Vr pro blades on the way

So, I posted a few days ago about wanting to change over to a players type of iron. I know my handicap says I'm not ready, but I'm confident in my ball striking with my irons.

I've been practicing with Mizuno Mp 68's to get the real feel of a good players club. What a difference it is! When these things are struck properly, you feel pretty amazing. The feel is so good when the ball is properly struck that you don't even have to look up to see where the ball goes, you just simply know..

After hitting the 68's, as well as a few other similar irons (Titleist 690 & 735, Mp60) and building some confidence I've decided to pull the trigger on a set of VR pro blades. They are a very attractive iron, and I hear allot of good things about them. Can't wait for them to arrive so I can get out to the range with these bad boys!!!

Wow. Good for you.

You will surely see how consistent you are in your ball striking.

Just out of curiousity, what made you go with the Nike's vr pro irons?

Was there anything specific?

Nothing too specific, I was trying to choose between a set of Titleist 710's, Mizuno Mp59's, Ping s56's and the VR pro's. The MP59's and the Pings were a little more expensive but If cost wasn't a factor I probably would have gone with the S56's. It sounds kind of silly but I am a pretty big TW fan and also been a happy buyer of all kinds of Nike products all my life. So when I found a brand new set of VR pro's on ebay for $400 I went for it and feel pretty good about my choice. If I can find a set of pre-owned silver dot S56's though for a good deal then I will probably buy those too. I'm becoming a total club *****..

How are you liking the new blades?

They're super sweet! The feel is amazing. After a couple of range sessions I noticed I was hitting with the toe down allot so I got them being fitted for my height and swing right now. Probably won't have them back until the weekend though

Very nice. I would have a set of vr blades as well if I thought I could hit them well, I will stick with the AP1's for a couple more years, at least. I will be looking forward to what you have to say about them after you get them back from your club maker.

Well, I just got back from playing a short course and swinging on the range. These irons feel great, the long irons are difficult to hit (duh!) but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I shot great on the short course, last 6 holes were par, birdie, par, par, birdie and a mishit flop resulted in a double bogey final. This is the first time I'v ever gotten backspin on green's, It really feel's great. These irons got me playing more aggressive shots at the pin and rewarding me when struck properly. Luvin it, once you go forged I can't see how you'd wanna go back.

You said it all right there......

I don't mean to bust your chops, but you'd be better served with a more forgiving iron.  There are pro's who even choose clubs with more forgiveness.  I don't think I'm good enough to benefit from blades and I'm a 1-2HC.

You make a good point, but I'm determined to play well with these stick's.

LOL....good luck!!  I will say this, I do love forged clubs.  I love the feedback and feel I get with a forged club...........but ones with more forgiveness.

ME NEEEDS CAVITY FORGIVENESS!!.....hehe

What I play......
