Replacing 5-PW for Conforming Grooves soon.

Hey guys i have Callaway X-Forged '09s. I was thinking about possibly getting conforming irons since i will be playing college golf soon. Since the rule only applies to 25 degrees and higher clubs, i want to keep my 3 and 4 irons since they've worked well for me. I am looking for suggestions for irons that are conforming to new groove rules and are offset similar to my current irons. I am thinking more a muscle back type of iron since these are higher lofts, but i am also considering the forged razr iron so anything between those two are what im looking for. Thanks.

My apologies for my ignorance on this rule, as I find it rather confusing.  I thought it was just professional tournaments that require the new grooves unless otherwise stipulated by the tournament committee.  Have the college ranks implemented this rule as well?  Have you checked with the college / university that you are going to ensure that you need to make this switch?

No problem man. All of my iron switching is still in the hypothetical stage, but USGA AM events will require conforming grooves in 2014 and i am in the high school class of 2012, so i assumed i might as well get used to them now rather than later.

If you are getting new clubs anyway and plan on competing than it makes good sense to make the switch now and maybe have a leg up on other players.
