GI irons, or a step up for me

[tehdeuce]

Hey guys,

I am planning on going to a local golf center here in Fredericksburg, VA to be fitted and purchase a new set of clubs. I have never had my own clubs, but as I've graduated college and started into a life of responsibility; I have somehow finally found a passion for golf. Golf was always something I would do with my dad once every few years. I was good enough to get around the course, being a natural athlete, baseball player, but never a good player.

I've decided to try get serious about my golf game. I go to the range 3 times a week usually, and try to play once. Are game improvement irons a good choice for me at my level, ability, and given my goals to really focus and become a decent player?

The clubs I use now are a set my grandfather made from golfsmith materials. It says it is a bi-axial weighted cavity back head. I certainly can feel a good hit vs a bad one. Some TrueTemper shaft.

I hit my friends very low level, cheap set of clubs (Cougar?). It had an offset, and looked very chunky. They felt the same no matter how I hit it. This is a sensation I have never felt. I don't have a good or bad opinion on that feeling, it is just different then what I am used to. Would high quality GI irons be like this?

Although I am a 20ish handicap. A big reason this number is high is because my Fairways Hit stat is probably about 10%. I never find the fairway due to a push/slice with my driver/3 wood. My putting is good, and my iron play is decent, although a bit short. I don't feel that I am a great ball striker yet.

Does anyone have an opinion on a good direction for me to take in the way of new clubs?

Thanks,

Bryan

Head into a local shop and just hold, feel and swing as many irons as you can.
