I basically have a similar question about pro versus game improvement irons. My clubs are a hodgepodge set of used clubs some pro some game improvement. I am in my mid 50's and shoot low 90's average and get into the 80's at times. I want to buy an actual set of irons when I retire and play almost daily and see what I can do. I hit from the back tees as I hit long (I'll get longest drive in local tournaments at times) but lose strokes chipping and putting and hitting behind the ball when I am not focusing and I figure playing more often will help that. So, assuming I am buying one set do I work into pro irons or do I make this as easy on myself as possible and buy good game improvement irons? My lean is game improvement but am not sure.
