forgiving irons(specific models) for high handicapers????

[Manu]

Hey guys, Need advice on sets of irons that are forgiving and good for a high handicapper...28 who has problems with consistency specially with 4 and 5 irons. Herd about rac os from taylor made or cobra 3100 i/h...any other suggestions within a 600$ range(could be new or used in good condition).Im used to steel shafts...would graphite be better for me? More forgiving...lighter?Thanks

I would take a look at the Mizuno MX900, though I'm partial to Mizuno. I've heard good things about the Taylormade R7 XD something or other (the game improvement version). You can also pick up a set of Cleveland Launcher irons for real cheap. I used to play them - very long, and very forgiving especially on thin shots.

that said, if you're ok with a used set, you can get pretty much anything you need for 600 dollars. i would also consider dropping the long irons in favor of some hybrids. unless you're a good iron player and/or are in the single digits, most people would be better off without the 3 and 4 irons. as for graphite v. steel, that's primarily dependent on swing speed (among other things)...if you don't know it, how far do you hit a solidly hit 6 iron?

tHANKS, I will look at the mizuno mx 900. I hit a 6 iron to about 160 yards on a good shot....1 shot out of 3 tries or so. I dont know my swing speed but comparing myself to other golfers i see at the range its average tending to fast.That does help?

For high handy's, I would recommend these:

Even the OS2.

Taylormade HT's are extremely easy to hit and high launch angles. The R7 XD version have stronger lofts, so it MIGHT be a tad harder to hit. Just my opinion.
