Will try to make this as short as possible...I was fitted for a combo set of the Taylor Made CBs and MCs back in December, but had to wait to order as my course was basically locked out of their account until the balance was paid for at the end of the year (main reason for waiting and not going to another location to purchase was because the price was worth the wait, so I thought).  Now that they were able to order, Taylor Made has since stopped custom fitting the CBs because they are being discontinued so I cannot get the custom combo I wanted.

Specs from my fitting:
-80mph average iron swing speed
-Lie:  Standard
-Length:  +1/4
-Shaft:  KBS Tour, Stiff, Soft Stepped Once
Handicap:  12

So to my questions:

1.  What other irons would someone recommend to replace my original planned combo set?

2.  Would the specs from my fitting work for a different set of irons? Or is a new fitting required?

I have been considering the below irons:
-AP1
-Mizuno JPX-800 / JPX-800 Pro
-R11
-Adams Idea Black CB2
-Mizuno MPs (haven't hit any to know which ones feel right for me or if my swing is good enough for any of them)

My concern with not getting fitted again is that I have read that the AP1s have a higher launch than the CBs/MCs, and felt that when I hit them the other day, so I don't want to soft step them if it will launch them even higher.

Thanks for any feedback.

I'm a 12 handicap myself and went from Callaway x20 tour to Mizuno 800 pro and absolutely love them. I hit a bunch of clubs and really wanted to go with the mp53 but the 800 pro were just worked out to be the perfect ones for me. I highly recommend them.

I think they replaced the TP CB's with the R11's so you might be able to get a combo set of R11's and TP MC's.  Other sets you could try out;

Mizuno MP-53

Titleist 712 AP2

Callaway Razr X Forged

Thanks Cilos2 and newtogolf, I appreciate your feedback.  I am planning on spending some time swinging many irons over the next week so I can get the right ones ordered.
