Mizuno MP-Fli Hi vs Game Improvement Irons

[trumpetgolf]

I've been doing a little research on maybe going to a mixed set. I love my short irons but have been somewhat inconsistent with the long irons. I've been having trouble making a decision on what to go with. I don't have a store close enough to try out many so I was hoping to draw on your experience. How do the Mizuno MP Fli Hi long iron replacements compare to long irons from game improvement sets? I was thinking about either getting the fli-hi's or long irons from an MX set.

I've yet to try the MX long irons. Prior to finding my current hybrids, I was using a FLI-HI 3-iron, which I loved. I still love.

As I may have said elsewhere, Brian Gay chose the MX 3,4 over the FLI HIs, and won two tournaments last year with those in his bag, one by 10 shots.

Also, a note of caution: not all the MX sets have a 3-iron. On the other hand, the MX-1000 have a 22° 4-iron, which isn't too far from your 3-iron (assuming standard lofts in your MP-57s).

The MP Fli-Hi are harder to hit well than an MX series long iron. Thats why they are MPs.

I just bought the MP Fli Hi 3i
Also have a mixed set, that I think is sweet

MP Fli Hi 3i
MP-57 4-7
MP-32 8-PW

yes they are all not "in the same family" but they will do the trick

the mp fli hi are made to be a more forgiving option than the current MP irons. i haven't hit them but i would expect them to compare to the MP-52 or somewhere between the 52 and MX-300 in terms of forgiveness.
i would go for MP 52 or MX 300 short irons, or perhaps even the MX-200 if you're looking for extra forgiveness. if i owned the MP-57 i would perhaps play the MP-52 or MX-300 3/4 iron depending on which one liked better.

I have played the MP Fli Hi 2 and 3 irons for the past 2-3 years and love them. I loved my MP 37 irons, but the 3 iron was impossible to hit and the 4 iron was inconsistent at best. I'm a 5 handicap and am now hitting MP 68 blades which I love, but I only got the 5-PW so I could keep hitting the Fli Hi 2 and 3 irons. Also got a MX 700 hybrid 17 deg which I love. If your playing game improvement irons you can use their 3-4 irons, but if your playing a blade the Fli His are much more forgiving in my opinion.
