I am looking at buying a new set of Irons. However this will be my first
set since buying my first set and I have no idea what to look for. I am
still a beginner but want something that could add some distance to my
swing like everyone else.
Can someone tell me what I should be looking for when I am buying a set of
Irons?
Thank you

Find a set you like the looks of.
A set that you can afford.
A set that fits your needs.
Demo sets, get fitted by the name brand companies.
Find a buddy that has a set you like. Try them.
A good set will add confidence to your strikes, resulting in greater
distance.
If you see a set on the shelf you like, go for it.

If you're a beginner then I recommend buying a set with large (oversized)
blades they are much more forgiving.
Depends on your age what type of shafts you should buy. Seniors tend to go
with graphite as it's easier on the body to hit them.... but graphite has
much more torque (head turns slightly).
If you want a little more distance, that comes with practice especially if
you are using newer generation clubs.. I'm a firm believer that it's not
always the bow and arrow as much as it is the indian.
Good luck on your purchase.

3-PW.
If it is your first set, 3,5,7,and 9 is ample.
Something that looks and feels good to YOU.
Steel shafts.
Beware the hybrid crutch.
Learn the blades and bring in the hybrids as desired.
If you want to have some fun and save money--------make your own clubs.

I'm with you. Other than possibly cost for new, I don't think there is
a good reason not to go forged.
I play regularly but not very well and love my MacGregor M565s. If I
had it to do over again, I might consider the M545s as they are bigger
heads.

I'm just looking for the reasoning behind his statement. If cost is
an object, then yes--you can save some money going with cast. But
other than that, there is no reason not to go with forged. They are
available in blades, muscle backs, and cavity back.

I play Golfsmith irons that are a forged cavity-back. The arrows are
fine--the Indian needs some work! :-)

I'm at the point that I can either continue playing the way I do now
with small improvement over a long period of time, or start taking it
seriously with lessons and some work and improve sooner.
I'm opting for choice #1. I enjoy the day on the course at my level of
play, just fine. I generally shoot 50-54 per 9, but occasionally shoot
better. Just the other day I shot a 45, including the dunking a drive
took on a hole that usually eats me up.
To improve my game much, I would have to work on the 5" tool between my
ears... ;-)

You know dave, your probably right, nothing wrong with forged, and in the
day when I was hitting well, I hit them great, and the Feel was great.
Since I got my forged Mizunos, I've lost both feel and at least a 1/2 club
distance. So your right, a newbie may love forged irons, and I even might
like another brand, but I've lost so much faith in mine, that I'm going back
to a cast cavity back.

It doesn't matter. Just buy price. Most of my clubs are from
goodwill stores.
