Which iron set is better?

I am looking into buying either a set of Ben Hogan Edge CFT irons or Taylor Made RAC HT irons. Which one would be better for someone who shoots in the mid-high 90's? Are there any major differences?





I can't test them out since it's an online purchase, but the price is right.|||get rac's they are very easy to hit|||Most of the posters above are right. Don't buy clubs just because of the price without testing them first. Try to find a demo club on the driving range, go to the manufacturer's web page and find out the demo day on the driving range near you. Hit as much as you can, and for many demo days before making decision.


By the way, Tiger use Mizuno iron MP 29 and MP 14 mix set since he was young until Titliest sponsored Tiger. Titleist bought the patent of MP 29 and prohibited further manufacturing of the design by Mizuno. I bought one of the last 2000 sets produced by Mizuno, USA. The whole set (from 1-sand) had a tag on the shaft say final edition. Tiger used Titleist 680T (T for Tiger) for a long while before Nike sponsor him and right Tiger and Nike worked together to produce Nike blade only for Tiger. I don't think those sets ever made for sale. The present Nike Tiger Woods uses still look a bit like MP 29.|||i would go with the taylormade because the only good ben hogan clubs are blades and their forgiving irons dont have the technology that taylormade has, btw tiger doesnt play mizunos, he and nike worked together to create the victory red line this year and has played nike irons woods wedges and balls for years, and no mizuno club has ever been played by ELDRICK TIGER WOODS!|||dont buy if you cant test them out go with the mizunos. they are for mid-high handycap players and tiger uses mizuno but send it to the nike factory and they stamp it. try to get the mx-200 or mx-100 used





P.S. mizuno spends there money on reserch not marketing so they are good clubs|||Dude, that is why you go to the pro shop and test the clubs out then buy them online. Problem is you probably can't find either set in the store since it is an older model, or can you? I've seen older models that have been traded in for newer models at pro shops. Just gotta search for them.|||The shafts will be the deciding factor. The Taylormade irons will have reg. or stiff shafts. The Hogans will be numbered. Number 3 is reg. and #4 is stiff. The stiff Hogans are very harsh on mis-hits. Other than that they are pretty much the same. Hogans sure look good though.|||i have the rac irons and they are very forgiving and i shoot in the high 70's low 80's and they have a nice set up and get good spin with the short irons|||They are both older golf clubs from the 2003. But Ben Hogan's model is more for mid handicap. I think Taylormade suits for your 20 something handicap.|||honestly...get a set of irons that are the most forgiving, no matter what the brand.|||i prefer Taylor Made RAC HT irons|||You could have a look at golfshopping18.com, I hope this may help.
