I'm planning to get new irons in the next month or two. Right now I'm looking at the Mizuno MP-67s and the Ping S58s. I'll be comparing them on the launch monitor after the holidays and purchasing one. I've been hitting old Taylor Made LCGs that are 1/2 inch too short for me for the last 7 years and need to change.

I'm a 6-8 handicap right now but have been steadily dropping that each year. I hit my irons oddly far compared to most. My PW is usually 150-160 yards and my 7 iron is usually around 190-200 yards.

I'm wondering three things.

1. Does anyone have any other recommendations? I've hit most of the clubs. I liked the Callaway X-20 tours as well but I seem to like these better.

2. Has anyone else done a combination set with irons and did you like it? I am considering going to something more forgiving 3-6.

3. Any other comments on the Mizuno or Ping irons would be helpful as well.

Try Golfsmith.com and look at the Snakeyes 600B and 600C sets. There a component club. All the heads are forged. I got a combination set of C and B's. The C's (small cavity backs) from the 3 to the 6 and the B's (blades) from the 7 to the SW. There a high end club and the heads are on sale now because they have just got a newer model in. You could get a set of 3 to SW with rifle shafts for around 40% of the Mizuno's or Taylormade's. Here's a link to the product.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
