John Bachman Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I don’t know how they could feel any better than my MP20 MMC irons but who knows Think it would be a lateral move to trade, or at least not enough of an upgrade.

bens197 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 TXG review was pretty good. I’m definitely impressed with this design. I’ve said it before, the JPX and MP “best of” mashup sounds like an absolute winner. Now it’s just time to hit them and see how it goes. I would love to see a deeper dive on the PW feel they mention. I do love that this isn’t just an echo chamber of adulation; they do see things they’re not completely sold on.

Pretty interesting how current Players long irons are as good or better than the hollow headed more forgiving "utility" type irons. I have a 4 UDi TP I play when using my Srixon Z Forged irons and tried to put it in my bag with my Cobra Tour irons but I just hit the Cobra 4i better than the TP 4i and also have more confidence with it. In fact my Cobra 4i is one of my favorite clubs in the bag. ... As an aside I picked up a SIM2 4 hybrid that basically replaces my 5 wood and added a SIM2 16.5* HL instead of the 15* model. I have found myself on several occasions approaching a 2nd shot on a par 5 where the high launching 5 wood is too short and the 3 wood too long and hope the 16.5* HL solves that problem with the best of both worlds. Gonna experiment with different wood combinations once the fairways firm up for the winter because the roll can be a good 40-50 yds longer than the summer. 50 extra yds sounds great right?

Like everything in this crazy game, there are always trade offs. There is something fun about choosing a winter and summer bag...being meticulous about certain clubs based upon turf and weather makes the new gear releases even more exciting id presume... I thought the same thing about the players irons as well...This last year, I struggled with the 4 UiHi in my bag and really didn't jump all over it much during rounds. The PTx pro 5 iron just worked better and was more consistent...I think @Sluggo42was onto something when he requested a 4 iron in the PTx pro to replace the UiHi Sluggo42, chisag and GolfSpy_SHARK 3 Quote PING G400 LST Mitsubishi Tensei White 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 L.A.B.

the_rev_golfs Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 They're beautiful. Fitting heads are in. 221 is traditional. 223 is going to be the homerun of the line, plus it's actually available in LH now. 225 will grab more players now wit the smaller head shape.

tblackmer Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I hit the 223's and 225's for a few hours today. Two of the most satisfying sets I've ever hit. Ordering them on Sunday at my local fitter. Luckily i was striking the ball well today and got to feel them against comparable Taylormade, Callaway, Cobra, and Titliest. The Mizuno Pros were by far the best feel of the bunch. Not sure if i'll end up with a mix set or straight 225's but February can't come soon enough! bens197 and Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob 2 Quote Driver: _ _ GBB Epic , 10.5 Fairway: _ _ Epic Irons: _ _ G25 Black Dot, CFS Steel Stiff Wedges: _ _ SM6 50.08, 54.08 and 58.12 mixed grinds Putter: _ _ Works “Everybody can see that my swing is homegrown.

marchaman33 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 No sooner did I switch out my trusty combo Mizuno MP/MC set with a Fli-Hi 4 iron that I have been gaming for a decade for custom 1rst Gen T200s last season ( I got them for the AMT white Onyx shafts TBH) then these babies come out... Full disclosure I was not in love enough with the JPXs and thought that i should take advantage of a bit of t he technology as I get older.

Droptopman Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Gorgeous clubs. Hard to beat a Mizuno iron. Last 3 sets of irons are Mizuno. Currently using either JPX 900 forged or MP20 MMC. I like the looks of these and it seems Mizuno is really working on flexibility for combo sets. We will see what my specs look like, but I am leaning heavy towards a combo set next time. Maybe all three models in a set. HMB long irons, MMC middle and blades in short irons. I need to do some work on a monitor anyways. Would love to find a graphite/steel fiber shaft that works for me. As I age the arthritis gets worse every year. Need something a little easier on the hands but that I can still flight down.
