What Are Your Thoughts - have u gamed these?

[enis750]

ok...not looking for opinions on which iron will suit ME..but what YOU thought of the following irons, after gaming them
just like a mini review of the one(s) you played
I currently have MP-57's, but sold them....didn't like how much offset they had - just couldnt get used to it
looking for a players iron or blade style, with minimal offset in them

Titleist 695.MB Forged
Titleist ZB Forged
Nike VR TW Blades
Nike Pro Forged Combos

I have only used the Pro Forged combos and LOVED them.....kinda leaning towards them, but they are getting dated
Also like the idea of a blended set, like the ZB's or the PFC's

I want a forged iron for sure, as i DID like this in the Mizzy's...just not the offset in them
also something i just didnt like about the Mizunos....cant say what.......anyways....

thx for your help

Played all the clubs.
Vr tw blades are by far the softer of the clubs and promoted a much better flat boring ball flight for me.

I currently have the ZB forged and will not get rid of them until the are worn out. Love the blended set. It is a seamless transition from club to club. It has been two years since I got them, but I tested them against every players iron I could get my hands on. Originally, they were not even on my short list of what I wanted to get. After hitting them a few times, they moved to the top of the list without much competition.

i hit these last week at Golf Town and they were great

but they are still asking $800 for them can get em on eby for around $400-450 or so in good shape i have actually hit them all BUT the TW Blades.....

Update:

Hit the following today:

Titleist 710.CB
Adams Pro Black.MB
Titleist ZB Forged
Nike TW Blades

hated the adams....I think a good part of it was the shaft though, they had KBS's in them
Titleist ZB Forged....was carrying almost 12-15 yds shorter w them, relativley compared
Nike TW Blades...were awesome, not too small at all (as some pinted out), great buttery forged feel and longest of the 4
Titleist 710.CB's...wicked consistent w these and just as long as the TW Blades, soft as he*l - BUT NO WAY can I afford the sticker price @ $1049! whoa dude!

glad i hit these again today

I have a faster clubhead speed than i thought, after sitting all winter too....88-91mph w a 7i....? is this good?
machine said i carried the ball on average 188....but a 7i for me (last year) was pretty consistent at 170-175

decisions, decisions.......

I'm a little surprised you didn't like the MP 57's, they don't have much offset at all. Anyway, I would go with the Nike Pro Combo. Don't shy away just because they are old.

if you compare the offset in them, to the above mentioned clubs...it a tonne different

I noticed them right away too, when side by side to me Nike's got rid of them today and now looking seriously, now that I have cash (which is burning a serious hole in my pocket :) ) always liked Nike clubs..... PFC's or TW Blades now??? hmmm....

Update:

Tiger has a swing speed in the high 80's with a 8 iron.

I'd say he'd be low 90's with a 7 iron. You sure that monitor thingy was right because he hits the ball pretty hard.

yeah who knows if its accurate or not

like i said it was saying i was carrying a 7i like 188-191....ooookkkk i usually carry a 7i about 170-175 so im sure the swing analyzer is out...im certainly no Tiger

I played the Forged Pro Combos for about 6 months. The biggest issue for me was the size of the soles. They did have a bigger sweet spot than the TW Blades (obviously), but I liked the blades 1000 times better. The MP's are also a top favorite of mine. When it comes down to it, ask yourself these questions: which club gives you the most pleasure and which club do you have the hardest time putting down?

Good luck!

which blades do you play?

the new VR's or the older sweet plain Blades?

[Gilly]

which blades do you play?

I play the older Forged Blades. My dad plays the new TW blades so I've snagged them for a couple rounds.

sweet

which ones could i not put down hey?? hmm...... the ones i cant afford!! haha! found a good deal on some 695.MB's on WRX too hmmm....damn i hate this

[Gebus]

I know I am adding a set that isn't on the list but have you tried AP2s, they aren't blades but they definitely aren't shovels. I tried the 710 MBs and the 710 CBs and though they are a little softer I really didn't feel that much of a difference and the AP2s are a lot more forgiving on an off center hit.

i tired them last year when i bought my MP-57's..wasnt a fan of them

they look and felt chunky to me man....i just dunno what to do i dont want to switch or game more than one set this year...so i need to make a good choice

[enis750]

let's throw these in the mix - Nike CCi Forged
found a great deal on them under $300 brand new w 5.5 Rifle Shafts

hmm.....

review on the Sandtrap looks greak, but i cant actually try them out

anyone out there have experience w them?

EDIT: I bought the Nike CCi Forged's...like 2 mins ago.

I was going to buy these last year when i bought the PFC
nothing but good reviews about them and from guys coming off the PFC's, liking these MORE
and if there are good enough for stewark cink, then i guess they are good enough for me

got them on ebay from the same guy i bought my PFC from
$299 USD, w Rifle 5.5, BRAND NEW still in the box
when i went to the Royal Precision site, these were the shafts reccomended too
i watched 3 sets of great clubs pass me by, so I had to jump on these - price is good too if i dont like em, as they still sell for around this used

thanks for everyones help!!
will report back after i hit them (when the damn snow is gone!! haha!)

PS - anyone lookin for a Mizuno Aerolite III bag...mine will be for sale!!! hha!

[Gilly]

Nice! The CCi's are a great club too. I actually liked them better than the pro combo's. I look forward to hearing the verdict on the new sticks.

[Harp]

i was just reading through the first page and was going to recommend the CCi forged. they often get overlooked in the nike line up, but are awesome clubs. i was previously playing the forged pro combos, and was planning on getting the vr blades, but after hitting the ccis i was sold. they are just as soft, very easy on the eyes, have excellent control, and a bit more forgiving. my ability to work the ball has improved dramatically since ditching the pro combos.

i thought i got an awesome deal, but you win. i got a lightly used set 3-PW plus a cleveland cg12 gap wedge with stiff tt dynamic gold and golf pride new decade multi compound cord for 185 bucks shipped.
