If you like the i3's you should add the i20's to your list to try out.

A fitting is always good.

As a hdc 4 you should benefit a players club.

I just really love my Mizuno's MP59

I bought them just before the MP 64 came out

Think i would have them in the bag if that was an option.

I went true these clubs in my fitting:

1. Cobra AMP Forged

2. Callaway X Hot

3. Mizuno JPX 825 Pro

4. Titleist AP 2

5. Mizuno MP 59

Never been a huge fan off ping irons, i just can't seem to like that weird gap in the hosel.

Was fitted in KBS Tour stiff shafts.

Ended up liking the MP 59 most. It's that special soft Mizuno feel and classic shapes

what made me go with my MP59.

There still is a little forgiveness in them what is nice.

Check them out

Dirver: Mizuno JPX 825 9,5 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 65 g.
3 wood: Mizuno JPX 825 14 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 75 g.
Hybrid: Mizuno JPX 825 18 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 85 g. 
Irons: Mizuno MP 59 3 / PW KBS Tour stiff shaft ( Golf Pride Niion )
Wedges: Taylormade ATV Wedges 52 and 58 ( Golf Pride Niion )
putter: Taylormade ghost series 770 35 inch ( Super Stroke slim 3.0 )

I am. He uses Nike VR Pro Blades. I put those on the list, didn't I?

All and all, I'm looking to get a new set of either a better club, or the same heads, just brand new.

I've talked with people who've told me most people find the irons they like and stick with them throughout their career. I know that to be true, however, I swung my friends Rocketbladez irons.. and wow. They were sweet. Popped off the head, really smooth through impact ... all and all really nice.

So this is with I come to you guys. I'm making a poll to find out what you guys, with experience with the clubs, what clubs are the best. I'm throwing in some Nike VR Pro Blades as well and others, as I had those on mind.

If it's not on the list, reply with your idea!

As long as it's Nike you cant go wrong, I looove my Nike blades LOL

I realize that spamming is against the rules and may result in my banning if I continue.

I feel that Cleveland makes excellent clubs. It seems that Cleveland doesn't have the following that Taylor ping or calloway have but I think the clubs are better. Everyone sleeps on Cleveland. I have been fit and played many other brands and can truly say that Cleveland irons particularly the ta7 tours have exceptional feel and accuracy.

I don't think there is a "best" these days. Most of the major brands do a decent job of producing quality product. The best club for an individual is one that fits his/her eye and swing.

I think Titleist may do the best job of covering game improvement through purist blade without overwhelming with choices. I think Callaway, Mizuno, and TM also do this except for the overwhemling choices part. PING is great but don't really have a traditional blade. The other major brands are equal in quality if one of there offerings suits your eye better.  The connoisseur/purist with a little thicker wallet might gravitate toward Miura or Scratch.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
