I currently play Ben Hogan Edge CFT Irons and am looking to upgrade.  The two sets of irons i have hit that have felt good are Mizuno MP-63's and Titleist ap2's.  I am currently an 11 handicap and play on a Donal Ross golf course every day. I have a medium ball flight and am not a super consistent stricker.  I don't know if these irons would be a good choice for my game.  I plan to work and improve.  Thanks

Mizuno bills the MP-63 as a "player's cavity" and suggests this model for golfers with +4 to 10 HDCP.

Latest AP2 has a "dual cavity" head design.

Suggest you go onto the webs for each company, and read the design talk. Also, make sure you get the proper shaft for your swing. Mizuno has the shaft optimizer which other golfers say narrows you down to a "short list" of possibles.

From your post, it looks like you want to "get it done" this next season. For the money you would pay for either, especially an AP2, you might consider a full fitting.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
