Just to delve into the abyss of banality, what do you think is the most beautiful iron ever made? You know--that sexy, pulchritudinous hunk of steel that makes your eyes dialate slightly and gets you making mental swings in your head, with visions of a buttery, well-struck 6-iron landing softly 4 feet from the cup?

For me, it's the Hogan Apex redline. I don't own a set, but I'd like to.

I thought the original hogan edge was just flat a handsome looking club. The way it looked just inspired confidence. A perfect example of form follows function.

Mine - the Mizuno MP60

Along the same lines - what's the most memorable iron shot you have? One time, I had 185 left to the center of the green. i was in the fairway, but the wrong side of a dogleg. There was a set of overhanging branches that i had to hit a sweeping hook around. Took a 4 iron, carved it around the tree beautifully, landed it on the surface and it released to within 2 feet of the cup. i'm sure that more experienced players have aces and hole outs that they can recall

Old School? I'd have to agree with the Hogan's.

New School? I love all of those shiny, silver clubs Mizuno puts out, that includes the MX900's.

Completely agree with Jeff. Those are beautiful...

I have to agree with Jeff also. I ended up with 695 CB's for the forgiveness but man would I love to own a set of those blades. They are gorgeous.

I'm in the same boat, I lust after the MB's but I play the CB's which are also beautiful, they just lack the smoothness of those gorgeous MB's

I'll have to say that Mizuno MP-60 is one of the most beautiful Irons I've set my eyes upon.
Too bad I probably don't play well enough use them yet...
But that's the club I really love to get my hands on when I play a bit better...
Until then I'll just drool at those pictures.....

As far as traditional blades, while I'm not a huge Titleist fan I really like the 695MB's but I give the nod to the Mizuno MP-32's

I also find a lot of game improvement irons sexy (like my Srixon I-506's) but I figure that could be another thread

I'm going to have to go with the current set I have: The Titleist 731PM's. Of course, they were only made for lefties since it was Phil Mickelson's set when he was still with Titleist; however, the whole set to just looks so clean. Before I messed up my elbow, I had some guy after a round of golf offer me 800 on the spot for my irons. I guess he knew that Titleist didn't make them anymore.
