I currently play 710 ap2s 4-pw and was considering switching to the mbs in my 7-pw. I like the look and feel of the mbs in the shorter irons and can get a pretty good deal. do you think the two irons are too different for a combo set?

I'd say the opposite :(

If you compare the specs between the two, then the AP2 has stronger lofts - the different ball flight produced by the tungsten weighting enhances distance. So potentially, you may find a big yardage gap between your 6 and 7-iron - not good.

I could understand using maybe the 3 and 4-iron from AP2's mixed into the MB set, but as a combo set as a whole in my opinion anyway, they are too different to be made to work together.

I know some golfers have tried to combo the AP2's and MB's but I'm not sure how it worked out for them.  The AP2's have 1* stronger loft compared to the MB's.  In addition to the potential yardage gap @Nemicu suggested there might be, the MB's are significantly smaller and less forgiving than the AP2's so make sure you can hit them well.

I see no reason why they won't work. If your yardages are off at the transition, just have them bent to conform. As long as it is not a large loft change.

    • I found it odd that both Drs. (Raymond Prior and Greg Rose) in their separate videos gave the same exact math problem (23 x 12), and both made the point of comparing block practice to solving the same exact math problem (23 x 12) over and over again. But I've made the point that when you are learning your multiplication tables… you do a bunch of similar multiplications over and over again. You do 7 x 8, then 9 x 4, then 3 x 5, then 2 x 6, and so on. So, I think when golf instructors talk about block practice, they're really not understanding what it actually is, and they're assuming that someone trying to kinda do the same thing is block practice, but when Dr. Raymond Prior said on my podcast that what I was describing was variable practice… then… well, that changes things. It changes the results of everything you've heard about how "block" practice is bad (or ineffective).
    • Day 121 12-11 Practice session this morning. Slowing the swing down. 3/4 swings, Getting to lead side better, trying to feel more in sync with swing. Hit foam balls. Good session overall.
