Bridgestone J36 Combo Irons

Anyone else gaming these? I love my Hogans and they are still in pristine shape but was fitted for a Project X 6.0 Flighted shaft. I looked into getting new shafts but as we all know the cost to do this is outrageous. So I decided to see if I could find a set of irons. Came down to the Callaway X-Forged and the Bridgestone J36 Combos. Found a guy selling a set of the Bridgestones. He said they had 10 rounds in them but you could fool me as they look brand new. He had the receipt for them from a local shop he and I verified they were legit. Cost for the new set of irons was $125 less than reshafting my Hogans. Excited to play them.

I just got a set and I've taken them to the range a few times and played one round with them. So far I absolutely love them. Supposedly the metal used is softer than what Mizuno forges their clubs with, but I'm no metallurgist. I also have the 6.0 flighted shafts in them, and I like how they feel light and crisp. I think I'm going to play these irons in to the ground.

wow they sound nice.. my next big golf purchase will be irons and ive got my eyes on mizuno forged and bridgestone.  Only problem is that its kind of hard to find some to hit first to see which ones i would want the most...

I got really lucky with these. I went in to my local shop (Pro Golf Discount) and saw these clubs over a year ago, and fell in love with them, and they were around $650 when I first saw them, and over time they have just been chipping away at the price, and eventually I was in there returning a wedge, and found them marked down to $350 and I had to have them. I've found sets in excellent condition on ebay for around the same price, too. Not a lot of retailers carry bridgestone equipment, but I'm assuming it is easier to find in the NW, due to proximity to Japan, and also that Fred Couples comes from this area, and he's rocking the b-stone gear.

Thanks for the reports guys. I am lucky to have a local retailer who carried these so I have hit them a few times and really like the feel of the club and ball flight I get. i paid under $200 for the set...so if they do not work out I can probably move them for more than I paid but my plan is to have them for a long time.

That's a damn good deal.

Just got the irons...in even better shape that I had planned . Heading to the range here in the next few days. Going to put the new Golf Pride VDR grips on before spring.
