Mizuno FanBoy... P790 Replacement

[Marc21Golf]

My girlfriend and I recently moved in together... and she brought up the fact that every sports equipment and all my tennis shoes are Mizuno brand. So i'm thinking to myself... I should get Mizuno Irons! I currently have in the bag P790's. I picked up two Mizuno CLK hybrids (3 and 4) a few weeks ago at the local golf show, got them for a really good price I coudln't say no to. So i'm looking to get rid of my 4-A P790 and get something in the 5-A in Mizuno.

I'm going to get fit for a set of Mizuno's but I don't know which one. With the 919's being out for a little bit now, any thoughts on what compares to the 790's? I recent hit the 919 forged, MMC and the MP18's, I love the look and the feel of them, but honestly i'm not good enough to play them. I'm a 12 hdcp and according to trackman I carry the MMC 6 iron 153 on average. I know it's due to the lofts, so I like the extra "distance" the P790's give me.

What I love the most about the MMC and the MP18's was the smaller head shape and smaller heal to toe length, makes me feel there is less room to miss and I hit a majority of them out of the center, more often that I do with my P790. Bigger club face = more room to miss the middle, is that a thing? lol

 

So long story short, anyone out there game the P790 and switched to a mizuno iron, or have something to compare? I know most of you will probably say to go try them all and I've tried some, but not all yet. That is coming this week with snow melting and a little warmer weather. For someone like me, is the MMC/Blade out of the question? Can I get them bent to stronger lofts to maybe help with some distance gapping?

I have a set of MP18 MMC P-7I and Fli-Hi 6-4I.  The Mizzy wins on feel and accuracy.  I also had a set of P790’s for 3 months,  it wins on distance a club longer based on stronger lofts and forgivness.  I ended up exchanging the P790, because I just didn’t like the feel and ended up with the Honma TW747v forged irons.  It has the forgiveness, accuarcy, distance and feel of the P790’s and MP18 MMC rolled into one.  The Honma irons have been won my bag for the 2019 season.

I always thought the 790s and the 919 Forged were pretty similar in skill level to play. If distance is a consideration, give 919 Hot Metal or Hot Metal Pro a look.

First. You have to eliminate the iron number-distance, from your head, with Players irons. Otherwise you’ll be forcing your swing, resulting in bad shots. 

 

I love my SCs but I shout 1 iron less than with Game improvement irons. Loft is different. 

 

Consistency is what you’re looking for in these type of irons. And of course addictive feeling when you hit the sweet spot.
