Have you looked at the Macgregor pro c the one thing about them is you m may want to consider is a easier to hit 3, 4, maybe 5 because they have a very small clubface, but if there not a problem thats great. If you dont like the macgregors id go with the AP2's because the zb's are like the VR split cavity's. in the VR split cavity I could hit the blades more easily in the mid irons. Felt the same way with zb's and mb's.

I would go with the AP2s. I just think they are more unique than the ZBs. How much more workability would you need over the AP2s? Even though they are not a blade or as small as the ZBs, they can easily be worked and are played by guys on tour.

Plus, if you're going to go with a ZB style of club, I think you're better off with Mizuno.

I'd go with AP2's or MP62's based off of what you are looking at. Won't go wrong either way.

i would go with the ap2s. with my experience with them, i thought the felt just as good as (or better than) blades while also being more forgiving. they also allowed for enough workability.

the only thing i like more about blades (or in this case the blended set) is that they look nicer. i really appreciate the look of a classic iron. but i also agree with the poster that said the mid irons in the zb's looked ugly, so i guess i would be impartial to either.

ap2s will cost you about an extra 100-200, but if money isnt an issue i would go for it

They're getting a little harder to find, but I just put a new set of 695cb's in the bag. I absolutely love them. Forged, extremely easy to work, a bit of a cavity, and drop dead gorgeous. They're also running about $200 less than the AP's and Z's right now.

FWIW, Zack Johnson was playing them when he won the Masters.

If you can drag yourself away from Titleist, demo some Ping S59, 58 or 57's. They are very workable and forgiving, obviously have a firmer feel to the forged irons already suggested. Or try the Nike VR split cavities.

Take a look at the MacGregor MT Pro forged irons. You can get the Pro-M (muscleback) or Pro-C (Cavity) version, and you can even mix and match with the two as I did. They also come in a chrome finish or a sweet gunmetal. http://www.macgregorgolf.com/irons.asp I have the 3-PW set with 3-6 irons in cavity back and the 7-PW in the muscleback. They are as soft and workable as any iron I've ever had, and they are quite a bit cheaper to get than the Mizuno or Titleist. Just search for them on eBay. I got my set brand new for $250, and then had them altered and reshafted for $400, and they still came in way cheaper than the other irons I was looking at. Also, if you custom order from MacGregor, their custom shop is the best in the business. Happy Shopping! P.S. if you like the AP2s, look at the new Taylor Made Tour Preferred irons. My choice came down to the Macs or those, but the Macs were way cheaper.

    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
    • At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
    • That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.
    • I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.
    • True, but as 15 year olds go, he has a much better chance of getting there than any of the rest of them. Kid can flat out play. He almost Monday'd into a PGA tour event a few weeks ago too. Missed in a playoff.
