Hello, I am a 16 year old 6 handicap golfer and I am getting fitted for new clubs tomorrow. I have been doing a lot of research on irons, however there are a lot of great ones out there. I am getting better everyday and am slowly approaching scratch level. Knowing this, I need some advice on what irons I should buy. I have a very high ball flight and while I hit my driver far (around 300), I don't hit my current graphite irons far (7-iron about 155). I would like to get more distance and greater feel with my irons while lowering my ball flight. I have been looking at Titleist and Mizuno irons for the most part, but am open to suggestions. Please give me some advice since I would like to work my way down to scratch and possible play golf in college. Thanks.

I've heard a lot of great things about the Mizuno fitting system and would recommend the new MP-59 irons, they look really sweet.  I would also recommend KBS tour shafts, seems like you might want to lower your spin rate

Thanks so much for the reply and the welcome! I just got fitted today and now am considering Henry-Griffitts custom clubs due to my tall posture and high launch angle. I am also trying out the Mizuno's tomorrow as well as some other leading brands.

    • Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on. 
    • I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
