Thanks for all the feedback. To address the dispersion/distance argument, I was hitting the 2.0's considerably further according to the monitor, (over 195 with a 6 iron compared to 180 with the AP2's), but the smash factor (ball speed/clubhead speed) was also much nearer 1.5 (the average tour pro's smash factor) with the 2.0's than with the AP2's, which much of the reason for my concern. To address the GIR%, my percentage over the last two years, (spanning roughly the time I was a 12 handicap to now), is about 40%. Though, now, I would say I hit between 9 and 11 greens per round. I know it's supposed to be a little higher based on my handicap, which is why I'm having doubts about getting the AP2's or JPX Pro's.

So I started playing golf three years ago, and it's time to replace the extremely overworked Taylormade RacOS2's that my dad bought me to start me off. I've played a lot over the the course of three years, and I've managed to work my way down to about a six handicap. I wouldn't say my ball striking is the best part of my game, but I get around the course. I went to get a club fitting at my local Golf Galaxy, and, according to the data, I hit the Burner 2.0's best. However, I was also interested in the Titleist AP2's, the JPX 800's and the JPX 800 Pro's. I also hear good things about the new Taylormade Forged 2011 Irons. I do like the 2.0's, but I don't know if it's time to switch to more of a player's iron. I've improved fairly consistently over three years, and I hope to improve further in the next three. I'm worried about buying the super-forgiving, caste 2.0's and being stuck with them for the next three years. Any suggestions are appreciated.
