Ping I15s or Titleist AP1s

If I had his game......my top three choices would be the Mizuno MP 57 and these.

Kleraudio,

Time for golf mainly depends on you personal life schedule. If you found a "practice shed" in Colorado where you could hit balls every few days, maybe bounce down to Florida at Christmas, AND could play regularly during sunny weather, you might opt for more challenging clubs.

But, if you play 5 times in 14 days, and don't get to do it again for six weeks, it would be more difficult to keep your swing tuned.

And, if I ever find my "repeating swing" and get down to a single-digit handicap, I'll get back to you on this.

Nice post! So are you saying that if you live in a climate where there is a cold winter, where you can only play 7-8 months a year that you should get GI irons because you wont be able to play or practice for 4 months outta the year??

I live in the Denver Metro area, you will be able to play most of the year a bit chilly at times but not that much snow on the ground for long. I would also suggest Mizuno's great clubs

Exactly what I wanted to hear! I thought that I would be snowed out of golf like I was in Chicago for like 5 months, Im glad that Denver is "golfable" pretty much year round!

Makes my decision soooo much easier to relocate! I knew I would miss my year round golf. My wife keeps telling me moving isnt only about golf .... She doesn't know any better You think the MP 57's would be alright then if I can continue to work on my swing even in the winter, with an 18 cap, not sure if these irons are too much for my game right now, but I want em soo bad!! Thanks man!

Take some time to try different shafts too - I moved from Titleist 690 CB's with DGTTS300 shafts to Titleist AP2's with ProjectX 5.5's and hated them.

Just had the ProjectX's pulled and S300's put in and makes amazing difference to distance, dispersion and shape.

Always thought about the shafts in driver and 3 wood - never irons.

Lesson learnt.

Go to your local Mizuno dealer and get him to fit you.....borrow the 7 iron or 6 iron, whichever they have in you specs and take to the course. Substitue it in for your own when you have the shot and then work with it on the range some and see.

I can understand your desire to game this club. There is something about them that grabs you. I felt like Golem when he found the Ring....."My precious". I tried one out for a round and range session. My passion faded as I accepted the realization that I wasn't ready yet.......yet. There is hope in the future...but not this year or next.

Ping S57, S58, or S59. They are cast irons, but they are a players iron. You can shape shots and get some great forgiveness. Worth a look.

My vote would be Ping i15's

This years i's have reviews of being a LOT more workable than past i's.

They will give you the forgiveness BUT be VERY VERY workable...
