I’ve got a Taylormade demo scheduled at OU Jimmie Austin in a couple of weeks.
For the Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal crowd, are these considered game improvement irons?

Technically yes. But, i wouldn’t get stuck on any single brand. Doing demo days is helpful but to be honest if you can afford to go to golftec or club champion to spend the 150 To get fitted then that is your best bet. It will allow you to hit every iron imaginable and even give you multiple shafts to tinker with. Most of the time they waive that fee if you purchase from them. But, you’re gonna save yourself a ton of time and energy so to me it’s worth it.

I might be in the minority but some GI irons make me feel like I get away with too many things. I used to have a set and hit them decent but took a hiatus from golf (15 years) and came back to buy mizuno jpx 850 forged (cavity back). Since relearning on these, I have hit way better than I used to because I worked on technique. My mind is fresh again so I want to do it right.
My advice is to get a decent set that you actually like the look of and feel within a decent price and spend the rest on lessons. I also watched Chris Ryan golf, top speed golf, and Malaska channels and they helped a ton
My favorites were srixon z5X5, JPX forged series, and Apex irons.
Srixon Z565, jpx 850 forged, and Apex cf16 are all great deals.

I agree to this to a certain extent. Imo there are different levels of GI irons. I do think some of those do bad things for your game and allow you to get away with mishit shots. But, majority of amateur golfers rarely hit a true flush shot. Eventually imo you make that transition but if you aren’t shooting mid 80s every week then you don’t need those types of irons.

Yeah the hot metals and m6 irons were a good blend. I hit most of the others worse than I did with the players distance irons. Don't know if it was mental thing though as I felt like I had to tighten up my technique in the players distance vs being a tad more loose with the GI.
However, I had to no problem hitting middle of face with mine once my issue was known. My main issue was bad grip which made me open too much and I would Shank. Every since I fixed that, I hit it so much better. I might not have even hit the GI better in my case.

It was wild:
I was hitting the T400s at the Titleist demo lights out. Felt great.
But the thought creeped in my head “man these are goofy looking clubs. Looks like something an 80 year old man would need.”
Never hit another good shot with them, rest of the demo.
