I am in the market for a new set of irons and I have looked at the Taylor Made R7 TP's, Mizuno; MP 60's, MP 32's, Callaway; X-forged, X-20 Tour and the Titleist 755's.

I'm looking for experienced advise and/or any suggestions?

My vote would be for the MP60's but according to what's in your bag currently, you've already made your decision...

I still have time to change my mind... That's why I asked.

Why the 60's? Should I expect them to be harder to hit than the R7 TP's?

The 60's are fantastic clubs. Easier to hit than 33's, 37's, etc.
As strange as it may sound, go find the new Adams Idea Pro irons. I went to my local range, and a sales guy suggested I try them out. I was suprised at how soft they felt, and how easy it was to work the ball. Plus, if I remember correctly, they have True Temper's new 'Black Gold' (or something like that) shaft, which is great (its TT's version of the rifle).

Clubs
Titleist 983E 9.5 degrees (stiff Fujikura 757)
Titleist 904F 13.0 degrees (stiff Graffaloy Blue)
Callaway Big Bertha 5 wood (steel)

MP-60's are easily the best feeling of the irons you list, but also the least foregiving (with the exception of the 32's).

I am also in the market, and am stuck between the MP-60's (with a possible substitue MX-25 long irons) or the 755's. The TM's and Calley's are just too busy looking.

I am in the market for new clubs too. I'm looking at either the X-20's or 06 Big Bertha's. any input besides the review that I've read alvailable on this site?

    • Same, I rather be able to mix and match to get the ball flight I want. Chip a 9 iron or crush a 9 iron. It gives a lot of flexibility. It makes golf more fun. 
    • Most feels need to be extreme.  Example, I have to feel like my hands go down towards my right ankle or right hip pocket from the top of the backswing. I HATE IT! But the club gets on plane in the downswing. It is stupid difficult for me to do because of my old patterns. So, I may need to SLOW it down to be able to do it.  You have spent years ingraining movements that feel natural. So, if you are feeling a golf swing that feels normal, you are 99% likely using the old swing. It sucks, but you will need to make things uncomfortable till they become comfortable.  I can't find the video, but Tiger mentioned once, and I am getting the general of the quote not exact, but the feel of like 2-3 FT of clubhead position in the backswing is like 3" of real position change. There are videos of him exaggerating movements, and when he takes a normal swing, it is nothing like what he is exaggerating.    That isn't him making swing changes. That his him just being able to time up path to clubface more consistently.  At a certain point we should be able to move the body without needing to look at the body part moving. This is why training with mirrors can be a double edge sword. It is great to be able to see where the club is at, but in reality, you are not training your body to do that without looking at it. Sometimes you need that initial feedback to get things started.
