Seeking iron advice

[Chavez]

I am looking to purchase new irons. I am a 12 and have been playing Ping i3's for 7+ years. I would like a good "feeling" players club yet forgiving as I am not able to get out or to the range every week. I have about a 85-90mph 6 iron swing speed. I hit the MP 57's, TM r7 TP's and the MX 25's. The TM r7 TP's felt more forgiving but less feel than the 57's. The MX 25's felt good but a little clunky. Anyone out there hit these and have any feedback? Much appreciated. Thx

The reason why r7 felt less I'm sure is because it's cast irons unlike MP-57 which is forged. It's actually matter of preference. If it's feel you're looking for then go with Mizuno. I believe even the MX-25 feels better than the r7. Otherwise pick r7 for more forgiving type of irons.

There's another way to have both feel and forgiveness of the r7. You need to check out Japanese forged r7 irons set. FYI, they also have the r7 TP forged, which look really awesome.

There are things you might want to consider in upgrading irons . Not all you see or try may be the right one . Manufacturers Advertising and being IN may not give you what you want for your game . Google the iron of your choice and read the independent feedbacks from satisfied golfers . Also try models from 2-3 years ago . Ther are a lot of game improvement set that are well worth it but have been shadowed by all these new so called technology . Market place of this forum is a good place to start . Used well cared sets are their weight in Gold . Plus you get to spend your savings on other matters that can bring your game to the next level .

Chavez, have a look at KZG Forged Cavity II irons. I enjoy using them alot and they're really good quality clubs however, not as popular as say, Mizuno MP's. Happy golfing!!

P. S KZG provides custom club fitting for you and that I consider really important.

Try Golfsmith.com and look at the Snakeyes 600B and 600C and 600XC 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.

I ordered the materials and had them made by a local golf pro. I absolutly love them they feel like butter and the cavity backs are forgiving.

thanks all for the responses - I have hit both the mp 57 and r7TP and question I have is there a major difference in fogiveness between the 2?

[Chavez]

1 more ? - which shaft would be right with a 85-90 mph 6 iron speed with a high ball flight that I would like to bring down a bit? Thanks again for the feedback

try the kzg forged evolution its a blended set that i play. at a 2 handicap i would highly suggest them they are so forgiving and very playable they are top of the line.
