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:

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.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the responses, now Ive got this J36 combo stuck in my head. I can get them new pretty damn cheap!

Freefer, do they let you demo the whole set over there? Thats what I'd really like to do...

Thanks!

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
