I think you may need a detailed evaluation using a launch monitor that compares the two. I recently did a $25 PXG fitting to compare my TM irons and see what I need. Obviously their recommendations were based on PXG models but it helped me see where my swing fits in the traditional irons model lineup.
FWIW, I subscribe to the camp that believes 90% of golfers should be playing Game Improvement irons or very forgiving polymer-filled irons.I’ve been thinking of the Pxg irons because I loved the driver fitting, and I tend to stay away from the game improvement stuff just because I don’t like catching a short iron with no spin and it flying 15 yards to far. I’m not a blade player anymore but I do need something with spin. Most likely need a combo set, my long irons are not what they used to be lol

You're a 1 handicap. If the irons are working well for you, and they're dialed in for distance with good dispersion, what are you looking for in new irons? More distance? More spin? Just a change of scenery? There's nothing wrong with getting new and shiny just because you want to, but I've had better luck (in any sport) changing based on a demonstrable increase in performance, even if the increase is small or in a very specific niche area.
I’m basically just wanting to make sure I’m playing the best clubs for me. The z forged are very solid, I just don’t want to be missing out on anything I guess. I switched from CB irons because I kept catching flyers and air mailing greens from 160 with 9irons.

My entire set up is from 2019/2020, so I am looking at pretty much everything. I am currently looking into getting fit for fairway woods (only clubs I haven’t been fit for) new putter is probably coming soon, unfortunately I change those more frequently then the seasons. Any ways, putter fitting/ iron fitting/ fairway wood fitting are all in the near future

Any issues with lining up putts with it mainly being a circle?
At the moment, no issues because of the arrow that comes off the circles. It also lets me kind of react to the putt as well because it’s not a straight line. Sometimes I worry too much about the line on the ball. Plus I like that it’s not sharpie so it doesn’t smudge lol

I have been using the dots and arrow as an alignment aid while putting and I kinda like it. I’m working it into my pre shot routine and trying to get used to the process on all my other shots

I have the Rapsodo mlm 2 pro and I do really like it. I have a set up in the back yard and I do have some connectivity issues. But all in all I think it’s an accurate unit and is a lot of fun. If I had a bigger bank account I would go GCquad but the Rapsodo is really solid

Hello MGS friends,
So when is it time-ish for new irons? I got fitted for Srixon z forged irons back in 2019 and I have played them since. What should I look for when testing new irons? Should I be more concerned with shafts? Or should I just be looking at spin numbers and ball speed?
also, when does an iron start losing performance?
-
When testing putters or any new clubs for that matter (if I’m hitting into a net) I bring my own ball and test my ball on the greens or on the simulator.
I usually hit a put to a hole just to see the break, then I just hit putts seeing if I can hit my spots. I definitely am a tinkerer so apparently I haven’t found a putter that will stick in my bag

Let the testing begin!!!
I have played Bridgestone balls on and off for a while now. I used to play the e6 when I was in highshool but that was probably because of price lol.
I find myself going back and forth between golf balls. I currently play the AVX (I do not like the ball but I have had my best rounds with it)putting around with the mindset ball, I do like the feel. It’s not clicky and it’s not overly soft. Excited to get this ball on the course

Just got the Qi10ls and also picked up some SM9 wedges, looking forward to my next round!
the rest of my bag is Srixon z forged irons, sim 5&3 wood

I wish I did! I’d love to get into fitting or teaching, I just don’t know how to get started! I’ve been in this crazy game for 23 years and I have been able to share my knowledge and experience with tons of different people and watching them light up when they learn a different shot or start hitting it better after moving some driver weights around is a much better feeling to me then playing well!

This is going to be a great opportunity! So excited to put the Bridgestone mindset ball to the test!

My first thought was Srixon, being from Huntington Beach California I always thought it was cool being from the same place.
but I would say Ping putters are under appreciated. Not a lot of tech but they do feel great and the black putters with white sight lines are very pleasing to look at.
most people gravitate to odyssey or Scotty’s -
I’m still in the g410 LST
but I’m currently looking at the zx7 mk II, tsr3 and black ops
more of a “want something new” than need a new driver lol

The under 200$ is gonna be kinda hard but you could probably find some titleist AP1’s or some Taylormade rocketbladez (they aren’t actually a blade iron) or something in that ball park. I would probably try and get something in a regular flex and maybe even in graphite shafts. Hope this helps a little and I hope they become life long golf partners!

Yes taylormade skips 4 in the tp5 balls and uses 5 because of the 5 piece ball instead of 4. I believe they started it as soon as they came out with it
I like it, I’m just new to Taylormade balls

Congrats everyone!
can someone tell me if Taylormade skips “4” on the golf ball? My box goes 1,2,3,5. In just curious to see if Taylormade does that for every dozen.

Get a metal yardstick and putt down the smooth side. Everything has to be lined up or it t won’t make it to the end.
I use this daily in my living room

Bridgestone MindSet Golf Ball Testing - (Sampling and Shot Scope Ops)
in Forum Testing Reviews
Posted
Got a round in with the new mindset ball. It feels great off the driver and irons. It was gusting up to 30mph so I’m not going to blame the ball for anything. Getting back out this week, wind should be down quite a bit. I do like incorporating the identify, visualize and focus to my pre shot routine.
