Ping S59 vs Titleist 735CM vs Mizuno MP30

[jpalermo]

Ok, so I am thinking about getting rid of my DCI 762's after 8 years. I am a solid ball striker, low ball flight.... Not much of a shot shaper, can hit the draw or fade but prefer to just change the height as needed. Looking for a good set of irons to replace the 762's and these are my narrowed choices.


Ping S59- Cast, minimal offset, ping fitting says im a blue dot... paid to have it done and they said im a standard/standard
735cm- Forged, minimal offset, cavity to muscle
mp 30- cut muscle, great reputation

Have dg300's in the 762's. Curious about the project x's.

Feedback would be appreciated.

I can't account for the S59's or the mp30s, but I can say that I was very impressed with the 735cms. They are a bit heavier than the 755s and 775s, but the feel when striking the ball is almost identical. I figured I'd give them a shot (for $150 shipped, why not?) although I was really looking for a set of Mizunos or more recent Titleist clubs. Ended up being so happy with them that I kept them. I love having the split set.

I guess my real concern would be to go with the 1 degree upright or not. Been playing standard clubs so long and being fit once having the result be standard. Ping fitting says 1up / standard length. Should I try the upright in the Titleists?

the 1 up would be a good thing if you are tall. Otherwise, if you want all blades, go with the mp30, if you want a blended set, go with the Titleist. I believe Mizuno also does blended sets but you have to custom order them and they get pricey.

I'm not a ping fan, but some people like them. If you buy them you will likely loose some feel.

Agreed. My friends father (also a single-digit handicapper) bought a set of either S59s or S57s this year and wasn't very impressed with them. Also, they have a dampener in the cavity if memory serves me correctly.

the s59's are on the bottom of the list of the three. Mizuno or Titleist? Such a tough decision......

I know I'm a little late here but I can speak from experience with the 735CM's... Bought a used set about a year ago at a golf shop... I have played a few rounds with them and they feel really solid... IMO Pings are great clubs, I can't argue with the science and engineering that goes into the design of those clubs, they just feel a little bit hard to me at impact... Mizuno makes great clubs, the opposite of Pings, soft feel from the forging process... If you needed to get Titleists or Mizunos adjusted you could have them bent by a clubfitter if it's only a degree or two... Good luck with whatever you go with and hit 'em straight!

[jpalermo]

you still have the 735's? willing to sell? I think im going to go with the 735's..... or keep the 762's till I find something that knocks my socks off.

Scratch that..... Just won a set of MP 60's on ebay...... SCORE!!!!!!
