I love my speedblades, you might be able to find a set used in your price range. They are very forgiving and can add 5-7 yards to your distance.

If it was me MP57's , just make sure the shafts are the right stiffness and put new grips on and you got a nice set.

I play a few people who really like the R7 , and my son liked his old kid set of X-24 with shortened senior Flex shafts.

IDK too much about the Cleveland CG4, but my son is enjoying his CG Tour Blades with DG S300.

Not sure where you are, but there are a lot of used golf club shops you can try things out before buying them?

I have played the RocketBladez (next year's model from the RocketBallz, not significantly different IMO) since they came out and love them.  I've taken about 8 strokes off since I started playing them and have no intentions of changing any time soon.  Nothing bad to say about them.  Good luck!

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
