I'm sure this type if question gets asked a lot but I'm hoping you all can help me out.
I'm about a bogey golfer (20 handicap) and I'm looking for some new irons. The set I have now are ten year old Big Berthas and they are pretty much falling apart. The issues with my game don't really come from ball striking/iron play too much (the occasional errant shot but everyone has those). Most of my problems come from the tee and inside 50 yards. As a result, I'm looking to get less of a GI iron than I'm currently playing with. I still need an iron with decent forgiveness but I'm looking for one that has a much smaller profile than the BBs (not hard to do).
I typically play a fairly long ball and really only need 5-PW; I don't think I've ever played a 3 or 4 iron in a round. This year I purchased a membership and will be playing a lot for the first time since high school (played more rounds last week than in the previous two years) so I'm hoping to improve quite a bit and to get playing with the new irons ASAP. The other big concern is cost. I'll most likely be buying used online so sets that are readily available used at good prices would be a huge bonus. There is nowhere around where I live to demo any clubs so that's unfortunately not an option.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
