It is funny that you are battling this delima. I am also in the same position. I do not have hte budget for new irons, so I am looking at used, but newer than the Ping i3+ irons I am playing. I have hit the Mizuno MP-60, the Titleist 690 CB, the Callaway X tour, and I like them all. I have to say that based solely on feel, I like the Mizuno the best. The grain flow forged iron feels exccellent. I love the Titleist 690, which is an older club, but it feels great as well.

I have also tested the Taylormade R7 TP, the Titleist AP1 as well as the AP2. These clubs are out of my price range, so I gave up on them.

All in all, I think I have settled on the 690 CB. For the price and feel, I have not found any better. I am not giving up the Pings as I just cannot part with them. I still hit them OK, but I want to play a forged iron for a while.

Thanks for the post.

I have the Taylormade TAC TP/MB blades after trying out all of the blades over a 2 month period. The reason i chose the TaylorMade's over the others? Its because the $1000 cost dropped to less than $500 for a brand new set with my specs. Honestly, and i hope not too many people argue with me here, allot of blades are exactly the same in feel. I didnt feel that much of a difference between the blades which were Callaway, Cobra, Taylormade, Mizuno, and Titleist. I really didnt feel that much of a differnce.
