Bridgestone J15 Thread *MB pics pg.8 - DF vs VPC pics pg 7*

For anyone looking to try the mb out, and not spend too much, there is a set on ebay for less than $200

 

Wow that's a good deal

 

Well I took the leap - just ordered a set of J15 MB's with the Modus 120X flex shafts. While I'm not normally someone who can justify keeping 2 sets of irons, the prices you can get on DD's make it more acceptable. Not sure if I'll sell the CB's or just keep both. Leaning towards keeping both right now, but I wont rush into that decision.

 

Figure if I don't love the 120X's, i can either flip them with the DG Pro's in the CB's or try something new. I have the 120 in my wedge and really like it there.

 

Even though its still winter in Michigan, I cant wait to get these in my hands! As much as I like the CB's, I miss playing MB's at least in the shorter irons.

 

Where at in Michigan? I play the MB's as well

Well - if early returns are any indication....as much as I liked the J15 CB's I think they are going up for sale. Absolutely loving the J15 MB's on the range for 3 sessions. I'll wait until I actually get on a course before putting the CB's up for sale, but I am very impressed with the MB's. They are much better than I expected on my normal miss (slight toe hit). Really looking forward to the season with these!

Are the J15 CBs taper tip or parallel tip? I thought these were taper tips but couldn't confirm it online.

Hope all are doing well. Think I've decided to drop my J15 CBs (C-Tapers). I just don't love the turf interaction with them in the mid and shorter irons. Switching back to my MP68s until I can find something better: thinking of trying MP-25s, MP5s or TMBs. We'll see.

Hmmm what didn't you like. I'm gaming them with C-Taper and they stayed in the bag specifically for the turf interaction lol

The J15 CB are getting ready to start the season with me. Who else is putting these irons in play again?

 

I just returned my test drive kit. I really liked everything about them except the sole grind. Im settling iffy about that part but im willing to give them a go and will still likely order a set this week. Im waiting to hear back from bridgestonegolf about some questions regarding the build and available options.

The only set i would consider is mph5/mp25. Just changed the dgpro s300 to ctaperlite. New grips and new red ferrules. They are not going anywhere. But i have to admit that im rotating the 4 iron j15/ 4iron mph5 and ping i25 hybrid at 22*. Cant wait fir the season to start.

Curious as to what kinda change the switch to CTL made to your ballflight. Considering a shaft swap myself from DGP, and the CTL and FLTD are on my short list. Looking for just a touch higher flight and spin.

Different strokes I suppose. Perhaps it is the shafts.....we'll see, I'm in the process of re-shafting the 4-iron with a PX 6.5 ss1.

for me: the weight loss in the shaft with ctaper lite vs dg help me with my tempo. But i can still go hard at it if i want. Which never happen. Yeah it is a touch higher but a touch less spin in my case. I feel i control the ball so much more better. Definetely more suited to my swing. Plus they just look even better than they were.

Looked up ordering these from Bridgestone then saw some great deals on eBay but not the exact shafts I wanted maybe I'll wait for some ho to get tired of his. eBay pricing on these are half the price
many times i see a set pop up the bst at a great price.

Still gaming the J40 CBs and love them, but just curious to those of you that have upgraded....am I missing anything?

 

The J40 CBs are forgiving enough and I can still work the ball plus the profile looks nice to the eye until the 4 iron. That's when I can see the back sticking out at address. That is my only complaint.

I'm currently playing the J40's as well, this will be my 2nd season with them. I tried the j15 cb's and the DF through the test drive all with steel fiber shafts. Thought the J40's were the best out of the 3 for me.

Have not made it to the course yet, but after three range sessions, I'm loving the PX 6.5 ssx1 in the 4 iron. Had I not just had the set done with Ctapers, I would absolutely have done them up with the PXs.

Well guys, it's been no secret that I love the J15 cb's. Been playing them the longest of any set I have owned. Being a golfing ho,I have tried lots of different irons to try to knock them out of my bag. Not sure why but it is an addiction. But the J15's always came through. The toughest competitor was the 716 cb's. They were great. But not better.

 

But I feel like I might have found a new winner. I just picked up a set of Bridgestone J015 cb's. Can't wait to get them. I see an epic battle between the two sets in the future. Has anyone here played the J015's and what did you think?
