I'll be the first, and hopefully not last, to say this. DEMO SOME!. I'm 16, play to a 5 handicap, and have 14 sets of irons in my rooms, and have probably gone through close to 30. None of them are the be-all of irons. I demo mine buy buying them, but if you dont have the ability to do that, figure out what you are looking for in an iron(forged, cast, blades, cavity backs, shovels, combos), then look online to find a few sets that match your desires. See if they are in your price range, find a demo club to hit somewhere, and hunt a set down on eBay. However, i would blindly recommend Cobra SS Forged, Callaway X16, or Mizuno MX-23 irons
