So I ended up going with the x-forged. i took em out to a short par 3 course near my house. they were easy to work, as it was expected. Another thing that was not surprising was when you didn't hit them right on the screws, you could tell. a reason why i went with this decision without really thinking too hard was because you can return the clubs within 90 days with a full refund, which is pretty amazing, so i might use them for about 2-3 more weeks, and see what i think after that.
if i dont like them after that, i can just take them back and look what else they have. i have been tempted, as they also had a used set of ping i5's for about the same price. i have heard the i5's are fairly easy to work, and fairly forgiving, so they are kinda in the middle. those sound appealing.
let me know what you guys think, this can just be another "what irons should i get thread."
Thanks for all that have helped me so far!
