You definately can't go wrong with any model of Mizuno's you look at, but if you have ever thought about titleist, the 735s are a perfect blend of blades and cavity backs. I think mizuno irons are outstanding, but will never give up my 735s. The combo and offsets are wonderful. I would definately take a look at these.

i have an old heavenwood and i love it on tight courses for driving, it is also very good for getting out of rough and not goofy looking like many hybrids. i am a tradtionalist, so i prefer it over a hybrid.

Golf is a Gentlemen's Game. I have always been told that by my coaches and I beleive it to the fullest. It is a shame that too many people don't treat the game that way. For the issue of bending clubs, I am an engineering student and I can tell you that certain metals and alloys break when they are applied to certain amounts of stress especially after they have been weakened. Be careful about altering the metals/chrome alloys.

Rotation is definately on of the keys, especially if you like a thin glove so you can get maximum club feel. I play with the titleist players gloves and have worn them out in 5-6 rounds when I was younger. This year I purchased a sleeve of them and have only used 2 (hit range balls with a junker). Both are still in prime condition. The other key is storage. Store the glove in the original case and dry it out after the rounds. That extends the life of the glove by at lest 5-10 rounds.

You definately need to go with what feels best in your hand. Each of the brands you are considering all have a unique feel to them, and you will be best with whichever one you feel most comfortbable. I play only Titleist so I would say choose them, but its all on the feel.
