Blades or Cavity

[Kyengtae3]

So I have a set of Srixon Pro-100 4-PW Project X 6.0 and Titleist 716 Ap2 5-PW Dynamic Gold AMT S300. I can hit them both very well (blades of course needs a little more work and focus), just wanted to know what your guys’s thoughts were on these two irons. The AP2 is super easy too hit but I don’t like the feel of the club and the heaviness of it. The Pro-100 is harder to hit but the feel is phenomenal and is but on the light side (i like my irons a little light).

Get some Blavity irons - the best of both worlds.

[Kyengtae3]

I heard if you play the Blavity Irons, your pe*** falls off. ?‍♂️

[SUPERG]

have we not covered the blades vs CB topic TO DEATH ALREADY

[gdb99]

Why would you even think about playing an iron that you don't like the feel of?

Kind of a no-brainer, no?

[2Down]

I like the feel of a good round, the 716 ap2 give you that at the end of the day.

T100

 

 

[Kyengtae3]

You obviously did not finish reading my post. The AP2 is easier to hit and helps me when im tired towards my end of my rounds. But the blades feel amazing lol.

[Kyengtae3]

yea 100% no doubt. Thats why im having second thoughts lol. Idk im just a little nutty in the head

[Tar_Heel_93]

Blend the 2 sets, you will have forgiveness in the long irons and feel in the scoring irons. Either that or play both depending on how you feel that day.

Why don't you get something that feels like a blade but is more forgiving like the forged Srixon Z 765? It has a MPF of 473 which is lots better than the blade at 300 something. GI clubs start at 550. Speaking of that the Maltby forged MMB-17 that have a MPF of 701. They look like blades.

[Kyengtae3]

Lol youre gonna have to dumb this down for me.

[Kyengtae3]

Lol yes, but its always so fun haha

[chipa]

The Maltby Playability Factor that has a method of classifying clubs based on how forgiving they are. I found about it on this forum. Here is a link. BTW, the Maltby TE forced CB look really sweet and play like a GI 700 out of 900 compared to 300 something for a blade. They don't have a lot of offset either. But if you like that there are forged cb's with more offset. I would go for the best of both worlds if I could.https://www.golfworks.com/iron-head-mpf-ratings/a/870/

Orrrr guys guys guys, should I just take the shafts off the Srixon Pro-100, and put them in my Honma TW737V??

[chipa]

Those are some sweet looking cb's.

[Kyengtae3]

Right?? I used them for a little while but since it was Regular flex I grew out of it quick. So it still has that new shine. I might just do that....dam. This is why I love golf, sooo many different customization options

[gdb99]

No, I read your whole post.

Maybe I just don’t understand.

Good luck.

[Golf64]

OP, get some MP20MMCs and call it a day?!

[brew4eagle]

Choose feel and play the Srixons. Score will be the same at the end of the day, at least it would be in my experience.

[jbrunk]

Definitely reshaft the Honma, but don’t pull apart your Pro 100’s to do it. Like you said the Srixon’s feel great as is. I’d put Modus 120 or $-taper in the TW’s and work those into the mix. Play the AP2’s in the Winter, TW’s in the Spring, Pro 100 in the Summer-Fall.

[jjschafe]

I recently switched out MP-37's for TW747v's and I love them. Sounds like this would be a great (and cheaper) way to get the feel and forgiveness you want.

If you've got the $$$ then Mizuno MP20 MMC's would be a great way to go.

[Kyengtae3]

what shaft did you put in yours?

[Kyengtae3]

arent Modus and KBS shafts really expensive?

[jjschafe]

I have Modus 105s in mine. I've played DG S300 my whole life, but demo'd a set of MMC's with Modus 105 and liked them a lot, so I rolled the dice and went with them in the Honma's.

[Kyengtae3]

Oooo nice. If you’ve got pictures, post them! I love looking at irons lol. Do you know what the differences are between the 737 and 747?

[jbrunk]

It’s all relative, isn’t it? Check Golfworks for new prices, I think Modus is kinda mid-price point. There are certainly cheaper options, like DG AMT for example. You could always just build one club first, to make sure it’s a combo that fits you.

[jjschafe]

I really don't know the differences between 737 and 747. They look very similar and are aimed at the same target "player's cavity" market. Likely just small generational tweaks.

 

Honma on the left, MP37 on the right:

 

[Kyengtae3]

Such beautiful irons ?
