with a baby draw (from a fade), irons added 10 yards and fly higher and straight. Dropped for low 80’s to mid-70’s consistently based on new clubs and playing more. Now if I’d ever practice my short game…..
I get used stuff from Golf Avenue and facebook marketplace.
All used

Only new clubs I own is a 58 degree and an Odessey 2 ball.
I have been playing for about 9 months; I take lessons people are blown away with how quick it takes learning curves out.
