If you want to do 'NG' style SA then I think the IMA tapes are useful. As someone else here said, the IMA drills will make you a better Natural Golfer.

HSS is VERY different and not applicable to either NG or IMA.

You can use the NG clubs for IMA. HSS does not require a palm grip but it doesn't exclude it so you could possibly use them there. When I was using HSS I had regular grips and a regular finger grip but rotated as recommended.

IMA allows (but does not require) a longer backswing. IMA does not recommend as wide a stance. IMA does not require that you stand as far from the ball. IMA does not require clubhead setup a distance behind the ball. IMA is specific about the left hand grip. IMA is Specific about release and follow through. The IMA learning process is different. The IMA philosophy (impact backwards/anatomical certainty) is different.

They are oversized and tapered.

Although opinions vary, I believe you can use any clubs for any NG, IMA or HSS. There is no a piori 'magic' in SA branded clubs.
