As Brendy says recommendations are meaningless. Not one of the well known manufacturers and very very few of the smaller ones make anything other than really good irons these days.

they're nearly all made in the same factories with the same components. The only important thing is whether YOU like them and can hit them.

Get to a pro shop or range where you can hit balls properly and see the ball-flight. Avoid golf superstores where the goal of the staff is to sell you anything they fancy rather than what you need.

Even if this means taking your time and traveling it's worth it if you're going to spend 3-400 quid.

Also pick something that you'll be able to hit on your worst days, not your best :-)
