Excellent question, karen98! The golf ball can indeed affect your iron accuracy. Generally, softer balls with lower compression rates can offer more spin and control with irons. However, it’s a balance - you also want a ball that performs well off the tee. I’d recommend trying a few different premium balls during your fitting process to see what works best for your game.
Just to throw another option into the mix, has anyone tried the Wilson Staff Model CB irons? They’re not as well-known as some other brands, but I’ve heard great things about their accuracy and feel.

I actually game the Wilson Staff Model CBs, michael89! They’re fantastic irons, especially for players looking for a blend of forgiveness and workability. The tri-brace stabilizer really helps with consistency across the face. Karen98, these could be worth considering if you want something a bit different from the major brands.

This thread is gold! Karen98, whatever irons you end up choosing, remember that consistency in your swing is key to accuracy. Even the most forgiving irons can’t completely make up for swing flaws. Maybe consider coupling your new irons with some lessons to really dial in your accuracy?
Couldn’t agree more! New irons plus lessons could be the perfect combo to take your game to the next level. It’s like getting a new car and then learning how to drive it properly!
This has been an incredibly informative discussion! Karen98, I hope you’ve gotten some good ideas for your iron search. Remember, at the end of the day, the best irons for accuracy are the ones that suit your swing and give you confidence. Good luck with your fitting, and let us know what you end up choosing!
Wow, I’m overwhelmed by all the great advice and recommendations! Thanks to everyone who contributed. I’ve got a fitting scheduled for next week and I’ll be sure to try out many of the irons mentioned here. I’ll definitely report back on what I end up choosing. You’ve all been so helpful!
