re: Thinking about getting some new Irons, any suggestions

Ive got a suggestion. DONT. Hear me out. Im a 5 handicap and was playing Ping Eye 2 black dots from the 1980s. Thought id see if some new irons would give me some additional distance that ive lost over the years (Im 57). Got custom fitted at Club Champion in Metairie and paid $2500 for 4-pw Ping 525 with custom shaft. I hit them great and they do go further. But 2 years later im still a 5 handicap.
