Sorry yes, shooting between 80-85 (par 71). Had a fitting around 10 years ago, swing speed was 100+ mph then. I was getting a new driver for my 18th birthday at the time, i wouldn't consider a fitting etc as I feel like they push for a sale and i simply couldn't afford any irons on the market in any of the major retailers if I being honest.
Not necessarily desperate for new, but locally I've shopped for second hand and the prices are extortionate. For example, ive seen callaway x18s, titliest ap1 712-16, ping g5-g25 plus many more @ almost £400...that's why I've thought about these 2 sets new.
Try before you buy is always best, but as I say to friends etc that suggest it there isn't much point when anything that's available to test isn't in my price range unfortunately.
