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.

    • Wordle 1,645 3/6* ⬛🟦⬛⬛🟦 🟦⬛⬛🟦⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 There is a group I know that posts their results on Facebook whenever they solve in 1 or 2 guesses. I asked one how they were so successful and evidently there is one type that provides word clues. Never seen it, but that could enhance your chances!
    • Day 445 - 2025-12-19 Hit some balls at AMGC today before getting on a flight and driving back to home through some not-so-awesome weather. The backswing is starting to feel pretty good. I have to clean up the knees a little.
    • Day 25: did my drill with foam balls in the garage for a good 20 minutes. Worked on my hands not being as deep. 
    • I unknowingly ordered what would sort of be considered a staff bag. It is the 14 divider version of the Titleist staff bag and was stated on the website to be a staff bag "light" (Titleist Tour Premium Cart Stadry), but it is pretty big. Love it though.
    • Day 39 (19 Dec 25) - weekly men’s group shootout today - we had as a “fifth” in our foursome the course teaching pro.  With the solid winds playing havoc, it was great having him to offer insight and counsel on what to take into to account. Mind you, he did not recommend specific club but rather to what consider and how to plan.  What a great day for course management education at the next level.
