Looking at some new irons this year....wanna go forged.

I like the looks of the Bridgestone J36 pocket cavity set.

How do you think these lofts compare with my current set (they are standard lofts from factory...don't have a clue what they are, though).

I had been wanting to go forged for a while so I picked up a set of Nike pro combo irons. They felt nice but I just wasn't happy with them so I tried a set of Ping S59's (cast). These irons are far superior (they do feel firmer), great feedback and shotmaking ability. I think I will be keeping these for a while.
As for the lofts on those bridgestones they look pretty standard, can't comment on the offset because i'm used to seeing the measurement in inches! ( I have never heard a bad word said about bridgestone irons or balls)

The Bridge stones are great clubs..

I demoed them a bit before settling on Mizzys. Pretty sweet feel, will forgive, but can definetly still punish.

Loft wise, iirc, they are pretty on par...as in a max of one degree difference. so no relearning distances. The real kicker here is; what shafts? through all of my fittings, i found that the shafts made way way more of a difference than any head i could find.

oh, before you go into the Bridge stones, please, please, try a set of Mizzy Mp 60's, or the MP 30's. i own a set of 30's, and they are equally as good as the Bridgestones, if not better in my opinion.

I can only comment on the 3-4-5 Bridgestone J36 pocket cavity irons. The first thing that I noticed was the thicker top-line (relative to the CB and blades which are paper thin) which helps inspire confidence when standing over the ball looking at a 200+ yard shot. IMO they are very similar to MP52's (both in clubhead characteristics and playability) however they are little stronger and have less offset in the scoring irons.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your responses and information.

I was thinking the lofts looked a bit strong but now I see they aren't overly so.


The Mizzys have had me lusting for them for a while, but I have an opportunity to look around a bit and try a few different sticks.

I hit a friends J33 CB 5 iron the other day and was smitten with the feel of the thing.

One thing if for sure...providing I can hang on to my job , I'll be going forged this year. Who knows....I may even grow to like a hybrid or two in the set.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
