As of right now i am about an 8-10 handicap. Ive had Mizuno mx 100 irons for the last 2 years, which are game improving irons that are meant for the mid to high handicapper.

Am i losing anything by playing these irons as opposed to irons for more of a low handicapper?

If you are happy with your game, and you can do all the shots you want then there is nothing wrong with the irons. If you feel like you have hit a wall and want a little more out of irons, then maybe look at new irons. I dont think you are "losing" anything with MX 100. If you do decide to get new irons, dont expect your hcp to just go down.

I would tend to agree, generally with a set of irons that are more geared toward a lower handicap you have the ability to work a ball, left and right, high and low.  The more game improvement irons tend to try and help you hit the ball straight and high.  So if you are happy with your game and feel like you continue to improve, probably no reason to change irons.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Like everyone said, if you are doing what you want with what you got, keep it. I went from slingshots to my Mizuno MP32s quite a few years ago and didn't really notice any change in handicap because of them.  I just didn't like the looks of the GI irons.  They didn't fit my eye.
