What irons to buy?

[drzzz]

I have been playing Ping Eye 2 irons since I was in high school (class of 90). I was a 6-7 handicap back then, but have only played a handfull of times per year for the last ten years. I am probably a 10-12 handicap now and am considering new irons now that I have more time to play. Any recs on a premium set of cavity-back irons that maximize forgiveness, spin, and shot-making/shot-working ability? Also interested in wedges. Just FYI, I play a Great Big Bertha II driver with a 7.5 loft and a stiff shaft, also a GBBII 3-wood with a stiff shaft. Also, I was custom fitted for the Ping Eye 2's -- I am 6'3" and play the standard lie, but have a shaft that is 1/2 inch longer than standard.
Thanks!

I'd keep playing the eye 2's.

Actually no I probably wouldn't, if you have cash to burn look for some quality forged players cavities, most of the major OEM's make them.

I'm a little biased toward the MP-60, but Titlest make a great forged iron, and the Cally X-Tours are awesome too.

I'd start with those three and work from there - be prepared to spend about 800 if you want new.

Irons from the 90's are still equal to most current. They just can't change them only so much. The Eye2's were some of the best Pings ever made. Just ask sssmokin.

Keep in mind that WBL and ssmokin' are brainwashed Ping advocates.

They just don't get it.

Wait, Ping Eye 2's in your bag? Forget everything I just said. rop:

Sorry Rock, im gonna have to abandon you now too. Ping ISI-K's are in the bag. Just stick with the Pings, the technology is not that much different. Your woods are fine too. Do you have a decent set of wedges and a putter that works reasonably well? If not, get those. If so, use the money for a few rounds of golf

Just wait a week. This post will be editted to reflect Neal's bag changes.

"The TM/Miz/Titty's/Cobras/KZG/PRGR irons are in the bag now..."

Im too lazy to edit my post, but the SE 600 combos and the Pings have been pretty solidly in the bag lately. I won the club Championship with the Cobra SS Forged, but they're so worn down. Those are the three sets of irons which i have not wavered from in quite a while

Whoah whoah whoah, 7.5 degree driver? Say wha?

As far as irons those Ping Eye2s are really nice, the only upgrade I could recommend would be to get something more aggresive if you found it necessary.
