Titleist CB 710 versus Mizuno MP-52

[Finer]

Looking to buy new irons.  I currently play to a 10 handicap and use Titleist DCI 962 irons.  For what it's worth I'm a lefty so my options are pretty limited.

The case for the CBs.

On the sweet spot, the CBs just feel buttery smooth.  Absolutely love the looks of the clubs too - classic, nothing fancy, just like my DCIs.   My only concern is that the width of the club at address (from heel to toe) is slightly shorter than what I'm used to (and shorter than all the other cavity back clubs I've tried.  Can I (an improving 10 handicap) handle it?  The guy I take lessons from says I can, but I remain somewhat skeptical.

The case for the MP-52s

On the other hand, the MP-52s are great too.  Nice and soft on center hits, but I prefer the CBs on well struck balls.  Launch angle and length are comparable to the CBs.  My only reservation about the MP-52s is that the  dual muscle feature on the 3-7 irons is a little bit of a turn off.   That said, the wider width could instill some confidence at address.  The club fitter preferred these for me.

Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat and leaning towards the CB's since I love my DCI 981's but lack the feel of the newer player's iron. These clubs felt really strong and more forgiving than expected, I don't think they are a stretch if your swing is fundamentally solid. For me, my handicap is a 12 because of my driver and putter not my irons.

Thanks.  That makes me feel better.  As it turns out, just learned I can't even get the MP-52s in LH anymore.  I agree with your assessment of DCI v. CB.  The DCIs are great, but there's no question that the CBs are smoother and surprisingly forgiving.
