you can also get a progressive set of cavity backs for the higher irons using the Snakeyes 600c. I've got a set of 600c from 3 to 6 and Blades from 7 to GW. I got them two years ago and paid full price. There is a new model now so there going for less than 300 for a set. Also you get to customize your shafts to what ever you like. I got a local clubmaker to put the set together for me for $10 a club. Its an option if you want top end stuff but dont want to pay OEM costs.

Mizuno is a very good choice, I would recomend you try the mx 25 I know there not the player iron so to speak but I upgraded my old 990's to the mx 25 after much deliberation and once I got used to them being just a little bigger with a little bit of offset I was very happy with them you can still work the ball and you get alot of feed back on miss hits just like the player iron but there so much easier to hit IMOP maybe not the road you want to go down but you should give them a try.

I just got my Titleist 690 CB off of eaby today. Went to the range and fell in love. $174 shipped. They were closer to 7.5/10 than the 8.5/10 as advertised so I am going to keep an eye out and buy another set in better condition so when these are gone I will have another set ready.

Finding the right irons isn't always easy. The set that I've long wanted didn't even exist in the major OEM world. Or in the component world, either. I had to have it ground to order from raw forgings.

My irons have no stamping whatsoever except the club numbers on the sole and "Forged USA" on the hosel. If you know exactly what you want, this is the way to go.

But if you're asking advice on a message board, you haven't focused in on your ideal irons yet. It takes time.

If you're considering a secondhand set, you can probably find a set of Ben Hogan forged irons at a good price. There are a lot of muscle or cavity back models to choose from.

How do you post your equipment on your signature there?

I assume that you meant how to post your equipment here at TheSandTrap.

In the upper lefthand portion of the screen is "User CP" (as in control panel). Click on that and you'll see an 'edit signature' option on the left side of the new page. dave

But this is an golfing internet discussion board - being responsible has no relevance here

this is so frustrating...im starting to look at the ap2's and the mp 62's but i change my mind so much that commiting to a cartain model of irons is alot to ask of me. I feel like a club ho' except for the fact that im not an impulse buyer.

I hit the Titleist AP2's at Golfsmith on Monday along with a bunch of other clubs including the TM R7 TP... I ended up ordering the AP2's... they felt better than anything else I tried. It's not a true blade, but it has a nice look at address, and just seemed to be the smoothest of any that I tested. Better even than any of the true game improvement clubs. I haven't owned forged clubs since my first real set, Golden Rams that I bought back in '74. I am lucky enough to get a good discount through the pro shop where I work part time, so the price became quite affordable... about $400 off the Golfsmith price.

Hopefully that good feel will carry over onto the course....

With that kind of discount I'm sure they'll feel just right on the range the course or wherever you decide to hit a golf ball.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
