OK, I stand corrected.
I think the point is still valid though. I play MP-32's and love them, but I know they are really too much club for me, I only have them due to my stupid ego and lust. I think unless you are able to practice/play at least 3-4 times a week you probably aren't getting any benefit from blades or something like the Titleist CB, and really should be looking at the AP2's or MP-58/53.
I've had a hit a the AP2's not long ago and really liked them, very forgiving and a nice solid feel. They don't have nearly as much feedback as my 32's though. I didn't really think much of the MP-58's, they just didn't feel like Mizuno irons. The MP-53's are back to the great butter soft Mizzy feel though, and are pretty damn forgiving. I reckon a combo set of the 53's and 63's would be mint.

I didn't think the 58's had the normal mizuno feel. Still soft but not the mizuno feel.

i agree and alot of people who have hit the 58's say the same thing. Its because of that titanium insert or whatever it is behind the hitting area

I just bought my mp53 over ap2 after hitting them both for about 3weeks. Mp 53 was easier to hit and felt better but what do I know... Both are great irons. Just try them both

They are all top quality. I had the MP 60s but didn't work for me. They felt great on sweet ones but the misses didn't go anywhere. Great feel doesn't equal great scores. The new CBs are mean looking. Since your buying new, i'd just make sure to get fit and ones you love.

All forged clubs are the same assuming they use the same metal 1025 etc... Mizuno on the other hand uses a computer frequency to harness the sweet spot on each iron head based on sound and frequency as I stated. This to me seperates them. I like the design of the Titleist mb better though fatter head.

There not really the same, depending if there muscle back, or some have cavity back, or some like Mizuno add a different density metal to achieve feel and stability. Some have more offset, or larger soles, or maybe larger clubheads. The metal might be the same, but how they are built effects them greatly.

Out of all the brands, i think Mizuno does put more detail into there forged irons. Titleist makes a good forged as well. The reason i like these two, because they specifically work on how the ball sounds off the clubface. Like smell is to tasting, hearing is to feel on a golf club. You can tell a ton about were you hit the golf ball by how it sounds.

Personal preference, i think Mizuno's just feel better to me.

But that's all that matters at the end of the day, personal preference.

    • Day 4- Slow, short swings with short practice club. 
    • Day 119: 4/24/24 Chipping and pitching followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.
    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
    • Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
