Considering making the switch

switching from ping s59 to forged blades

Hey all,

I'm thinking about forsaking the ping s59's and switching back to something forged bc of all the issues with having to send stuff back to ping to get fixed etc whereas with titleist or nike or whatever blades that have a std. x100 not some proprietary shaft if a shaft breaks you just order a new shaft you dont have to lose that iron for weeks. So the question is whats your opinions on the blades out there...who makes the best small headed playable workable blade? Titleist (not 690 cant stand em), Nike (nice small head), Mizuno(which one), or someone else (not a blade but nice players club, Cally X tour) ? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated b4 i bother trying a million wastes of time and bothering any reps to see what i can work out on a set. So any good players whove tried these blades lemme know. Thanks.

i'd take a look at teh bridgestone j33 blades. they have a really compact head and set up really nice. great feel with them but probably the least forgiving club i've ever swung....but it's a blade so what do you expect. they also have a lower trajectory which was a nice little attribute. also takea look at anything mizuno....mp-33, mp-37 or mp-32...all are excellent in the feel and playability department. won't be disapointed by any, and this is coming from a guy with s-59's as well.

No reason not to switch since you are playing a small head, you are in for at least a distance control, not to mention feel treat.

I had a similar, most likely bad fitting, bad experience with 690CB's, and went on to 735CM Chrome's. I will not be getting any other set of irons until I wear these out. They fit my game perfectly.. There is nothing like a well blended set of combo's in my opinion.

In mizuno I don't think you can beat the 32's...

Good luck...
