That's why I got the Ping S59 - to see how I could hit it, and to use down at the range based on the idea that if I could hit *that* club well, hitting my super-forgiving irons would be a doddle. I actually picked mine up for $4 from Golfsmith when they were selling off all their demo/fitting clubs, so mine has all the specs printed on the sole! At the same time I picked up a Mizuno MX-17 and Cobra 3400 demo club to see which felt better, which led to me getting the full set of 3400s. But I always wanted to see what a real 'players club' felt like, so bought that Ping and now understand what 'feel' really means when you hit it well. It's also amazing how much you can tell the differences between the balls you hit with it too, compared to the forgiving irons. You can always tell the massive difference when you hit a 'real' ball down at the range that's found its way into the range balls.
I think EZ is right though, and that the ultra-forgiveness is now holding me back more than helping. I suspect some new irons will be in the bag by the end of the year, but for now I'm going to swap over to the old irons for a bit and see how they go...
