Just some quick advice if I may.

I am due to be fitted for clubs next week at St Ives (through the bag)

Currently I am playing with game improvement clubs (a manufacturer beginning with C - Am i allowed to mention them here?) (Definitely not Sarah!!!! - Neil)

My handicap is not really indicative of my ball striking - since I haven't done a proper competition for ages. Although the last one I did was a 4 ball stableford and I scored around 45 points (contributing all the points for the mixed team) - but as such did not affect handicap.

Most of my additional shots come from poor putting (i often 3 putt), and being useless in wet sand (can take me >4 shots). But despite that i usually shoot in the 90s. (from the the men's tees, not the ladies)

My pitching wedge hits about 100 yards (>80%) (longer if I get a pure hit). My duffs with a pitching wedge are a bit short or pushed (about 10%).

My 3 hybrid goes about 180-190 yards, the three wood from 200 to 230 yards.

When I last went on a trackman my swing speed was given about 95 (although this was about a year ago). I'm not sure if I have slowed down or speeded up as my tempo has improved.

I also have a high launch angle

SO, my question is this.

I was thinking about AP2 irons (suggested when I first had lessons with the Pro), but wondering if it is worth asking about the more blade-like irons - CB and MB. ..and before anyone suggests it - I am not at all keen on AP1 irons. 

I know that they are harder to hit, and for some that takes the enjoyment away. BUT, i am keen to get clubs that will force me to get better. I think I am the sort of golfer that likes to hit as perfectly as possible, rather than being bothered by the score so much. Hence i have been mostly working on swing mechanics.

I would also like to have clubs that I can feel, and learn to work properly for harder courses that require shot making rather than just hitting straight.

I guess that the person fitting, will probably recommend something based on what they see. But I am worried that they will see a female golfer and automatically pull out the game-improvement clubs with ladies flex shafts, and don't want to look stupid for asking for player-type clubs.

Cheers
