There are some huge differences in the clubs you listed. Pretty hard to make a decision when the clubs are made for different people.

I'd get the X-20's for me though.

I'd say the i10's for me, they are made for mid-low handicap and have an amazing feel, they offer the cavity back forgiveness but still have a load of workability in them. They are a great looking iron if you want to improve your game.

The feel is indescribable.

Here are my thoughts and for the record I play the regular X-20s.

X-20 Tour - Great iron and almost went with them. I opted for the extra forgiveness of the regular model though. If I bought today though I would seriously look at these again.

Big Bertha - Never gave them a chance. To clunky looking to suite my eye.

Cobra S9 - Great club, but I had more success with the X-20

Ping i5 - Never was able to try them

Ping i10 - Fantastic club that felt amazing, but I tended to blade the ball a lot with these.

r7 - When I bought my clubs these were in the final grouping, but due to some quality control issues I had heard about I eliminated them. Great stick though.

I've owned the x-20 tours and sold them back after a season w/ them. They are good clubs no doubt, but there is nothing "Tour" about them. Club heads too big, too much of a dull feeling when hitting the ball. I could stripe them straight but that is all they would do. No that great out of the rough either. I'm not sure if the PW had too much loft but it was very short. I used to get between 140-145 w/ my previous clubs. x-20 tour PW was like 130 max.
I did have the Project X shafts 6.0, not sure if that was the reason. Rocco Mediate almost beat Tiger Woods with them, but he swings like my grandfather anway.


I traded for Mizuno MP-32, couldn't have been happier with my purchase. Distances were back in line, had the feel I was looking for.

yea i was looking at mizunos too i hear alot of good stuff about them not sure which one in the line would suit me best, and there are no stores around here that sell them for me to try out so id have to go off an average response from reviews

but out of that whole list i was looking at either the cobra s9 or the callaways the s9s have had pretty good reviews,

which of the mizuno line would you say would suit my mid/high handicap best? i shoot on average low 80s

If you are considering the MP57's and the MP32's you should probably scratch the x20's and look at the x-forged... they are far better clubs than the x20's but slightly less feel than the 57's... IMO

You don't like Titleist? With a handicap of 14.7, have you thought of Titleist AP1s or a superseded (great value) new set of Titleist 755s?

I love Mizuno, but their customer service is the WORST!!!!!!!!!! I'll buy used Mizuno from now on cuz I don't like dealing with those myoptic twits.

here is my problem with getting irons, most of the good stuff lie mizuno and titleist, theres no store around here that sells them so ive never seen them nor hit them before, only "decent" clubs i have ever hit on a course are r7 draw irons thats it

so just looking for opinions and stuff on clubs that are forgiving easy to hit i guess, not really looking for workability as i usually just hit the ball straight anywaylol so that doest matter

Being a high handycap golfer, and demoing a few different brands of GI irons, I'm still leaning toward the Big Bertha '08 irons. They are different looking for sure, (i-brids & very forgiving), but I think I could use them. If there are any other high handycap golfers out there playing these clubs, I'd be very interested in your observations and satisfaction/dissatisfaction.

i am a high handicap golfer and hit a few 6 irons last time I was at a big box store. I hit the calloway and the taylormade RGB. The taylormade was okay, after about 3 swings I was getting the feel of it, but the calloway from the first swing was perfect. It was so straight and had enough spin that when it hit the screen it came straight back at me. I am not in a position to buy a set, but they were great clubs and I am going to probably try to pick up a set during the off season.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I'm finding the Wilson Ci 7 irons real sweet to hit. Very forgiving.
