Trying out different clubs is dangerous for me

Had a little down time at work today and stopped in Golf Galaxy to pick up a couple things. I decided to swing the Srixon irons and holy cow, I wasn't quite ready to pick up a new set yet. I swung the ZXiR, ZXiRHL, and ZXi5. The ZXiR was a touch better than my Tm Sim2 irons, but not enough to make me spend the money. Then I picked up the HL and 5 both with graphite shafts and that was a game changer. I have never hit irons that well and consistent. The HL was more consistent for me and felt very balanced. The 5 felt just as good but I had a couple I didn't get the club faced closed on correctly. I could honestly be very happy with either and would like to try the ZXiR with the graphite shaft to compare.
For reference, I'm a high handicapper around 19-20, and swing speed with my irons was showing 95 today. Had a few break 100 when I started letting it rip more and feeling more comfortable, but I question the accuracy of those numbers. The launch monitor wasn't picking up the ball well.
I've read really good reviews on the Srixon irons the last couple years, but man I didn't expect them to feel that good.

I can't help being skeptical of a launch monitor at a place trying to sell me clubs.
Not to mention hitting off the mat is quite a bit different than real turf.

To be fair, I wasn't even looking at the monitor to see what it was showing or the tracer. This place had a full bay so it wasn't like I was hitting into a net 10 feet away, I could actually see the flight path of the ball and was basing everything on feel rather than data.
I agree about being skeptical though, pretty easy for them to set the range at altitude so the ball carries further on the monitor.

I’ve had the zxi7’s for almost two years and absolutely love them. So easy to hit.
