I'm going to be completely honest and, therefore, may come off as shallow. An iron absolutely MUST look good to me for me to even pick it up, right off the rack, but it's good that a vast majority of irons look pretty good now-a-days. Next, I like an iron right in the middle on everything, that goldilocks zone, so to speak. I don't want a ton of offset, I don't want a shovel down there but I also don't want a blade, and it doesn't have to feel "buttery" but I would like some feedback available through forging, for example, with some forgiveness built in. I guess you could say I want it all (which a LOT of irons have today) but only to a certain degree.
Little golf talk on a Friday morning, shall we?
What is it that you look for in an iron? Any musts for you? Design? Size? Finish? Feel/Sound? Forgiveness?
I'll kick it off.
For me, its profile first. I can play a bigger iron, but I don't enjoy it long term and my game actually suffers for it mentally. I know we have had many arguments around here about the whole "focus" aspect, but for me I've proven it time and again, I focus better with a smaller profile players type iron. Not to mention, I think they feel/sound better too.
In a fitting aspect, it helps that spin is my friend, so those end up the profiles that not only emotionally fit me best, but physically as well.
