Hi all,

That time of the year again, and I'll go straight to the point: have tried neither and doubt that I'll get the chance to do so. I currently play the some 15 year old Titleist 990Bs, which I like but do not love; I guess I'm after improved feel. I did demo 710MBs and -CBs, The Nike blades (whatever they're nowadays), Wilson FG62s, Taylor Made TP MBs, Mizuno MP-68s. Also, have tried the MP-67s. The bottom line is, I felt I hit the 710s and Taylor Mades the best, was able to shape shots with both, and had no problems with the longer irons. Wilson FGs launched (with S300s) launched a bit too high, to my liking, Mizuno MP-67s were a slight disappointment, although I hit them a while back: felt I lost some distance. The 68s, however, performed alright, no particular concerns but also not the absolute favourites either. The Nikes, similarly, were alright.

So, which one do you think would better suit me? Are the short irons of ZBs at all comparable to 710 MBs? How will the MP-37s compare to 67s and 68s?

Obliged,

aleski

My Aerolite bag contains:

VR Tour Driver Project X 5.5
904F 17* 4-wood Sabre Stiff
MP68 3-PW Project X 6.0
52* Vokey Spin Milled -wedge

Redwood ZB

I prefer a ball, but may occasionally hit almost anything.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
