I'm looking at purchasing a new set of irons. I would like some suggestions on what you guys would think would "fit" my golf game best.

1 - I'm currently a 10 handicap.
2 - I'm a short hitter. 6i=150yrs
3 - I'm a lefty (noting since some clubs are not made in left handed)
4 - I have a low ball flight but would like a higher ball trajectory to gain more carry.
5 - I'm currently playing Mizuno MX-15 with Dynamic Gold R300

The first thing I have though of is for a shaft is GS75 R300 or another very light shaft.

As for clubs I'm interested in, I'm really not sure yet. I plan on going to GolfTown this week.

Driver: MX-500 10.5° Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue 65 Regular
Wood: F-60 15° Exsar FS3 Regular
Hybrid: CLK Fli-Hi 20° S300
Irons: MX-15 R300
Wedges: MP-R Chrome 52°-07°, 56°-13°Putter: White Hot XG #9Ball: HX-TourShoes: Chev X-Series

Look at something with ligherweight low kick point shaft... I think Many Taylormade Game Improvement Irons have these... Perhaps the R7 or Burner 09.. I have a set of R7 XD from 2006 and with stock TM "R" shafts and they are light, hit the ball very high, and have strong lofts... so with something like this you might find you hit the ball higher and hit the new "6 IRON" 160 yds. I would definitely get away from the standard DG shafts (they have a high flex point, therefore promote lower ball flight) and look at something lighter with a lower flex point.... There are some newer Dyanmic Gold Shafts that have these specs (lighter, High Launch). Good Luck.

I'm looking at purchasing a new set of irons. I would like some suggestions on what you guys would think would "fit" my golf game best.

A couple questions:

What's wrong with the MX-15s? Have you been fit for irons? What's your game like (working the ball, etc.)? It would be easier to help you if these questions were answered.

In my Ogio Ozone Bag:
TM Superquad 9.5* UST Proforce 77g Stiff
15* Sonartec SS-2.5 (Pershing stiff)
19* TM Burner (stock stiff)
4-U - PING i10 White dot, +1.25 inches, ZZ65 stiff shafts55*/11* Snake Eyes Form Forged (DGS300)60*/12* Snake Eyes Form Forged (DGS300)Ping i10 1/2 MoonTitleist ProV1

A couple questions:

Nothing wrong with the MX-15's. And they are not fitted and I have never been fitted for my irons. Have had them for about 5 years now and just starting thinking about trying something new. I'm not sure if I should keep with the game improvement (cavity backs) or try something with more feel (more of a players iron).

As noted my game isn't long so I rely on my short game. Inside 120yrs is my zone. Long game is the challenge at this point. I practice working the ball on the range a lot, but only do it occasionally when I "need" to on the course.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
