I'm in the market for new irons (I currently have callaway big bertha fusions and plan on buying either ping s59's, Cobra's new blades, or taylormade rac tp mb's). The s59's i hit really solid, i have hardly any trouble with any ball flight, and i find the long irons MUCH easier to hit because i can actually hit them clean. I haven't hit the new cobra's or the tp mb's , but i have never hit a bad cobra club and i have hit the regular rac blades which are similar to the TP's. the reason i want new irons is because i feel that mine are way too heavy and bulky, i can't hit the ball with a clean divot, and i cant work the ball at all....for example, they won't let me start the ball right and hit a draw...it just starts straight and dies way too far left...and it never allows me to hit a consistent, soft high fade which used to be my "bread and butter'' shot...they feel like they have a mind of their own, and that they control me, not me controlling them as it should be..is it possible that the fact that they are game improvement iron can be hurting my game?

the new cobra's are supposed to be great. but idk how good of a player you are if they are goood for you. My friend is a +1 handicap and just ordered them, so I don't know what's good for you. Go test some stuff, demo day, driving range or something.

CG031 i bet they'd be a step up from his clubs atm, his clubs right now are super game improvement irons and are the fattest things i've ever seen my dad has em and i can't hit them just because they are so fat.

I think blades are good for high and low handicappers. IMO, it's a myth that high handicappers shouldn't use blades. 5 weeks ago, I was hitting in the 105-110 range with some great CB's that I just couldn't figure out, so I got a couple of sets of blades, and my scores are now 85-90. 20 strokes just like that because I picked up some blades and they showed me what I was doing wrong with my swing. I think it's important to just use clubs that feel good, whether you're a low handicapper who likes CB's or a high handicapper who likes blades.
