Help me chose between these 2 iron sets. I have a choice between Mizuno T-Zoid Comp-EZ, and Titleist 755. Both are 3-PW and both are right at $100.00. I am a mid handicapper and am upgrading from some adams game improvement irons. Both of these seem like a good deal, and I am split between the 2.

Do you have to option to take them and try them out? Even if it's just at a range?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with either set, so I can't offer any first hand experience. Only thing I can say is that the PGA value on the 755s is higher than the TZoids, so they are technically the better deal. Though being a better deal doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be better for you. But, they are 6 years newer being from 2005 as opposed to 1999. Personally, I'd go for the 755s. However, maybe someone who's had a chance to play these clubs will be able to give more insight other than just value and manufacture date though.

Thanks Jeremie. The year and the value were the only things I had to go off of so I was leaning towards the 755s myself. But I've always wanted a set of forged Mizunos so tough decision.

I would second @Jeremie Boop's recommendation based on the available factors. I don't think either is a bad choice but would flag the 755's as the better choice if it were me. 

Do you have a Golfsmith or Golf Galaxy (or the like) in your area - someplace that sells used sets you could demo?  Good chance they'd have at least one of these models on the pre-owned rack and would let you try them out in the nets.

Neither of the golf shops in my area have these clubs. I can get both sets for less than $200. I am thinking at this point to pick up both sets and sell the loser of the 2.

That's not a bad option if you can afford it.

I have only had 2 sets of irons so far. Titleist 990's, and Mizuno MP H4. Both are excellent, and I doubt you could go wrong here.

My 990's came with regular shafts (came to like x-stiff), and I banged them up digging trenches, so I bought the Mizuno's on a good deal. I would still be playing the 990's otherwise.

Personal opinion: 755's look great

Im liking the 755s based on the research. I still need some forgiveness so it will come down to that once I hit them.

I believe both sets are forged.

I haven't play any of the old Mizuno's so I don't have much insight on them. However, I have had multiple friends play that model of Titlesist irons and say it was one of their best years of club making. Personally I would go with the first one.

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By StuM · Posted

      Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By iacas · Posted

      Erik J. Barzeski (@iacas) • Instagram reel 1 likes, 0 comments - iacas on April 6, 2026: "The LM1 from @shot_scope is a $200 launch monitor with a great display and extreme portability. Since 98% of a ball's distance inside of about 150 yards is determined... The ShotScope LM1 is a $200 launch monitor that made waves last fall and at the PGA Show in January. Think of it like the PRGR or the Stack radar, but in a different form factor and with a better display. It's also got a rechargeable battery (no messing around with AA or AAA batteries), and a bigger, brighter, multi-color screen over the greyscale LCD on those units. I believe it still uses the same algorithms to "guess" at the distance given the club you've chosen, assuming a relatively moderate launch angle. I do not believe it measures your "VLA" (vertical launch angle). As we know from Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, ball speed for shots 150 yards and shorter accounts for about 98% of the distance the ball travels, assuming you didn't blade the bejeezus out of it, so the LM1 can, like other simple launch monitors, really help you dial in your distance wedges. I don't think ShotScope is honoring discount codes yet (you're free to try clicking the link and using the codes in the sidebar here at TST), and it's sold out for now anyway. But, you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. I'll update this thread as I continue to test the unit, but so far I really like: Ease of setup and use. The quality, brightness, and colors of the display. Battery life seems adequate. I'm not sure about five hours, but… it'll last well over a full session. The battery charges quickly and with a standard USB-C cable. I had some difficulties inside when players were hitting drivers into a net 13 or 14 feet away. Many swings reported 35 MPH, or 38, or 32. My hunch was that it was seeing the speed the screen moved, perhaps, as we tried a number of configurations. It was a solid screen, not a net, and later testing to an archery net that was 35 feet away yielded consistent and reasonable numbers every time.
