From Ping I5's to Mp 60's...good idea?

[green6767]

Well, I've been playing my Ping I5's for about 2 years now and I would like to move into more of a blade type iron. I'm a consistant 10 handicap golfer and actually in the process of getting that number a bit lower this season. I like the cut-muscle back of the mp60's and the thinner top-line look. I have a question though. What exactly would I be gaining/losing in the switch? Would I gain distance and playability? Would I lose some forgiveness? Those are about the only things I know of, but just wondering if anybody else has made a similar switch from cavity backs to muscle backs and their thoughts.

Not just good idea but an EXCELLENT idea. Haha. I am a bit biased because I recently made a similar change like you. I used to play with Taylormade RAC LTII (Cavity with thin topline) and switched to MP60 with Dynamic Gold S300 Sensicore. I chose TT DG S300 over rifle or project X because MP60 already launches the ball high by itself and I myself am a high launcher so needed a shaft to bring the ball flight down a bit and DG worker perfectly. Coming from cast and changing to forged made me realize that I won't be going back to cast irons anymore. Go give it a try. Either you will love it or hate it... Just depends on the individual I guess.
