I'm looking at buying a new set of irons, probably the Bridgestone GC Mid or the Cobra FP. I have no idea what kind of flex to get on the steel shafts or if it even matters that much since they are steel. I know the number one way to determine is by measuring swing speed but in the city I live in I'm not sure there's even a place to do that.
Anyhow, I hit my 7 Iron about 165-170, if I really go at it and hit it well I could probably get it about 175 with my current set of irons, Wilson Deep Red II's. So first I'd like an opinion on whether to get Reg or Stiff shafts. Also, if anyone has hit the Cobra FP or Bridgestone GC Mid could you give me your opinions. I'm looking for a new set of irons and willing to listen to any and all opinions. I'm about a 16 handicap, but I'm improving rapidly. I'm looking for a set of somewhat forgiving cavity backs with a fairly thin topline and I'm trying as hard as I possibly can to stay away from oversized club heads.
