Been bouncing at the 7 index level for several years. Have a couple setups:

First is the Mizuno rig. 2 iron, Mizuno Pro, 3-PW MP-37, DGS. May reshaft and resurrect my MS-11s, which would plug in where the 37s now reside.

Second rig is the Golden Ram Experience. A couple different 1-PW Golden Ram setups, possibly with a Golden Ram set SW added on top, DG or Precision 6.5 shafts.

Sometimes substitute a Maxfli Revolution 1 iron for the Mizuno Pro 2 iron, or the Golden Ram 1 iron.

2.9 index. Currently only have a Srixon 965 pw in the bag. Grew up on blades walter hagen ultradyne II that were my uncles. Also have had mp14, mp68, Titleist 670. Truly love blades, which is why I believe iron ball striking has always been the best part of my game. In recent years, in seeing how many tour guys are not playing playing blades, I have forced myself away from them despite the love. However, I've struggled with high ball flight, usually around 42-46 yard apex with 6 iron, and that's with basically every iron shaft I've tested. I keep wanting to revisit blades given the higher CG may help me keep them down, maybe seeing a lot of other single digits on here gaming them, and since I'm not playing for anything serious, maybe I will again.
