blended iron sets

[greenail]

Ok, so I needed to make the jump to stiff shafts and instead of reshafting my cg4 tours I started looking on ebay for some MP-60 with project x 5.5's in 'em. I found and won a set but they are blended, 3-6i MX-23 and 7-PW MP-60. I hit them for the first time on the range last night and when going between the two types, the MX-23's seemed to be going right. The MX-23 has what seems to me to be a HUGE sole, and I'm not sure if that is what is throwing me off.

Can anyone offer their experience playing with a blended set? Is there any adjustment you consciously need to make transitioning?

P.S. Please don't speculate unless you are a club fitter, or have played a few rounds with a blended set. Guessing is fun, but your guess is as good as mine.

P.P.S. Those MP-60 feel butter sweet, and my shot dispersion was way down.

Well after 3 rounds I am not having any distance issues, or swing weight issues, Love the MP60 but having some more room for error on the long irons is nice.

I have demoed a set of blended Titleist 695's (7-Pw 695mb, 3-6 695cb) and noticed large distance dispersion between the 7 and 6 irons, which caused me to not buy them. If you aren't seeing any distance dispersion and only accuracy, i would say just stick with them, and maybe get the loft/lie angles checked.

I've noticed the same thing about some blended sets so I use the KZG Evolution irons because the progression and design is much smoother going from the long irons to the short irons. Each iron is 10% different from each adjoining iron. Most manufacturers only vary their blended sets by only 3 club increments.
