New Iron Time

klingmaster007 · July 23

Hey All,

Been a while since I got some new clubs (got the club ho out of me) but thinking its time to upgrade the MP-20 blades to something else. Been using MP20 blades with hard stepped AMT white X100s for 4 years now but lots of swing changes and def need something newer. Also tired of the lofts I had these set at (44* 9 iron) so looking to change back to the more modern blade lofts

Shaft wise probably going TI X100 or might try the TI X100 mid. Going to get on trackman this weekend to test them both out but need more help figuring out what heads to go with/how to combo them

Currently looking at Miura or Mizuno again having used them both in the past.

Miura was thinking MC-502 9-6 with TC-202 5-4. Maybe the MB101 in the lower irons? Was getting some conflicting information is the MC 502 actually considered a blade still?

Mizuno I am not sure how to combo them with the Pro S1 and S3 disrupting the 240 series. Was thinking just doing a 9-7 S1 and a 6-4 S3? but not sure if that is the best way to combo them

I am looking for a bit more speed in the 5-4 to gap a little better. Also might finally make the Pro V1 to Pro V1X change for a tad more mid iron spin

Anyway any input would be appreciated.

Also have to say I wish more fitters had different numbered irons to test to get the combos right. Would love them to have 7,6,5,4 to test out .

Well the Mizuno S-1 are drool worthy....

Seems you have some ability...

Changing irons is a huge pain. Getting swingweight, lie angle, etc all right, for each iron, is just tedious.

Good luck tho.

I would say that if you are giving this much thought you should wait for the S1 irons to come out and go do a fitting for those. Literally can't go wrong with Mizuno at all

You can't go wrong with the Mizzy S-1s or Miura MC-502s. As someone who loves blades (currently MP-18s), I perfer to play the blade through the 5 iron and then go with a slightly stronger and hotter 4 iron...but that is just me. I have never really found going to a muscle cavity in the long irons to be much of a benefit.

The Miura MC-502s are certainly blades, but many have found them to be very forgiving, even in the long irons. And I concer. I will actually be getting a set in the next few months, but I don't see myself getting rid of my Mizunos.

Not that comparable I suppose but since I put the s-3 in my bag my handicap has dropped steadily from 5 or so to a current 3. And I’m still improving.

anyways the s3 are well suited to me. Would hope you find them as nice.
