The # 21 as a handicap doesn't accurately reflect how well someone hits the irons. They could have a driver problem, a chipping problem, putting problem, poor course management, etc.

I played R7 irons for about 2 years and recently switched to MP-57 irons. Sure, they're harder to hit, but hit right, they're more accurate - and the feedback is helping me hit them better. Even if you have to grow into the clubs a little more than you hoped, they're still a good set and you'll more than likely end up OK.

Hey there, first time posting a thread so go easy on me :)

I've been playing with MP-57s since October and think they are fantastic. I was playing with graphite Callaway Fusions before that and wanted something a little sleeker. The 57s are definitely responsive, and easy to hit. I shied away from them for a while on the theory that I shouldn't hit a player's club until I dropped to single digits, but they certainly haven't hurt my scores -- if anything, I'm a better ballstriker since I got them.

In my C-130 Cart Bag:

Irons 4-PW MP-57 Project X 6.0, MP-29 PW

Wedges  Eidolon 52°, 60° Rifle Spinner 6.5

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
