I recently just started golfing in June. I purchased a set of Callaway X-16 pro clubs of marketplace and they have been awesome so far. I am far from consistent but I can hit them a long way. Currently, my 7-iron is in the 180-190 range, and 4- iron about 210-220. I do eventually want to upgrade to something newer but I am afraid of losing distance but also don't want to get anything that's too unforgiving.
I guess I was wondering if newer irons typically increase or decrease distance, and how they differ in forgiveness from older clubs. Is there anything I should be looking out for?
