Wanted to get some input on these irons:

Now yes, I know, a 25 handicapper by "industry" definition should be playing bigger cavity back clubs. I personally hate swinging big cavity backs (like swinging a marshmallow on the end of a stick). Was going to go pure blades, but started trying these type of clubs (tour cavity style) and found they fit the bill. Not too heavy in the club head, plenty of feel, and good feedback. I learned to work the ball from the start, so workability is also key.

It's either gonna be these clubs, some used hogans / mizunos, or new wilsons (meh... still not convinced on those Ci6s).

Opinions?

Don't really know too much about the clubs but I wouldn't let the blades scare you away just because you're a high handicapper. As with anything, what feels best to you is the right club. My only issue would be if you can actually try them out before you buy. Like at a range or something.

try them out. it's all on feeling man. i've been playing less than 2 years and I wish i got the mp67's instead of the 60's...don't get me wrong..love the 60's...but the 67's feel great. go wiht a club that feels good and 1 that you know you'll be satisfied with down the line until you're ready to make the next move

my cousin just started playing and he hits mp14's....

I built myself a set in the off-season and they are AWESOME. I love the way they feel and are VERY forgiving. They aren't TOO big, but are not blades that are hard to hit. I cannot afford the expensive clubs these days and fit the bill very well. I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone on this forum. I have 5-LW and am planning on building the 4 iron. Good Luck

Yeah, I'm playing the P2 right now and have generally been pleased with them. Great value clubs. Problems for me are that mine seemed to nick up easily, not enough to affect play but they quickly lost the unblemished look. By far the biggest drawback I have had with these are the wedges. 4i through PW I really like them, but I found the AW and SW played much differently. The bounce of the SW just never felt correct, the leading edge woud drag and bury rather than spring through the sand, and the AW looked different at address from the top than the rest of the set. Otherwise, they play pretty solid, with enough game improvement to help but still allows you to work the ball. I would suggest looking elsewhere for wedges though. Overall, great value for the price, but not a total solution for me.
