Your prayers are answered. Check out these

http://www.golfsmith.com/products/SE...ged_Iron_Heads

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.

Driver - Taylormade R9
3 Wood - Titlelist 909F2 15.5 degrees

2H - Nickent

4H - Taylormade
Irons - Mizuno MP-63 5-PW
Wedges - Titlelist 52 and 60 and Cleveland CG-15 56
Putter - Scotty Cameron Stainless Steel NewportBall - Pro V or V1

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.

Mizuno mp 630 9.5 Mitsubishi Fubuki stiff
Taylormade R7 RE*AX 55g Stiff
Taylomade Rescue mid 19* Light metals 95g
Mizuno MX25 4 -52*Gap True Temper Dynalite S/L
Mizuno MP-T 56* / 60*Odyssey White Hot Tour # 1

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.

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.

      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…

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

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
