catagorizing import irons

[Henry]

With so many choices of great looking import irons in the Pro Shop and from what Chris has told us about, The hardest part for me is choosing the ones I like best. Some irons may look great but are more of Game Improvment than Players irons. I would love to get a list going of irons that are out there and catagorize them in terms of Players irons, Game Improvement irons or Super-Game Improvement irons as Golf Digest recently did in the Hot-List. I am assuming a low handicap player may choose a Game Improvement iron as opposed to a Player iron if he wants more forgivness but would never choose a Super Game improvement iron because of looks. Some of the import irons I am looking at include the Tourstage CB2, ViQ Forged Irons, Mizuno MP 27, JPX 300 and 301. Anyone want to start catagorizing these and others so we can get a list going? Thanks!

There was a thread discussing this sometime last year (Chris might remember it...) and the feeling was that alot of the new irons blur the lines between player and game improvement. For example, some of the 'player' type Gauge irons are supposed to be much easier to hit than say a Taylormade TP Cavity, Titleist 690 CB, etc. Some irons definitely strike me as being much more 'game improvment' oriented, such as XXIO's or some of the PRGR 925. Maybe a question about an iron with certain characteristics would get a few more responses... hopefully some other people can chime in with their thoughts.
