Just getting back to playing regularly after a brief hiatus. Looking to replace my (way)outdated x-22's. Ive always been a Callaway guy through the bag but im not insistent on replacing with Callaways. I'm a consistent 12, driver swing speed of 100, on average, and I carry my 7 about 160 on a good strike. Any of you have any opinions on a good GI/player's iron to try out? I've browsed the Apex,M2,and AP2 offerings.

Update...I pulled the trigger on a new set of Mizuno JPX 900 Forged, 4-GW, 95 F4 Recoil shafts, .50" long, 2*up. I'm very much looking forward to gaming these!

I play the 15 apexs, I like them.

Most of the new irons are the same. You just need to look at them and hit them. It's all about confidence.

Are the x-22's really that outdated? That what I game. Looks like they came out around 2009, so around 8 years old. Have irons changed that much in 8 years?

I just bought the new Srixon 565s.

I tested those, the M2s, and new Mizunos. All statistics were similar, so I went with what I liked standing over best. Those Srixon irons are sexy AF.

Golfdealsandsteals.com has 3-PW Adams XTD Forged irons with stiff Dynamic Gold shafts for $299.00 right now. Really good looking and well received irons, came out in 2014/2015. It's a CB/MB style set but supposedly still offer good forgiveness...plus they're forged. May be worth looking into.

If you are a consistent 12 the AP1 may be the way to go as opposed to the AP2. Little more forgiving with a wider sole and larger face.

Mizuno JPX-900 Forged and Srixon 765 are good options to add that are outside the major manufacturers. More important than club head, though, is the shaft.

If you're comfortable with a player's iron, you're doing yourself a disservice if you dont' consider the Wilson Staff V6's.

Just won My Golf Spy's most wanted for 2017 and has glowing reviews everywhere.

Go to a respected fitter and hit a variety of clubs. Unless someone is paying you to swing a club you should have ZERO brand loyalty.

I have:
TM woods
Titleist irons
Cleveland wedges
Odyssey putter

I rotate between Callaway Apex's, and Titleist CB's. But, my scoring clubs, wedges, are always Vokey's...

There have been nosignificant improvements in the performance of GI irons in the ladt 20 years
Save your money!
If you want to play better, practice your short game and putting.
