Scratch SB-1, that will be my next set of irons. I've been happy with both my 695MB's and my ZM's but those SB-1's are great!

Lots of Titleist staff players are now playing the AP2, so I think they would be hard to pass up.

If you really want an old school blade look and feel I'd also look at some of the Mizunos (mp-32s) or Nike VRs.

The titleist zm are one of the best blades and you would have a hard time adjusting. But the macgregors pro m are amazing clubs I pretty sure they have the cupface so the ball travels around the same distance every time.

Macgregor MT-Pro M are awesome blades. I would highly reccomend you look at getting a set. I am seriously thinking about picking some up.

2nd this recommendation. A few weeks ago I gave these a whirl and was thoroughly impressed. Their MT line is far too often overlooked.

try the Nickent Arc Blades. ive hit them and they are THE most forgiving blades i have ever hit. they are using a new technology that gives them more forgivness and a larger sweet spot. i couldnt tell i was hitting blades when i used them. they are the best ones out right now imo.

Mizuno MP-67

I second the mizuno mp-67.

Oh yeah, I agree. SB-1s are so sweet and so customizable. If you are willing to shell out the cash, also give Miura a look. Their tournament blades are awesome. Mizuno blades (32s, 67s, 33s) are all amazing.

Just to say those pics dont work unless you are a member.

I too have been demo-ing blades over the past week. My personal favorite is the Nike Victory blades. Not as pretty as the Titleists, but I hit them better.

It's probable because I was hitting demo clubs with a standard lie, which since I need a 2 degree flat, I was hitting them more toward the toe according to the contact tape. I believe Nike puts more weight out toward the toe that Titleist does.

Driver: Nike Covert Driver

Irons: Mizuno JPX-825 Pro 5-GW

I have a couple friends who work at golf stores and all of them have been telling me that recently everyone who comes in wanting blades hit's Mizuno's, Titleist's, and every other blade in the store but 9 out of 10 walk out with the new Nike VR blades. I haven't hit them yet but I plan on it. I hear that there feel is simply amazing and Nike stepped up their game with these irons. I will give you my review of them after this weekend.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
