Mizuno MP-64's?

I think you could even be more specific on the differences ... Players irons hurt you the most on toe hits. If your misses tend towards the heel you probably would see little change between the types of irons. If you're like me, however, and your misses are toe-ward I would highly recommend against any players type irons. Shameless plug: my i20's (and the new callaway x hots - more on that later) are both really good in that aspect.

I bought a 5-PW set of MP-69s 6 months ago. Love them. They feel better than my Titleist MB-710's. A center face strike is really amazing. I have been hitting a little closer to the heel (lately, clearing my hips too early) but still getting almost the same distance---but the feel and sound is slightly less satisfying. I just bought an individual MP-64 7 iron=---the 7 is my favorite club in the bag right now.   Looking forward to striking it. Then I can use my MP-69 7 iron for the driving range---those Top flights and other rock hard range balls are knicking up the forged club face pretty good.  Hit some center strikes today with the MP-69 7 iron (and only 1 solid strike with the  tiny face of the MP-69 5 iron) that were amazing.  To really experience the "buttery" feel you do have to strike the ball in the center of the clubface. This is hard to do with a tiny blade iron like the MP-69. I'm hoping the 64 will be slightly easier. I occasionally hit my cast Ping I-10's but there's just something about that cavity (cast instead of forged)  feel that I'm not crazy about anymore. I don't even care for my Vokey wedges anymore because cast seems muffled and dead compared to forged. But I did play with a guy today who was a good player and he was having an easier time with his cavity back Nike irons---or so it seemed. Yes, he really was a good player in spite of his Nike irons.

Well it must be starting to come around for me. Went and had a hit the last couple of days and my irons are going pretty wel even if I say so myself.. Now I haven't changed my swing style or anything like that but I've slowed down a bit and haven't screwed around with10 practice swings before each shot. I have tried to concentrate more as I make contact and have made myself relax. Sunday is afternoon scrounges so I hope it flows to this as well. Just happy as. My handicap is still 31 so I hope this will drop as I crank up again this year .
