Mixed Set Opinions

Hey all,

I went and hit a few Mizuno clubs this week and really like the feel of the new MP-59s. However I also hit the JPX-800 PROs and really liked their longer irons. I currently have a full 3-PW of MP62s and find the longer irons unreliable.

I was considering splitting a set of irons into JPX800PRO (3-4-5), MP59 (6-PW) or (3-4)/(5-PW).

My question is where do most people split sets? Is it more common to have 6-PW or 5-PW or even 7-PW. I realize it's personal preference, but out of interest I just wanted to see what people are doing.

You gotta hit em and see what works for you.  Use a launch monitor.  That said most people typically split the set at the 5 or 6 iron.  You may also want to test a hybrid or two and see if you hit them better than the 3 or 4 iron.

Longer irons will always be harder to hit, but mixing may help.  Many modern sets do mix/split it for you.

Personally, I prefer consistency through my irons, although my hybrid and hybrid woods are "split".

I'm really interested in the same type of set, I think you'd have to hit each to see what kind of yardage gap you have when splitting the set, and which of the mp59 you can still hit accurately

All bets are off... I hit some MP69s and LOVE them.... I think I will split the 59s/69s and go 3-5 / 4-pw

I don't see how having 69s at the top of the bag are going to make the 59's 3-5 iron easier to hit.  What you should do is go MP69s 6-PW and the do hybrids for 3-5. It would confuse the heck out of anyone who saw your bag.

LOL you are right that would really confuse someone. However when they realized that I can't hit those hybrids because I don't like the way they look then they won't be as confused. The MP59's 3-5 are easier to hit than the MP62's I currently have. I did notice that despite the stronger loft angles the JPX800Pro seemed to send the ball higher than I would like.
