Hi. I am 14 years old and am looking for some new irons. i currently have cleveland ta5 gunmetal irons which are cavitiy backs in senior/A flex. i want some irons in regular flex but don't know what to get. I strike the ball well most of the time and usually take a nice divot. Playing off 8 i want some muscle backs or thin cavities. i like mp-60's and the callaway fusions can you recommend others please. for guidance i hit my 7 iron about 150. Thanks.

Tough to say. Try irons out. Callaway, PING, Cleveland, Mizuno, TM, Nickent, Tour Edge, Nicklaus, Wilson, Vulcan, E21, Yonex, F2, etc. Though some of these brands are not well know or highly aclaimed, you never know what you will get.
Also consider:
What trajectory do i want (low, high, average)?
What is most important: distance, forgiveness, feel, consistency, value (price vs. performance)?

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)

When I was 14 years old, I was lucky to have a hand-me-down bicycle.

I never had to deal with such a soul searching question, but I would suggest you have a professional club fitter solve this very perplexing question. RBTL

get fitted on a launch monitor, from there you'll be set on the correct shaft and lie angles. from there just demo, demo, demo... find what fits your game best. I know a lot of people who bought irons because of appearance and reputation rather than how they hit them.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
