I can't answer your question because I kind of have the same question. I've been playing Taylor Made Super Steel irons for many, many years. I know they are not a high line club but I never really felt the need to get something 'better'. They've always got the job done for me without a lot of thought involved. Now I'm starting to wonder if an upgrade wouldn't be beneficial. Or am I better to leave well enough alone?

Not very often I must admit. When I have a shot of around 200 yards or so, I use my 3. In fact I'm more likely to also use the 3 for shots even slightly less than 200. The 4 just seems to fall in a distance that I evidently don't have very often.

I have always fought a slice and fade. It hasn't been that bad lately but I've always envied those able to draw the ball. I got tired of always seeing the ball curl right at the end and cut my distance. Just lately I've tried doing something a little different and it's working so well, I want to pass it along. Maybe it will help somebody else. I knew that I was probably leaving the clubface open especially with the driver and more than likely swinging on an out to in path. So, I went to the range and practiced aiming at the inside corner of the ball, not the back of it. I was thinking 'try to hit that inside corner AND make sure that I really turned my right hand over the left at impact. By doing that, I must be hitting the ball square on the backside and in so doing I think my swing plane has become less steep. And as I said, also concentrate on turning that right hand hard into the impact. Today, I just KILLED it. I swear I hit balls maybe longer than I ever have in my life and I'm 60. The evidence was birding two par 5's and finishing only 5 over. Again, one of the best rounds I've ever shot. I'm really excited with this breakthrough. I wish winter wasn't coming so soon now.
