In my opinion, Apex MB and MP18 are best for those people that fit right between a blade and a CB, or want to play a blade but may need a players CB. They have decently thick top lines (for blades) and seem more forgiving.

 

718MB and P-730 both fall in the "ballstrikers only" spectrum where you better bring your A game on every shot.

 

Just my experience from having demoed or played all of these.

[craz-e]

Currently own the 718 MB’s and have a set of baby blades on the way.

A lot of the new offerings like the Mizuno are just too large for my liking

 

I’m voting 718 MB only because I haven’t hit the baby blades yet and they are not on the list

 

The Titleist may not be the softest feel but damn are they precise weapons in my bag

[JonnyKrasnodar]

MP 18 gets my vote as it was such an all-round great club to have e on course for a few weeks. Best looking by a mile, incredible feel as always and really impressive performance throughout.

[torrejuan]

My choice for Hogan, Mizuno, and Srixon are solely for looks. Have not hit any of them.

[gregsimms1017]

MP 18s for sure. Especially since I own them. That explains it all.

[chinaski]

Best looking: National Custom(Have not hit personally)

Best feeling: Miura MB 001

Most forgiving: Srixon Z965

What? No National Custom Works? You guys just did a podcast on them they should be at least in the running don't you think?

[Golfingfanatic]

Number one for me will always be the BBs but since they are not exactly new, I voted for the Apex MBs (especially nice in the raw finish) and the P730s.

[bladehunter]

I see no Miura LE 1957. So I voted #2 Callaway apex.

[AntonA9]

Apex MB oil can finish are fantastic, number 1 for me. Also liked the Mizuno and TM 730 as 2nd and 3rd choice.

[moegolfer11]

National Custom has to be apart of the list bc it's my only vote

[Doc420]

718- boring, IMO

965- very unique and underrated

MP18- typical Mizuno

730- huge step-up for TM

Apex MB Raw- coolest of the cool

Should run this list for lefties, too. It would be a lot shorter.

[mwmgolfx]

Interesting that PXG is not even on the list. Nor is EPON. And Miura baby blades not there either. Just the old Miura 001's. My currrent Miura blades are the pro model and like butter. Feel is phenomenal. Will dig in if you are a divot maker type swing, versus a picker type. At my local club, over 15-20 PXG sets have been sold in the last 12 months. More than any other manufacturer by far.

I think the ft worth are one of the best looking irons ever. I was very close to buying them, but the forgiveness of the i200 led me that route.

[Warrick]

Nice, MizunoEurope tweeted this poll and results from WRX on their twitter account.

[JonnyKrasnodar]

Saw that. Great stuff. Awaiting my 2 iron Fli hi.

[LBGolf]

I’m very split for the decision between MP-18 and Srixon z965

 

I would say the mizuno edges out the srixon only on the classic look. Performance is near identical.

 

I’m still gaming old Cleveland 588 mb that will be hard to push out of the bag.

 

[BlackM00Nlight]

Mizuno

Hogan

Miura

The FW irons are some of the most forgiving blades on the market. Up there with the Apex MB and the Cobra FlyZ MB.

[elwhippy]

MP18s are simply stunning. Also love the P730s and the trad shaped Wilson's. A shame quite a lot of those models are not available in the UK or are very hard to locate.

[mtnbiker5]

Mp 18 hands down for feel, looks and value. Unquestionable.

[Ereim]

2018 is a great year for blades!

[PappyVanWinkle53]

MP18 - buttery soft, great forgiveness for a blade, consistent performance, beautiful irons. Love them!!

 

Wilson FG100 Tour (even though they aren’t new for 2018) - superb feel, great performance, maybe the best looking! A close 2nd for me.

 

Apex MB - raw finish is really sleek, very soft, strong performance. Great clubs.

[bamadmbfan]

You left off the best one out there.......National Custom. Ill take some handcrafted MBs from Don White over anything out there.
