I'm looking at purchasing a new set of irons. I would like some suggestions on what you guys would think would "fit" my golf game best.

1 - I'm currently a 10 handicap.
2 - I'm a short hitter. 6i=150yrs
3 - I'm a lefty (noting since some clubs are not made in left handed)
4 - I have a low ball flight but would like a higher ball trajectory to gain more carry.
5 - I'm currently playing Mizuno MX-15 with Dynamic Gold R300

The first thing I have though of is for a shaft is GS75 R300 or another very light shaft.

As for clubs I'm interested in, I'm really not sure yet. I plan on going to GolfTown this week.

Driver: MX-500 10.5° Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue 65 Regular
Wood: F-60 15° Exsar FS3 Regular
Hybrid: CLK Fli-Hi 20° S300
Irons: MX-15 R300
Wedges: MP-R Chrome 52°-07°, 56°-13°Putter: White Hot XG #9Ball: HX-TourShoes: Chev X-Series

Look at something with ligherweight low kick point shaft... I think Many Taylormade Game Improvement Irons have these... Perhaps the R7 or Burner 09.. I have a set of R7 XD from 2006 and with stock TM "R" shafts and they are light, hit the ball very high, and have strong lofts... so with something like this you might find you hit the ball higher and hit the new "6 IRON" 160 yds. I would definitely get away from the standard DG shafts (they have a high flex point, therefore promote lower ball flight) and look at something lighter with a lower flex point.... There are some newer Dyanmic Gold Shafts that have these specs (lighter, High Launch). Good Luck.

A couple questions:

What's wrong with the MX-15s? Have you been fit for irons? What's your game like (working the ball, etc.)? It would be easier to help you if these questions were answered.

In my Ogio Ozone Bag:
TM Superquad 9.5* UST Proforce 77g Stiff
15* Sonartec SS-2.5 (Pershing stiff)
19* TM Burner (stock stiff)
4-U - PING i10 White dot, +1.25 inches, ZZ65 stiff shafts55*/11* Snake Eyes Form Forged (DGS300)60*/12* Snake Eyes Form Forged (DGS300)Ping i10 1/2 MoonTitleist ProV1

A couple questions:

Nothing wrong with the MX-15's. And they are not fitted and I have never been fitted for my irons. Have had them for about 5 years now and just starting thinking about trying something new. I'm not sure if I should keep with the game improvement (cavity backs) or try something with more feel (more of a players iron).

As noted my game isn't long so I rely on my short game. Inside 120yrs is my zone. Long game is the challenge at this point. I practice working the ball on the range a lot, but only do it occasionally when I "need" to on the course.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
