I have played 30-40 sets of irons in my life. I will make this one simple - try and find a set of MacGregor M565 irons on ebay for about $150. Check out the reviews on these irons on golfreview.com. These are ideal for your handicap. Nobody should be playing blades anymore. They are simply inferior to the new cavity back "players" clubs on the market.

I guarantee you that you will shoot consistently shoot lower scores with cavity backs. I'm not talking about player improvement clubs. Even the pros have abandoned blades with the exception of 7 irons and above.
Whats in my bag:
Driver: Cleveland Launcher 460
Fairway/Hybrid: 15 & 19 degree Nickent 3dx Utility
Irons: MacGregor M565
Wedges: Cleveland 900 RTG 54 & 58 degreePutter: Odyssey DFX 2 ball

Titleist 695.CB/MB mix.
I would go with 3,4,5,6 in the Cavities, and then 7,8,9 in the blades.
Or you could try their new ZM set, which is basically the same, except a bit harder to hit in the cavities.
I don't know why no one is recommending titleist, as they still make the best irons I believe and so do most pro's.
Driver Titleist 905R 9.5* (Stiff Prolaunch Blue 65g)

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
