Mizuno MP-20 SEL's.  Modus 105 stiffs.  Love them.

I'd like that, but honestly would like the perimeter weighting through 6 or 7 iron ideally. Question then, no worries flighting the 6,7 iron in the blade? I'm a 5hcp and getting older. I have the i500's and they fly great but feel like s***. So on that, do the 4 and 5 irons feel close to as good as the blades in the shorter irons?

[LeftyTPH]

Recently got some PXG 0211's since they are on sell. They are a progressive set that I think would fit your desire for a combo set. 

[obohlman]

I'm back and forth between my Ping i210's and a set of 40 year old Wilson Staff Pro FG-17 just purchased from eBay which force me to FOCUS! The old Wilson Staff are 1 club different by loft, and 1/2" shorter shafts so they end up about 1.5 clubs shorter. Interestingly, I prefer looking down at those tiny little blades! The mis-hits result in much greater loss of distance, but I seem to be far more accurate with these old blades. The old blades seem to impart more spin on the ball as well... Got me scratching my head now! I'm shooting similar scores, low to mid 80's with both...

Look class I was fit for KBS Tour 120 Stiff and will definitely be getting in my new irons. How do you find them?

Not as punishing as I expected. I hit them about a half club shorter on the good strikes but that's prob due to lofts. The mishits are well...rough.

[koleschofield34]

I've gone through a few sets the last couple years. After my 716 AP2's, I went to Callaway Apex Pro 19, then to Titleist T100, then to Miura CB's. I sold all of those sets and I am using some Mizuno MP 59's that are in good shape until I go get fit before next spring.

[ghiaben]

I got Ping i200's 3 years ago and I still love them. Solid and consistent (the clubs not my game).

Hutstar, I am 67 and use the 6 iron as the longest iron, Ping G410 hybrids the rest of the way to 5 wood.  No issues with the MP-20's at all as far as ease of play.  I have the 5 iron, but hit the G410 26 degree so well that I can't take it out of the bag.  3.8 handicap.

Wilson’s all the way. You have the Staff Model blades and now the CB’s and the GoAt of irons in the last 4 years the V6’s.

 

100% agree here. Go new CB in 4-5-6 and 7-PW in the blades. Shouldn't break the bank too hard like the TM/Titleist combo sets would.

I agree Taylormade and Titleist are expensive and I am sure getting a combo set would only add to the price I was really looking for a Pre-built combo set like Srixon to keep the price down but might just have to go with a full set and maybe swap out the set wedge for a vokey one

The Wilson set also look pure and exactly what I am after

Been playing the Ping S56 since the day they came out and they are still firmly in the bag. This year, they have fended off 3 sets of irons...the Callaway Apex 19 Pro / Apex MB combo, Srixon Z785, and Ping i210. Found the Apex 19 Pro LLLOONNGG and had some huge fliers from first cut, Srixons werent as bad for fliers for me (note to self hit more fairways!) and actually surprised the heck out of me for the feel. The i210...well...they are great irons and I won't knock them, but the soles are huge (compared to what I'm used to) and for some reason didnt find them as consistent as my S56.

 

IF, I were to take another run at them with more/different brand irons I would try the T100 and the 620mb. The safe bet for me would be to get a new set of iBlades or Blueprints with KBS Tour Shafts.

[Ghost of Snead]

Still playing Callaway X-Protos but it might be time to replace them. Blueprints look interesting as do the Titleist 620 MBs. 

[Leftyaussie]

I use the Ping i210, I really like them but thinking of going back to a forged iron. They feel kind of clunky and not as soft as a forged head. 

[LeftyMatt24]

Two sets of t100s are in the BST. Pretty decent deals. I love mine and won’t be switching anytime soin

How do you find the shorter irons 

Size wise are they far off a blade in terms of top line 

If your looking for blade size and a really thin top line look elsewhere.

[Dr. Block]

I've gone from a combo-set of 2018 Callaway MB and X-Forged the last few years to Taylormade P-760's this season. I wanted to give the newest tech a whack, and I've been very impressed. The P-760's really measure up in feel and workability in the short irons (or at least as much as they can to a proper blade like the MB).  The longer irons are noticeably more forgiving then the X-Forged.

I’ve been alternating between my Titleist bag with T100S irons and my Ping bag with Blueprints. I could honestly get rid of either bag and be fine with the other, but why choose.

I got fit into T100 (p-5i) + T200 (4i)

 

I went ahead and got the 5 iron too because I wanted more forgiveness on the 200+ yard irons.

 

The T100 irons are amazing though, I hit the CB's and they look identical at address and flew a little shorter (as designed). 

If I was you I would do CB with T100 5-4 iron maybe?

 

 

 

 

[Frenchman]

I went back to playing MP-32’s earlier this year. Made me wonder why I ever got rid of them 14 years ago. 

[leftynick]

Still waiting for Hogan to make Icons for Lefties.

one can dream...

 

This year I’ve played 

JPX hot metal 

MP54

Hogan FTX

Hogan PTX

Hogan Radials ( forged )

Playing Srixon 765’s and back up is Cobra Black MB/CB, slight edge to Srixon on forgiveness, but both forged clubs are awesome. Such better selection of Lefty sticks, thanks Philly Mick. It started with the 731pm’s.

[lefty1978]

Currently playing my MP32 set (4-pw) and loving it. This year I've also played MP20, JPX919F and Cobra Fly-z Pro Forged. 

[Abe21599]

went from TM M1s to the 919 forged.

Sir, I am impressed.

May I ask of your impressions of the MP20s. Feel wise, better than your other Mizzys? 

[jimb]

Just moved from the Callaway Apex Pro 19 irons (5-PW) to the Mizuno JPX 921 SEL.  My Pros were getting pretty beat up so I made the move.  I took the KBS $ Taper 120 shafts out of them and installed a set of Nippon Modus Tour 105s in them, soft stepped 1X.  The Mizunos are traditionally lofted, at least through the 6-PW and launch higher than the Pros.  The Pros had KBS Tour R+ shafts in them.  The JPX 921 set is 4-GW, but I use a hybrid 4 iron and my current gap wedge (Callaway MD 50) I have a lot of confidence in.  So the 921s I have in the bag are the 5-PW right now.

MP20s are a great Mizuno iron, just not my favorite as far as feel. The 32s are my favorite on feel and I find them to be a tad more forgiving, I just seem to get along with them better. I have no issues playing any of my Mizuno irons at any time.
