The new one they have out. I just so happened to notice ye olde local driving range had a new, never hit 6 iron with a DGS300 shaft in it..

SO I took it out to give it a proper break in. Thin but comfortable at address, nice, not incredible butter feel, excellent accuracy, the best way to describe them would be "pure" irons. No crazy side spin like w/ the G5s (Purchased at golf store, authentic), no clunky operation, nothing there that shouldn't be.

Distance was nice, not incredibly long but I did manage to muscle one up about 180 yds..then I hit the G5, promptly dropped it and went to hit my Hogan, which really will tell you how you hit it..

Forgiveness was very good, all I'd ever need. Heavier shots lost distance of course, thin ones didn't lose much but weren't pretty..all shots well in play..a very calm iron, it didn't get overly snappy when you hit it off the screws..on the screws, it feels very nice and flies mid trajectory, good distance, great accuracy.

Would I put them in the bag? Damn right.

Mizuno has some very nice things being said about them. For forged irons they are near the top. I got back into playing golf frequently last year and bought Ping i5s. When they were being sent back to adjust the lie I hit some Cobra SS forged. I bought them for $150. They are the clubs I use now. I am saving the Pings as a trade in for the new Vokeys in November. The Mizunos that most closely resembles the Cobras are the MP-57, forged cavity-backs. Recently at my local golf shop I hit some irons that I was curious about. I learned that I like my irons enough for now. The MP-60's had some good feel to them just into the net. These are between the 57 and 67. With the 62's being similar to the 60's, dual muscule vs cut, I wonder if time is limited for the 60's. The above post doesn't rave about feel, which is a priority to me. I haven't hit the 62's, but time may be limited for the 60's.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
