Idea Pro vs. MP 57

[RyanR]

Thinking about new irons. I like the Adams Idea Pro set along with the Mizuno MP 57s. I have hit the Adams a few times and it feels very nice, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with either or if you've compared the two. I'll definitely hit them both again before I buy anything, but I just wanted some other input.

Thanks!

The Adams Idea Pros are the ones to get. The blended set is the best way to go nowa days. Another consideration are the Cleveland Hi bore irons which are off the wall. They may be the most forgiving irons that we will ever see.

It depends on how much you like to work the ball with your long irons. You can shape it alot more with the MP-57's than the Idea Pros.

tough choice.
but i'd pick mp57 w/ project x over idea pro if i can hit them consistant enough
or idea pro 3/4 hybrid + mizuno 5 to pw

off topic
by the way, have you noticed the sole of your 50* vokey is a lot thinner than pw that comes with your iron set?
I just recently bought 50* vokey and that looks/feels kind of strange.

Choose what works for you but being a diehard Mizuno fan, MP57 is the clear choice.

My MP-57's are sweet. The 3-iron does look a little intimidating, but I had been using i3 oversized long irons for 6 years. I caught my first 3 iron off the tee in the sweet spot with the 57's and nothing in golf has ever felt better.

Thanks for the replies...Can anyone tell me how forgiving they think these clubs are compared to a regular cavity back since they're both trying to be a more forgiving players' iron? Thanks!

Keep the replies coming!

Get both!

Seriously, if you want the 3/4H, the Ideas will be more cost effective. I went with MP-57s and just got an Idea Pro 2H. Seems like I can hit the 3i ok with the NS Pro shafts, so I'm off the 3H bandwagon for now.

When I went club shopping last year I tried every iron brand out there and it fell between Idea Pro's and Mizuno MP57. They both had what I was looking for: soft feel, forgiveness (not like game improvement clubs), and forged. I went back and forth for nearly a month, did some research, asked tons of questions and finally decided on the Idea Pro's. What did it for me: I have a fairly low-ball flight and the Black Gold shafts would assist in getting the ball up faster, also the hybrids where the main reason. I thought about my game and usually the 3I and 4I are either for teeing on short par 4's or reaching the green on some par 5's or recovering from a junk drive. I don't use em for much other than those so I don't need a club that can work the ball as much. I wanted a club that will hit straight and long. Idea Pro's do just that. They are worth the cost just for those 2 clubs, imo.
The first day I used these clubs I shot a 76, and I attribute my 2007 Tournament League wins to these clubs. Ever since I've been breaking 80 more often than not. Of course, this is my view and experience. Try both out, don't rush it, you want to make the right decision and be happy about it.
Also, which ever you chose get them fitted.
