If you're ready to start shaping your shots, you'll apprreciate the forged irons.
Common misconception. If you understand how a golf swing works, you can hit a basic draw or fade with any iron, SGI included.
Also, forging is a manufacturing process, not a clubhead type. It just so happens that most forged irons of last twenty years are in the Player's category, because they cost more and are marketed to better players. Recently forged GI irons have appeared, such as the Nike VR.S Forged. (Got to hit these with NS Pro 890 stiff shafts - nice launch!)
As for Player's or GI, it depends on what works for you. A Player's iron is less forgiving on mishits, but allows a skilled player more precision in shotmaking. Player's irons allow you to keep the ball lower because they have a higher Vertical Center of Gravity.
But, shot height also is influenced by loft, clubhead design, shaft, player set-up, and type of ball played. So remember that clubhead is only one part of the equation.
