As previously stated in another thread I am looking at purchasing a CB/MB mixed Mizuno iron set which I demo'd. I recently found out about the veteran's discount for PxG's and now considering the GEN 1's. I know this is subjective but which way would you go and why?

I'd go with Mizuno. I really like the MP18s and you've already been fit for a set, right?

I don't really like the way the screws look on the PXG irons.

I agree on the screws but they are pretty nice in person. I did get fit but I am not sure about the fitting other than the shaft recommendation.

Well, no lie board. Had the shaft speed device thet measured my speed so I am okay with the shaft. I have two degree flat clubs and he recommended one degree flat. I feel like I should be using possibly 3 degrees flat but I am fairly accurate with 2 already. I had previously used a lie board for my current irons but my swing is different now yet he didn't measure the last e. 20180714_165729.jpg

Not sure but I know a guy with a lie board and have the stickers so might do that.

I they are the same price, It would be really hard not to go with the PXGs..   and this is coming from someone with a bag full of Mizunos.   And, I love my Mizunos.   

but, you should really hit the PXGs.   If they feel to you as good as they felt to me, I'm sure that will make up your mind.

Can't go wrong with Mizuno. If you like the buttery feel.

True...

I really would like to hit them, price is $25 more a club. I will see if they are carried at the golf shop in Portland this weekend.

I'd go with the Mizunos if you cannot get fit for the PXGs. I bought new irons three years ago and really wanted to get the new Hogans, but I couldn't find a fitter that offered Hogan. As you can see by my forum name I've played Hogans for decades. My son is actually playing my old set of Apex Edge Pros and I still have my Apex blades from the 90s. However,  getting fit by a certified fitter is very important. I love my Mizunos now and think they're just as good as the Hogans. I haven't paid much attention to PXG. Are they not offered by most club fitters?

I know there are fitters around, just not sure if there is one up here in the boonies. I'm going to check a place this Saturday that shows on their website that they are a seller.

Ken Collins is in Manchester and was excellent. I did irons, Woods and putter with him a few years back. But he doesn’t do PXG.
