Ping Green Dot G10 with the steel shaft +1/4" length

Best thing I ever did was get fitted for these clubs.
My accuracy and distance is so much more consistent that I have a hard time believing it!

At the beginning of the season, I played the Northwestern Concorde irons, but they were a piece of you know what. I got these 8 years ago from my father for Christmas as a way to get me into golf. They were serviceable until I decided to get really serious, which was this summer. I ordered the Titleist AP1's and could not be happier. Best 700 dollars a spent.

i know this will sound so cliche and it's not because Tiger uses them, but I swear by Nike's. I have the pro combos now and will soon be upgraded to the Nike Forged blades. I know I know, what's a 15 hc doing with forged blades you ask? its my driving that costs me my strokes. haha.

Macgregor M565 forged. I played my best round ever and my worst round ever after getting them. I need to get back out there and redeem myself.

I just got the nike slingshot 4d irons easy to hit straight with high ball flight. I'm not trying to shap shots so these are perfect for me.

I've had my MP-37's for about 3 seasons now and they are the best forged blade I've ever played. They are relatively easy to work the ball and mishits are not as severe as some of the older forged blades. 25 years ago I had a set of MacGregor MT irons in Highschool that if you mishit them you would lose 20 yards,,,lol.


I bleed Mizuno Blue but I have to admit those new 2008 MacGregor MT Pro-M irons look mighty sweet! I'd love to demo them to see how they feel!

Which irons do you use? Pros and cons.

I have Mizuno's Mp 60 4-7 and Mp 32 8 & 9 with 5.0 PX shafts. I have disassembled them, weighed the heads so they are 6-8 gr apart and spined the shafts. I really like the way they hit now. Becuz Mizuno was so inflexable I'll never buy new Mizuno's again. Love the product, detest the customer service, but thats just me.

This is funny, I just searched an this will be my 3rd post.. shows how messed up I am!
So, let me combine all into this (unless ibuy new irons)
Ok, had 2 sets of irons when I started this season, R7XD's and Old Set of hogan Edge's to try out and mess around with. Then, I sold the Hogan's and rode the R7's till, I had a geniuos idea along with my other idea to re-do my swing, I traded R7's for some Mizzy MP-30's, which were great feel, but I couldn't hit em on the sweet spot very often and it totally ruined my scoring and my game... so I traded them, for the set I have now, which I've been able to hit and I like them alot ALOT, Callaway X-Forged w/ Project X 5.0 shafts. I like them alot!

Titleist 762's for me.

They provide the workability of blade but also with a touch of forgiveness.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
