I think Mizuno is. They have some of the best quality control and handforge their irons.

For years I would only play the crossline cords, then my hookup for them retired and I wasnt paying the hefty price. Now I play the Golf Pride MCCs on all woods and irons, wedges. Just regripped and ready for the season to officially start up here in the Chicagoland.

Still playing the TSR2 10 Degree.

Play it once. Playing courses like that, you will remember for the rest of your life. I still remember playing Orange County National the day before Q School qualifying. Shot a 74 in peak conditions from the tips. Granted this was back in 2003. Just like playing the Bull in Sheboygan before it was open to the public.

I currently play the SM9, 50, 54 and 60. I just dumped the stock TrueTemper shaft and dropped in Rifle 7.0 8 iron shafts, cut to spec. From what I read it will lower the ball flight and give me a little more stopping power. Hit em at an indoor dome and they feel nice. Has anyone else dropped 8 iron shafts in their wedges? What has been your feedback on the course?

I recently came into a free set of Volkey SM9 wedges I won from the PGA Championship pool. I have the black, 50, 54 and 60, with the KBS shafts. Previously played the SM6 52, 56 and 60. The SM9s are the best wedges I have played. They are soft, easy to control. I can get them to stop on my courses hard, fast greens and get them to release when I need them to. These wedges have saved me a few strokes around the green side as I am chipping in 1 to 2 times a round. Anyone looking for wedges, I recommend these. I would go out and buy these now that I know how much different they are from other wedges.

I play a private course. We have a standing tee time every Saturday and Sunday at 7:10. If we are not going to be there we let the pro-shop know. Our members are caring about the course and help maintain its beauty. The issue we have is we let the local high school play and they have not been replacing divots, fixing ball marks when playing. We have brought it to the coaches attention and hopefully it will be addressed. Slow play has also been a big topic this year. Rounds have started to exceed 4.5 hours on a 6700 yard course. The club president is the biggest culprit. It was taking 4.5 to 5 hours to play on a weekend when we tee'd off at 830 ish, which is why we play at 710 now. We are done in around 3 hours and then still have the whole day to enjoy ourselves. I hope they start penalizing pace of play especially in tournament play. In our club championship, it took some groups 5 plus hours to play.
