    I'm an improving golfer who is currently using a set of Callaway Big Bertha irons.
    These are excellent irons for the high handicapper, however, they just feel dead no matter what kind of shot you hit. Basically there's no feedback from the club.
    On hols last year, I managed to rent a set of Callaway X22's. I found these much better in terms of feedback form the club.
    What would you recommend?
    Callaway X22's? Ping (G15, I15??), Cobra?

    Why do you want feed back? What is feed back ? What would you do with it if you had it ?

    Picked up an old set of Mizuno MX-23 two years ago. Very happy with them.If by feedback you mean the feel off the clubface on impact,well these clubs definitely introduced me to the whole feedback malarky.
    I'd imagine any of those clubs you mentioned above OP would do the same.

    I would say the G15's and the x22's would be pretty similar while with the i15's there would
    be a bit more feedback.
    But if it's just feedback your looking for you can always just go mad and buy yourself a set of blades. :p

    Everyone is most likely going to suggest a load of different makes etc and clubs they have or had but everyone is different.

    The only way is to go to the pro shop in your club and try out different makes or go to a driving range that sells clubs and try them out.

    I personally have Cobra S9 2008 irons and are extremely forgiving but they suit me and i hit them very well.

    Been trying different woods out since last year using all sorts of makes and i got some second hand 2008 MD woods today and went to old Bray course and hit each perfectly, best woods i ever hit.

    It's just a matter for you to find out at the range or course what suits you best as most likely they are gonna have all the brands mentioned here anyway.

    Best of luck anyway.

    I have the x-22s and they are very good despite being to short for me and to lofted. I get the ball flight to high with them! TM burners would also be a good club because they are as forgiving as the x-22s. In terms off feel. If I could hit the ball with my eyes closed I'd be able to tell you where it went!

    Thanks for the advice folks.
    With the big bertha's, I don't think you could really improve your ball striking because every shot feels the same whether it was dead center or slightly off centre. The more feedback you get from the less forgiving clubs help you improve your ball striking.
    I think I'll just try the G15, X22 and TM's at the range - I think Halpenny or McGuirks have trial sets you can borrow for a couple of days
