So Im looking at the specs of these 2 irons and the CCI's have much less offset than the MP57's......

Does less offset have anything to do with forgiveness? I dont think so but thought I'd ask.

Probably much easier to work the ball with the CCI with such little offset..

Thanks!

the cci's a very nice. Ive heard alot of good things about the MP-57s. Whatever you think is best for you. If you cant decide, like it was mentioned, which one is the better value in the end then.

thanks guys! Does anyone by chance know if there is weight in that insert in the CCI forged iron?

I know its made to dampen vibration but is there weight in it? If there is I would imagine its a bit more forgiving due to having some weight down at the bottom??

Went and hit em again and golfsmith and used mostly 3 irons and was striping them both... I was hoping I'd hit one badly and it would make my decision!! Oh well..... The misses feel similar and the sweet spots feel similar as well....

Im a little concerned about the sole of the cci, the 6 iron is much thinner than the 6 iron on the 57...... Im not much of a digger, more like a picker, but this is one thin sole...

Should picking an ideal set of irons really be this difficult??

Difficult?? Come on man, it's fun!!!

Look at it this way - you seem to have had a great experience hitting both irons, and it sounds like both will work well for you, so you should be able to rest easy knowing that you wont make a bad decision either way. Go to sleep, and the first one you think about when you wake up should be the one you choose!

If the Nikes are cheaper, they feel just as good as the Mizunos, look good to you, and don't require any customizing once you get them, then it sounds like you should get them.

In the blue Colts bag:

Hybrids - 4DX 15.5°, 20°
Irons/Wedges - CI-7 4-GW, SW | "Free" Warrior 60° LWPutter - TiffanyBalls - various

This would be the best deal for you: Save up some more money and get the new Mizuno m58. They are even better feeling than the 57's and the nike cci's. I think it would definitely be worth it to save up some more money and get the 58's. That's what I would do.

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
