How do the Bridgestone J33CBs compare to J36CBs?

[Moonnerd]

I may take a chance on either the J33CB or J36CB.  I have hit the J38 and J40 and loved them.  I would probably like all the Bridgestone irons.

Are there any main differences between the 33 and 36?

I don't think you'll find much of a difference. They're both forged from the same carbon steel, the lofts are the same, the lengths are nearly identical, but the offset is a touch different (more on the 33s) and the sole design is slightly different. The 36s do come with Project X shafts while the 33s come with Dynamic Golds, and both of then have the old grooves. The 36s are, obvioulsy, "3" better than the 33s. :-D

Yeah also looking at the combo sets for the 33s and 36s the 36s look so much nicer though

As Jamo says they play pretty much the same. I have the 36's and they are great irons. I haven't found anything yet to take them out of my bag.

I totally agree with the combo sets.  I could get one locally but the J33 combos are pretty ugly.  Thanks for the info.  This is very helpful.

Yeah just lost a set of j36 on ebay for 270 then saw a set of 33s go for 200 but to ugly for my taste.

[Moonnerd]

shhhhh!  I've been watching those ebay sales this afternoon too.  There are some great deals on Bridgestone irons.  I'm leaning towards the J33CBs though.

Ya i think its cuz stones arent popular. Really like those combo sets tho

I am more of a sweeper and don't take much of a divot... would one of the sole designs be more favorable to my kind of swing?

I'm a sweeper too and the J36CB's work fine for me.
