Re: What kind of Iron set is it??

They look like a knockoff set. I've had very good results with Ping irons for the last 15 years. The Ping Zings and Ping Zing 2s gave me the accuracy I needed and the expanded sweet spot that perimeter weighted (or cavity back) irons have let me get away with off center shots.

Re: What kind of Iron set is it??

Well. ran the name Rival (found on your photo of the 8 iron) on google and seems it's made by a company named Orlimar (perhaps UK). An article in an undated Golf Today (internet) article states that Callaway is/was suing Orlimar for patent infringement! WOW! Seems ya' got a clone set there. In my book, ain't nothing wrong with that!
Google the name Rival Golf ...or Orlimar Golf see what ya' get! "Orlimar Golf" is all over the place!

Swing happy my friend!

I'd say get a 7 and 9 wood, maybe a hybrid. And a sand and pitching wedge. I wouldn't bother with set of irons.

See if you can find an older set of Callaway X-16 or X-18 irons. You should be able to pick them up for a real good price being older clubs, and they should be perfect to learn with.
