I am currently gaming a set of Cobra S2 irons (4-PW) with Nippon NS Pro stiff shafts. I am looking at getting some new irons. I would like to get more towards a players iron without going to a blade. When I bought the S2s I wasn't a great ball striker and now I am, so I could easily handle more of a players iron. I am considering Taylormade Tour Preferred MC, Cobra Bio Cell +, and Ping i25. Any thoughts??

Yep agree with those, I'll add Titleist AP2's, Callaway Apex Pro or X2 Hot Pros.

I went from Cobra S2 irons to Mizuno MP-69s. Very happy. Hope to have them for 20 years. I bought the Cobras because my game was in poor shape and I wanted the stronger lofts plus higher launch. I took some lessons and practiced and got much better. When I was looking I wanted a blade that wouldn't kill me, and that was the Mizunos.

If you want to stick with Cobra , The s3 Pro Forged are very nice and I believe they can be had for cheap.

I've hit the MP-69s. They feel great. The only problem is that I get a lot of spin on the ball as it is and the Mizuno's add even more to a point where I cant control the spin. If I could hit them with less spin or if I could control the spin, I would go for them.

As far as the S3 forged goes, I cant find any new sets anywhere and I don't want to buy them used. I have hit them, and I hit them well. If I could find them new, I would get them.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
