It depends on what you are currently using. Replacing your long irons with hybrids is a good move for most casual golfers. Most of the major manufacturers started doing hybrid sets back in the late 90s or 2000s.

I carry a hybrid 3 iron and the rest of mine are regular cavity backs but I usually shoot in the low 80s, high 70s if I practice. If you are a 90s golfer or higher I would go with hybrids for the 3, 4 and 5 iron.

Graphite shafts are better for slower swing speeds, steel is still fine for higher swing speeds. I use steel in my irons and extra stiff graphite in my woods.

I would NOT go buy the latest thing off the rack. There is no difference between clubs made in this year and clubs made in the last 5-7 years. What I would do if I were you is buy a decent set of used 3-5 year old clubs, you'll get the same benefit at a fraction of the price. Have them regripped and you're ready to go.
