i am a high handicapper who loves good feel and forgiveness. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes.   You always need to hit them, and preferably in an outdoor setting.  Range is good, course is better.  I once took 3 different makes of irons to the outdoor range and their performance forced me to choose the ugliest one.  

Vinsk... OT, but are you about to get your butt back on the golf course?  I am looking at playing this Sunday... been on the injury list since last April.

I’m thinking soon but not soon enough. Probably by the end of February. I’ve carefully done some full swings slowly and the follow through is still a bit tweaked. But glad to say I can move much better.

I believe you'll find a big difference in feel when you hit each one.  After trying them, you'll know w/o anyone telling you their opinion.

How high? What's your age? 

My son-in-law and I went to Golf Galaxy and got fitted. It was a good experience, but I don't have on course results to report. I'm 62, this is only my 4th set of irons. I bought the Cobra Speedzone with graphite shafts, (that's the new version of the F9). I hit the P790, the performance didn't match the price for me. My son-in-law, who is a very high handicapper, bought Ping i210s. You might want to give those a look too?

The other posters are right, go to a golf shop and hit them. Buy what you like! 

Good luck.

Very high or very low handicap? I thought the i210s were more of a player's iron as opposed to a game improvement iron. A Ping G series would be recommended for a high handicapper.

I210. And he is a high handicapper. They had me hit that club and I hit it too high with too much spin. I see that it's not classified game improvement, but that's what worked for him.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
