new blades

[IcemanYVR]

If your Titleist 690's are wore out, and you were happy with them, why not just get another set.

You can usually find an almost new set on eBay for a decent price.

hey guys im in need of new irons.only blades though.wat are some good ones i like so many..i need help,my 690s are wore out

IMO, there are blades and there are players blades. IN my mind a players blade has a narrow sole and is more mid weighted. Where as a blade has a wider sole and bottom weighted.

Player blades--MacGregor 1025 V-foil or the 675's. Ben Hogan Apex, the new Nike V blades, Mizuno MP-67. I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind right now. Of those, I've been very happy with the MacGregor 1025 V-foils, but they don't put up with a lot of slop in the swing.

I would focus on some more forgiving, slight cavity clubs. Blades are fun to play with, but will benefit from a forgiving.

Look at the : AP2, R7 TP, and Mizuno 52 or 62

I strongly recommend the MP67's. As a 9 handicap I have no trouble hitting them solidly. I figure you should be able to pure them being a 5 and all. I got mine brand new for $500 about a year ago. They are forgiving and workable, and sexy as well. The Pro M's previously mentioned are also good. I got a demo 7 iron when Macgregor was giving them away and I would recommend them as well. The price is unbeatable, Mac cant even give them away.

Nike VRs...consider the source behind them :)

Just ordered my Nike VR Blades. Can't wait to hit them. I went to the Golfer's Warehouse and did an iron fitting. The Cleveland blades were really good also. Didn't care for the Taylormade ar Mizuno. Just a personal choice, not an indictment on their quality, I just didn't hit them as well as the Nike or Cleveland. It might be because I tend to hit it closer to the toe. Nike put more weight out there. I hope this doesn't kill me when I get the lie adjusted to 2 degrees flat. Should allow me to hit closer to the center.

Since I hit such a low ball, I ordered the high launch Rifle shafts.

good luck with your new blades!

Did you have a hard time hitting the long irons? I want blades, but am afraid that the long irons will kill me. Also how did the iron fitting go at golfers warehouse? I am thinking of getting mine done there.

good luck with your new blades!

You can always get a combo set if you want blades but would like a little extra forgiveness in the long irons. Companies like Mizuno allow you to order a set where you could have 3-6 iron in a MP-62, and the 7-PW in MP-67. Just something to consider.

My blades have not arrived yet. I have only hit the 6 iron. However, I did not order the 3 iron. My plan is to stick with my 5 wood then move to a hybrid later.

The iron fitting went well. My mistake when doing it was, they ask you what your goal is, more distance, accuracy... I chose accuracy. Mistake. Reason that was a mistake for me, is that I need my irons to be 2* flat. I am 5'5". Since theclubs I hit were standard, my draw was accentuated. No surprise. What I should have concentrated on was distance. They were all close as far as accuracy, however, not with distance. The fact that I drew the ball quite a bit, made my overall "score" go down. The fitter agreed that if my club had been flatter, I would not have drawn the ball so much and that would have yielded better results. I also noted that the distance indication consistently registered my shots ~10yards shorter than my range distances. And that's outdoors cold (37 degrees) vs indoors warm. The fitter corraborated my suspicion and said they see about a ~10 yard under-distance. Overall, I really enjoyed the process of the fitting. However, it is nerve-wracking to know that someone is "judging" your every swing. Since I hit them well, I guess it will hold up on the course. I did have a hard time going through my swing progression since I kept thinking about this guy watching me. My advice would be to ignore the fitter and concentrate on your swing. Who cares what he thinks?

Where did you get fit?

Didn't they have at least 1 iron that was 2* flat for you to use? When I was fit the fitter had every combination of iron available (at least for the 6 iron).

Congratulations on your new set... Good luck with them and let us know how they work out

[Norm3333]

Where did you get fit?

No they didn't. I wished they had though. I have to watch out for a "strong" draw when I hit standard lie clubs. Being short makes it difficult to demo clubs.
