Very, very nice set of clubs. I would recommend getting fitted for them, find out if you need them adjusted for your swing and determine which shaft is best for you. If you're gonna spend this much on irons and are ready for this kind of upgrade then that is a crucial step towards game improvement. You will see more distance if you're using clubs older then 7-8 years for sure. The 7I is lofted I believe at like....28.5 degrees which for example the Nike Slingshot irons I used to use that was the loft of my 5 iron but these are much more forgiving. Bigger sweet spot, I really do like them but again I got fitted and needed 2 degree change in lift and a heavier, stiffer shaft for my swing.

I'd actually say fitting isn't that important if :
A. you're looking at game improvement irons and
B. you're looking at this deal which means you're prioritizing value vs. customization
The vast majority of golfers that are looking at game improvement irons aren't going to benefit from dialing in an iron shaft outside of proper flex (and even that's questionable) I get it, golf is full of shiny equipment that's super fun to shop, buy and geek out on, but at this level, 99% of any improvement will come from your swing, not your club.
Distance/loft on an iron number is irrelevant, just feeds ego. Fitting at high handicap is more of a marketing ploy vs. practical. Just get the best set of clubs at a reasonable budget and work on your game, not your gear.
$600 is a great price for these even at a few years old. Will probably serve you well for a long long time. I was using Callaway X-22 (GI iron from around 2007) for over a decade well into single digit handicaps, and when my game finally caught up to my equipment, i upgraded (just this past summer actually).
Yes, this is regular price. For this same price at Dicks, Scheels or Amazon you can get a set of TaylorMade's NEWEST irons, Stealth (late 2022/early 2023), instead of these Sim2 relics released Jan 2021.

Callaway preowned has some good deals on used iron sets. It's definitely good to get fit if you play weekly or so but if you play occasionally get the most forgiving used clubs you can find and play those. If you're really tall like over 6'2 you should prolly get slightly extended clubs. I paid $1000 for custom fit clubs and it didn't make me play any better but it made me realize spending money on clubs won't make you better at golf. The ball don't lie.

People make way too big a deal about getting fitted. It's some of the most regurgitated nonsense I hear in these comment sections. Unless you're super tall or super short you're fine buying off the rack. Take into consideration your swing speed when it comes to regular vs stiff and 90% of people shopping on SD are in good shape.
Don't waste your money getting fitted if you do not have a consistent swing. Get your swing right and play for a bit… you get better and want to start taking the game seriously, then get fitted.
The get fitted narrative is just a way for stores to squeeze a good bit more money out of double digit suckers.

Well duh. Who's getting fitted if they're not really into golf and committed? Who's marketing getting fitted for beginners?
Any PGA superstore or maybe even Dick's can do it. Most golf shops that sell clubs will have the little board that you swing and hit on that marks where your strike is. Its really not that involved of a process, aside from the little board you just find out what your swing speed is and that can tell you what shaft is best for you. Only takes a few minutes and likely free so I think it's worth it

Club fitting should not cost anything. If it does, go somewhere else. When I got my clubs on sale at PGA Superstore, I did a 15 minute fitting, ordered them in the store from the factory with a slight uplift and a specific shaft and that was it. I disagree that fitting is overhyped, even for someone of average height could have a swing that a slight change in the lift that increases the sweet spot on the club by quite a bit meaning less mishits and therefore significant game improvement. Your reasoning that everyone should learn the same swing is very incorrect (see Furyk, Jim or more recently Scheffler, Scotty) you should learn how to make your individual swing as consistent and repeatable as possible.

What's your friends handicap? If he doesn't have one then I'd take his opinion as anecdotal.
