ouch; someone has all three sets?

 

 

Doubt it but I’m sure there are several people in this thread with different models…

Just got mine earlier this month and have put them in play during this holiday break and couldn't be happier. The build quality, feel and performance is outstanding. Turf interaction, shot shaping and distance control is the best I've seen from any previous set of irons I've owned. My iron ho'ing days have come to an end. Definitely worth the fitting time and inve$tmemt IMO.

Would you say the MB are the same as P7TW blade length size?

The profile of their wedges is just perfection.

From the looks via pictures, can someone share how different the sole widths are between the models? Also, anything particularly different within club heads that makes it noticeably different? Seems like the MB is more forgiving in shape/size than other big OEM blades?

I can only speak for the MB. The blade length is longer as Tiger preferred it that way so it would be harder for him to turn it over. 

 

I finally get mine tomorrow so can compare to Blueprints then.

I am heading down to meet my friend who has my Mb's tomorrow and playing at Gullane with him. 

 

Now, do I use my new irons or just keep them for the Spring. I am learning towards the Spring.

Use them! Life is short! Enjoy.

Use them, they're so good! Put mine in play last Tuesday, and shot the best scores of the year this past Saturday & Sunday, and carried the hot streak into the new year yesterday as well. I've never hit anything that feels as wonderful as these forged irons. I'm not sure why people would sleep on getting a set. Trust me, figure out how to get it done and you'll be very very happy!

You gotta give them a test drive!!!

You didn’t spend 400 a club to look at them 

[scott_Donald]

well just back from 6 hours driving for a round of golf and get 6 irons!

 

I only hit them 5 times as we played Gullane no3(guessing 5300 par 68)

 

9 iron

8 iron twice

7 iron

5 iron

 

So far feel is different to my blueprints.

I was swinging well and the flight was lower than my blueprints.

Weight is nice and heavy. turf interaction was great on links tees or winter rough.

When comparing the heads to my Blueprints they are bigger but when playing they don't look much different.

Missed 1 green of the 5 so can't complain.

 

4 birdies and 2 doubles. Course is fun and would certainly play again. No 1 is far better though. If I had stayed down I could have played Muirfield tomorrow but fathering duties prevailed!

Nice!

Well starting in November, I had a putter fitting and then a couple weeks later went for the wedge fitting. Easily one of my favorite golf experiences ever for both of them. I loved the look at the irons so I scheduled a fitting and had it done today. Those irons are amazing. I am not the greatest ball striker, but I am somebody that strives to be confident at something that frames the ball well. These heads framed the ball maybe better than anything I have seen before. I absolutely fell in love with them during the fitting process. Jay was super knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had and thankfully I had a good enough ball striking day to be fit into a HC/ FC set.  I’m ecstatic and can’t wait to have my bag completed.

Do you think the tungsten in the Ping Blueprints help more for launch and ball trajectory?

honestly I have no idea, the blueprints are very forgiving for their size.

 

I have not hit the artisan irons since December 28. been to the range with the blueprints a few times and again other than feel I didn't notice anything but artisan sample size is very small at 5 hits.

 

I hit the ball high with the blueprints, hitting it lower would help me, I was also swinging very well on December 28.

God, when will some more raw MBs surface...

Huge fan of raw and asked if they could do it for my set. Not for the first couple years...

I have done this to a set of Miura TC-201s...

 

Just hard to think of doing it to the Artisans. Maybe after 2024.

I just had a phone fitting with Jay last week. I had held off for quite some time after I got the invitation to purchase till I put my order through. The phone fitting process went really great we talked through so many different options before finally settling on the HC 5-pw. I was pretty set on doing a split set with the MB starting at the 8 iron but when we discussed appropriate gaping it made more sense to do HC all the way through to keep me in the lofts I am used to. I also asked about the raw MB's and it was a no go currently. We ended up keeping my same shaft (MMT 125S) and built the length off my Artisan wedges that I had sent in to have the faces re-blasted. Overall it was a fantastic process and I can't wait to get the irons. Jay answered every question and was great to work with.

Siri, alert me when Mike says we’re a go.

[Crashhays]

Well after 2 weeks of waiting, which wasn’t very long, my new combo set showed up today! To stay in thrilled with how they turned out would be an understatement. These things are glorious. Immediately took them into the garage to hit them. They feel better than the ones at the fitting. Now to get out tomorrow on the launch monitor to get yardages 

[rnolan79]

These came in last week. I could not have asked for better build quality on these. They are perfect. I was going to go split set (MB's in short irons) but after talking with Jay I went all HC due to wanting to keep the lofts very similar to what I have been playing. Also got my wedges re-blasted at the same time. We built the set to match my Artisan gap wedge as that was my favorite club in the bag. May add an FC 4-iron at some point but for now the bag is set for 2024.

both of these last two sets posted are sweet. I wish i had confidence to consistently strike the ball well enough to own a set!

  

[BraxtonGolf]

For anyone that has hit both:

 

how would you compare the Artisan FC vs the OG zx7?

 

I play competitively and trying to justify buying the FC over my zx7. I like the zx7 but occasionally I hit a really hot ball that carries about 12 yards too far.

 

im also looking at miura CB-1008 anecdotally.

I cannot speak to the zx7s.  I came from Mizuno JPX919 forged irons.  For me, the Artisans have much better distance dispersion than my Mizunos did.
