Players iron vs game improvement iron problem

15s threshold

I got a new set of ping g440s last year and they are great. Played a lot last year and this year and went hard with the lessons this year and really improved my swing.

Still a 15-16 handicap. I am 6”4 and 240 lbs. Once I figured out proper swing mechanics and using my body instead of arms to swing, I have found my distances to really increase. They have increased to a point with the lower lofted g440s that my distances have become ridiculous. I am hitting 7-8 irons close to 200 and crushing my 9 and pitching wedge around 170-185. Ball bounces off really hot.

I have found it very difficult to get shorter shots dialed in with distance.

Is my handicap still too high to make the switch to a players set with traditional lofts or should I break up my set and go half players iron and half game improvement or just switch over completely.
