SPY VIP The Dansome Posted February 17, 2014 Author SPY VIP Share Posted February 17, 2014 So I got a chance to hit the SpeedBladez INDOORS last weekend on a monitor. I take back what I said about the sound improving... THESE ARE FREAKING LOUD!!! Yo #JustPlayBetter Follow @GolfSpyMBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Okay I just took advantage of global golfs juiced trade in offer. I have $400 credit and want to use it towards a GI distance iron, I also need a three wood but that can wait. So rocket blades, speed blades or Callaway hot? Any thoughts remembering that rockets will basically be free?

HighFade Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I bag the 825 pro, and they're super solid. But I think I like the speed blades a hair better. They're 1/2 a club longer and feel great. But the CBs are even better. If I had my money to spend over again, I'd buy the CBs There is no spoon.

I have i20's and 820 pros so if I wanted to go cb type in the bag I have it already. I want to go GI and I want distance for a contrast to those two options. 2. It's about the money.

HighFade Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If that's the case, you're buying an extra club of distance with the rocketblades. But it's basically free. Easy sell.

BTW, when I said CBs before, I meant the Tylormade CB line. Best iron I've ever hit. Period. I did know exactly what you meant - the problem with blogs, emails, forums is you can't see the person to know what he is thinking, I have hit the TMag CB's at a demo day - I thought they were great but not significantly different from the i20's that I'd considering laying at $900. Either the Rocketbladz's or the Callaways would be free or close to it so that will be a consideration vs. the Speed bladz's. I've hit the Rocketbladz's a number of times. In fact I demo'd them before anyone else because they had just arrived when I went for my TMag fitting. I was the first one to hit the graphite shafted ones at the performance center at Sawgrass, period. I have a friend who has them and we play together a lot so I've hit his any number of times - his are 1/2 over standard with a big time extra thick grip so they aren't exactly what I'd end up with. I really like the look of the speedblades, smaller profile and the finish is different. I have to decide if that's worth $200 or not I guess. Five yards with irons isn't, tighter dispersion would be, an iron set that will last me 3 years will be too - of course I don't know that I would ultimately even bag them as I'm playing reasonably good golf with the i20's. I'm not as long with them as I'd like though.

revkev Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 In that case, I'll have to hit the i20s. Not that I'll buy them. Depending on what you might want to spend you should try the i25's. I actually think they are more comporable to the Mizuno MP 54's than the 825 pros other than the fact that they aren't as soft if you will. Less offset, smaller profile but there is some forgiveness - they are a very nice club.

I don't think swing speed has much to do with this one - different shafts take care of the swing speed issue - I think it's more a swing repeatability thing.

How much did you get them for? Oh and congrats. I'm still very much up in the air here - plus I had my Mizuno 800 pros out a couple of days ago and was thinking, why not juice these things and then buy a SCOR 50, 46 - that's the issue I had with the 800 pros - the GW and PW are too big looking for my taste. But if I juiced the lofts, bought the SCORs I would have my distance irons that way and then could use the credit at global golf for something else. Any thoughts on that strategy? Right now the Mizunos would be my number 3 set of irons.

HighFade Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That's exactly what I did when I got my 825 pros. Adjusted lofts a hair to avoid gaps, and bagged the MP-T4 GW, SW, and LW.

Strengthen the lofts might give you the extra distance but you may lose height and spin on your shots so you may find that they won't be able to stop on the greens like you're used to.

Right now the Mizunos would be my number 3 set of irons. I went through ebay, got a set of 4-AW with DG S300 for $490. I'll end up pulling the shafts anyway, I have a set of C-Tapers S+ that I will shim and use in them. I do see Global Golf has either 4-AW or 5-SW for $519 though. From the reviews I've read and hitting the Speedblades at the Kingdom trip I would say they are worth spending an extra $100 bucks on. Not to say that you would like the Speedblade wedges, but the AW and SW are much more "wedge like" than the Mizzy GW. The PW may still be a problem for you though as that does match the rest of the irons.

revkev Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Great advice, thanks aguys. Mr. Theo I've adjusted lofts on many of my irons in the past, a tweak stronger, weaker, I've never had an issue with spin or trajectory - also Mizuno is known for being easy to bend and adjust - if anything they're too easy - you have to regularly check your lofts and your lies with those guys. I'm not a high spin player but I rarely have trouble holding greens. Anyway even if I did the bulk of my season is played in conditions that make it ridiculously easy to hold the green even when you've bladed a shot.

It was so easy. If you didn't see it elsewhere the hybrid was really the bomb for me. My set came in on Thurs and I rebuilt them over the weekend. Snuck out Sunday night for 7 holes and then played 18 today. So far I really like them, very forgiving on less than center contact shots and it feels like maybe half a club longer than the Amp Cells. Now I really need to get some practice time in so i can dial in the yardages. Which hybrid did you hit? We got to hit both the Jetspeed and SLDR hybrids at the kingdom. Both felt much better than the RBZ on turf interaction, but I preferred the heavier shaft in the SLDR line.

revkev Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I hit the Jetspeed. I clearly lost some club head speed when I had pneumonia a couple of years ago. I've gotten a bit back by working on the core and using that momentus light shaft, ball thingy but not all of it. Clearly I'm at a stage in life where lighter interacts better with my swing. Thanks for the info on the turf interaction. I didn't get to feel that with the hybrid because I was hitting off a mat.
