I would recommend regardless of where and what brand clubs you buy, that you get fitted for them. Makes all the difference in the world if your clubs are the proper length and lie.

I am also a 15 handicap. I recently went with Taylormade Burner Irons (2009) graphite, 4 thru lob. Lob is fairly easy to hit out of light rough for full shots or short pitches not so easy on tight lies. These clubs are 10-15 yards longer than my 2004 Calaway Big Bertha steel. and for the first time in my life I am able to hit a draw with the longer irons. I alos have T.M. R9 driver and 4 wood. Love them.
I would also recommend professional fitting or at least buy the club you get to hit on Demo Day if it is working for you. The new set might not have the same shaft characteristics even if they are labeled the same.(Chinese technology)
