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.

    • Day 1:  I had my first “real” practice today at the driving range.  I hit two buckets of balls utilizing all of my clubs minus the pitching wedge (I haven’t had a lesson on that one yet).  
    • like I don't like to think I'm an amazing player as I play off around 7-8 handicap or anything but The one miss I have at the minute is with my strike and its getting really frustrating because I don't see what's causing it please don't say basic stuff like I don't weight shift etc because it wont help here are some videos form certain angles (these aren't that fat in the video maybe slightly chunked but its more the fact that the chunk happens 1 in every 4 iron shots so I'm never consistent) https://imgur.com/epaeE4D https://imgur.com/CKeV0Nm https://imgur.com/lJkliwd https://imgur.com/a/1Z7VwK9
    • You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. The Committee can declare them GUR. I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up? “That Rule is So Unfair!” A Rules Geek’s Generalized Guide to Hot Takes and Overreactions | Rules Geeks I apologize for the length of this post. If I had more time I’d have written a shorter one. – Erik J...  
    • When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.
    • Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.
