Decisions, Decisions.....PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I know you've probably heard this scenerio a billion times but you will have to hear it once more.

I am a 7 handicap who is currently playing a set of Taylormade blades, feel great but I think I need to move to a more forgiving set. Note: I am 17 years old and very strong, most of the time people switching to easier irons are good golfers getting older.

I was going to wait until next year to switch my irons, but Michigan's high school golf schedule changed to the spring.....BULL S**T . I was expecting to get my new irons next spring and have all summer to play with them before the season in the fall. Now I am getting my irons in the summer so I have at least the summer and part of fall before I put them into play in the spring.

Anyways, here is a list of irons I am going to demo:
1. Titleist 755
2. Titleist 695 cb
3. Taylormade r7 TP
4. Mizuno MP 60
5. Callaway Forged
6. Ping S58

Please add any that you think I'm missing or add coments if you've had experience with these clubs/ were in my position at one time.

I would go with the mizuno mp-60 or mp 67's, I also heard good things about the Cobra Forged CB. I didn't know taylormade made pure blades. I thought the only forged iron they made were the rac mb's which were cavity backs.

I went through the same thing. Was looking for a forgiving players iron and checked out all the ones on your list. I didn't like the Titleist at all (after playing with DCIs for 14 years) - I didn't think that the Mizuno irons were as forgiving or as long as the R7 TP or Callaway X-20 Tours and those were the two clubs i narrowed it down to. I ended up getting the Callaway, I just seemed to be the most consistent with those - they also come with a ton of standard shaft options.

Those are the taylormade blades i assume. Even in your reply you said MB. MB stands for muscle back and CB stands for cavity back.


As far as clubs. The 735.cm titleist clubs might be another set to try. I hear good things about the cleveland and cobra irons as well.

Go to the main page of this site. Scroll down the right side until you get to the review link. Click on clubs. Check out the superb reviews, especially the one written about the Titleist 755s. If I were in your shoes, I would definitely give those clubs a try. Best of luck to you.

I would say when you compare clubs that you hit equally well pick the ones that you think look the best. Some like a thin top line and some don't care, some like the CB/MB look on the back of the club and some don't.

When I was looking for new iron I found that I hit them all so equal that it probably wouldn't have mattered which I picked so I picked the ones I liked, the ones that were the most pleasing to my eye.

I have had my new irons for about 3 weeks now (I went with the MP-67), I have used them for 2 rounds now. First time out with them and I hit 12 greens and the second time I hit 10 green....too bad I can't putt to save my life right now :(

I was in a custom fitting shop the other day. Their theory on fitting is that the shaft is the engine and the head is the body style. So pick the head that looks best to you and try different engines er, shafts that fits your driving style.
