While good advice, you realize you're responding to a thread that's almost 2 years old, yes?
If you use the SEARCH box to search for "best irons" (which IMHO is a logical thing for a player to search for), this is the first thread that comes up. So it seems reasonable that DuiTiger6 would reply to this one.
I think that iron selection at the mid-levels (high 50s to mid-80s) boils down to what meter speed you can handle and how long you want to wait. Here's a side-by-side comparison between 3 great candidates that are available as of today, all of which were mentioned earlier in this thread:
I wouldn't recommend the PING i500 Iron Set (L69+) irons simply because the meter speed is horrendous (2.5).
