I think you could even be more specific on the differences ... Players irons hurt you the most on toe hits. If your misses tend towards the heel you probably would see little change between the types of irons. If you're like me, however, and your misses are toe-ward I would highly recommend against any players type irons. Shameless plug: my i20's (and the new callaway x hots - more on that later) are both really good in that aspect.

I bought a 5-PW set of MP-69s 6 months ago. Love them. They feel better than my Titleist MB-710's. A center face strike is really amazing. I have been hitting a little closer to the heel (lately, clearing my hips too early) but still getting almost the same distance---but the feel and sound is slightly less satisfying. I just bought an individual MP-64 7 iron=---the 7 is my favorite club in the bag right now.   Looking forward to striking it. Then I can use my MP-69 7 iron for the driving range---those Top flights and other rock hard range balls are knicking up the forged club face pretty good.  Hit some center strikes today with the MP-69 7 iron (and only 1 solid strike with the  tiny face of the MP-69 5 iron) that were amazing.  To really experience the "buttery" feel you do have to strike the ball in the center of the clubface. This is hard to do with a tiny blade iron like the MP-69. I'm hoping the 64 will be slightly easier. I occasionally hit my cast Ping I-10's but there's just something about that cavity (cast instead of forged)  feel that I'm not crazy about anymore. I don't even care for my Vokey wedges anymore because cast seems muffled and dead compared to forged. But I did play with a guy today who was a good player and he was having an easier time with his cavity back Nike irons---or so it seemed. Yes, he really was a good player in spite of his Nike irons.

Well it must be starting to come around for me. Went and had a hit the last couple of days and my irons are going pretty wel even if I say so myself.. Now I haven't changed my swing style or anything like that but I've slowed down a bit and haven't screwed around with10 practice swings before each shot. I have tried to concentrate more as I make contact and have made myself relax. Sunday is afternoon scrounges so I hope it flows to this as well. Just happy as. My handicap is still 31 so I hope this will drop as I crank up again this year .

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
