I am still using (never seen a reason to "upgrade") a vintage set of Ping Eye 2+ (2-SW with matching serials) and a Eye 2 1-iron & LW. I have always hit long irons really well (do like the offset)....."switched" from a small blade when I got married (and started having kids) and my playing frequency went down. Always missed the pin-point accuracy of blade type of short irons --- but think that cavity back forged are probably the only thing I'd be satisfied with.
Frankly, I do carry a 4-wood but rarely hit it - unless downwind (same distance as my 2-iron which Is more accurate and consistent for me).
Thinking about buying a nice set of cavity back forged irons with a progressive offset and then also getting a "tour version type" hybrid (like a 15 degree) for hitting out of tight lights and light rough. Anyone have any suggestions ??????
