I want an iron that is going to grow with me as a player. I'm pretty new to the game but am not to shabby. I shoot around a 45 with little to know short game which I think is pretty damn good. I have come across some money from my father because he actually won for once in a casino trip so he's hooking his nineteen year old son up with his first real set of irons. I currently play taylormade 320's. This is my first summer playing and am getting better and better. Should I go with g10, g5, i10, or i5's? I was planning on going g10 or g5 but on another forum a user said that this could hamper my growth. Im not the best striker of the ball, yet, but am getting better. So, what are you guys reccomending I do. I was thinking of mizuno 25's also but am open to what you guys recomend. Thanks a lot.

Well, if money is not an issue, I would go with the 10's instead of the 5's, just because the 10's are newer, and have better technology by a year. If money is an issue, get the 5's, because they will be about $200-$300 cheaper, and not that much different.

With that being said, if you the the g5/g10, they would fit your game well right now because they are designed for maximum forgiveness for a high handicapper like yourself. Unfortunately, once you get a bit better, you will want something not as bulky, so you can be able to work the ball better.

That brings me to why I think you should get the i5/10's. The i10 irons from what I have heard are pretty forgiving, which is good for a high-handicapper like yourself, but also fairly easy to work the ball for when you get better.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
