As I am improving my game and becoming a better golfer, I am confident to reach single digit handicap within a year or 2. I believe that I should get a used intermediate set of irons for now. I would spend top dollar for pro level irons at that point, such as the nike forged blades if my game warrants it. Thanks for the input everyone, I'll try to demo the suggested brands over the next couple of weeks. I am still puzzled about my high swing speed and the short irons distances. The ball does go very very high from these irons. Maybe I am losing my distance there. My 6 years old technology 300cc driver goes 250-260 on the fly....

I am thinking about replacing my 5 wood, the idea pro is a few inches shorter and much easier to hit. You are right, for long par 5's and teeing off on tight fairways on windy days, I use my 3 wood one days when I dont feel as confident with the driver, 14* caould be another option.

I'm 5'-8", 160lbs. have recently used several web sites for computer based online fittings, all show about -2 degree flat and -1/2 inch length with 1/16" larger grip size. Used to play a lot of cricket, so my right arm is one inch longer than left, will definately benefit from a proper fitting. I'll look at the taylormade r7's...

MP-57 sell for about $600 used, used MX-20's are under $200, dot think I am ready to spend that much on irons yet!

I am using the Idea pro Hybrid 2 Iron (18 degrees) for about 2 weeks, have played two rounds with it. The best $150 I ever spent. I tested the Regular and Stiff shafts and bought the R flex shaft based on my control and feel. I was swinging the club at 100+ mph but still felt R flex gave me better control and higher ball flight for a softer landing. This is their standard Aldila VS Proto Blue ByYou Graphite shaft. I am averaging about 225-235 yards on the fly. I am thinking of buying the 1 iron (16 degrees) or the tour van version 14 degrees. FYI, Anthony kim uses the 14 degrees club. Does anyone have any experience with either one? None of the local stores carry the 1 iron for a test drive. I see one 14 degree available on ebay with stiff flex shaft. I am puzzled about the shaft selection. S or R. Would R flex be a mistake for such a long driving club. I am confident I could comfortably go to 250 yards with the 16 degree and probably much more with the 14 degree.

Hi everyone, I know that there are a lot of very knowledgeable members in the forum, before I go out and get fitted for irons, I would like to get some feedback. I started playing golf last year, a friend recommended an inexpensive starter set: "Hippo" brand "BEAST" w/ John Daly signature irons. Reg graphite flex. I am 18 handicap already and getting better every week, I hit my 7 iron to about 145 yards, very high and straight, landing softly, quite consistently now. Pitching wedge goes very high and straight also to about 105 yards. I can slightly fade the ball with the long irons but had no success with learning to draw the ball. Most lessons and practice are already planned, of course. Could it be that these cavity back forgiving irons don't allow me to work the ball. I would like to increase my distance and ability to draw or fade the ball on demand. I am a strong athlete, 5-8, 160lbs. I tested my driver swing speed at GolfGalaxy yesterday, it varied between 96 to 111mph. I am assuming my iron swing speed would be a bit slower. BTW, GolfGalaxy charges $50 for an iron fitting if you don't buy the irons. I can buy a used set on ebay and modify them based on the iron fitting specs for lie, length and loft ??? I have read several comments about the Mizuno MX20's w/steel stiff shafts. I'll know what shaft is appropriate after the fitting. Is that a good choice to graduate to the next intermediate level of irons?

I would say tiger because of his mental toughness, imagine the media circus and the unbelievable size of the spectator galleries surrounding him at every hole, jack was very popular but never had this level of media and fan frenzy to deal with.
