Any good recommendations of places to get second hand irons? Birr Golf Club has a decent golf shop and are sound to deal with from previous experiences.
Deisegolf usually have a good selection.
are you a southpaw?

look at golfbidder.
I was looking at it alright. They are UK based and was wondering would there be extra charged because of Brexit?
fuck it i didn’t even think of that. Best bet would be to ask them I suppose.
Did you ever get fitted? I’d say go to a fitter and get a spec for irons. Lie, Length, Shaft, head etc and then look online to get as close to that spec as possible in second hand.

I doubt there’s any chance of being fitted these days.
I’d be looking to spend 3 to 400 on them. Don’t think I will buy online as would like the chance to hit a few balls with them first
Would many here buy brand new irons? 1000 notes or more seems a lot to be spending
You get what you pay for. I had a similar budget to you in mind when buying a set of Wilson irons but they were crap and speed slot fell out of the back of the 5 and 7 irons. I used hit a few balls with them in the driving range but still they should have held up longer than they did. Then I spent around €850 on P790 irons last summer and they are quality. Playing better with them. More accuracy and I should get a good few years out of them. You are better off investing the golf budget on irons as opposed to a new driver or putter or even wedges.
I bought mine new 3 years ago and they are absolutely perfect. You never pay the grand. I went for a fitting and ended up getting them for about 700 with haggling and trading in my own which were worth fuck all.
I’d have had no problem buying second hand before I got fitted but since getting fitted for lie and shaft length and flex, it’s made some difference to ball striking. I couldn’t just pick up a set off the shelf
How much to get fitted ?I’ve been meaning to get it done but there’s always something more pressing to spend the money on,I’ve a nice set of Mizunos I picked up second hand but I think they’re too long for me
I’ll sell you a grand set of Ping Eye 2 irons for 400 mate 
I did it with Ronan Collins up in Fota - an absolute gentleman and won’t push a brand on you like a lot of fitters. It’s 60 euro for a full bag anyway and it’s done within an hour.
You can do it outside too, which I’d absolutely recommend - the cunts in places like American Golf will tweak the trackman to try sell you a set of clubs.

Where are you based?
If you want to buy a set and hit a few when you need a good on site Golf Shop at a club or a Driving Range like the one just outside Cashel.
